There is no doubt that Madden has been the football king for years. There has been little to no competition since EA Sports secured the NFL License exclusively back in 2004. Developers NaturalMotion have been hard at work developing Backbreaker for quite some time, defiantly aiming to take on the Madden juggernaut. The real question is, do they stand a chance?
With Football season upon us, TechRaptors Robert Grosso tackles one of the best alternatives to Madden from last generation, Backbreaker.
Michael, Ray, and the best of the worst for the week of October 14th!
There are many sports franchises that are fantastic editions to the world of gaming, deserving both as an edition to their respective gaming field and to video gaming at large. Other franchises, however, have seen their time. It’s time for these franchises to go the way of the dinosaur before they get even worse than they already are.
Should be dissolved too. The yearly additions are essentially the same except for rosters, schedules, and new stadiums.
I would go as far as to say that most of these games are actually worse than the previous iteration.
Good review, might give this a rent sometime down the line since I don't usually buy sports titles.
But the physics engine is pretty sweet looking
Waiting for this game to drop in price....39.99 sounds good....hell, make it 19.99 and you have yourself a happy customer
I will not pay $50 for this. There was a few things wrong with that demo. Tackle Alley was fun as heck to play. The camera needs some work and the play calling looks generics. The AI in the demo was very bad also. Looks like I might skip football again this year.
I'm just glad to see more and more developers getting their way into this genre. I'm sure there are more, but I can only tell you that EA Sports rules the land. For a new company to make a game and then have it be relatively good? Sign of good thing to come.
