IGN writes: "There are a lot of football games out there to sort through and try out, but only one franchise has consistently tried to deliver a fun, pick-up-and-play experience that's accessible to kids: Backyard Sports. Touted as the only brand licensed by all the professional US sports leagues, Backyard Football '09 carries on the Backyard Sports tradition by letting major NFL athletes (in child form) play with a classic group of kids from the series. I had the chance to try out the game at an Atari event in San Francisco recently with Humongous Executive Producer Skip Saling, who walked me through the details."
