Summary: BYB'03
Review: I am looking forward to the release of this game tremendously. The first BYB was the debut by Humongous Entertainment for the Backyard Sports series. The second was much improved, offering Major League Teams and players, along with online play. The last three releases from Humongous (owned by Infogrames) have been fabulous games with computer animation as well as hand drawn. It's hard to imagine that Backyard Baseball 2003 will be able to beat the success of BYB'01, but with the return of players like Sammy Sosa, Derek Jeter, Jason Giambi and Alex Rodriguez coupled with new players such as Ichiro, Tim Hudson and Carlos Delgado, this looks to be one of the better Backyard Games. I was mildly disapointed with the performance of Backyard Basketball, not because of bad graphics or gameplay flaws, but because of having only two professional players (Kevin Garnett and Lisa Leslie) and no official NBA teams! One minor gameplay glitch miffed me about BYF'02, but it was a small price to pay for excellent graphics and 10 pros such as Brett Farve. BYB'03 wields 4 brand new fields. Go to the Infogrames web site and go to Children's games and click on Backyard Baseball 2003 for screen shot. Ichiro up to bat against the Twin's Brad Radke now encompasses my computer screen. I am saddened by the loss of favorites Mark McGwire, Cal Ripken Jr. and Tony Gwynn, especially Ripken. Regardles of popular belief, Cal IS the best infielder in that game (Sorry, Derek, buddy). Hopefully with the rise of BYB'03, will come more cheats. I think the employment of cheat codes could do no harm to the game. ...!! Well, the dawn of a new Backyard game is coming, and while I can't make the Yankees lose the World Series in the real world, perhaps my Mariners can pull of a few '03 miricales in the Backyard Realm. Until then, Jah Backyard Peeps, RIDE ON! go M's, make them yanks cringe. Out.

Summary: Backyard Baseball 2003
Review: BBY 2003 is a whole lot better than BBY 2001. Get the picture?
BBY 2003 has rad new sounds like the swings, connections with
the bat & ball etc. New people are doing voices for Vinny, Sunny
and the players. A dissapointment in BBY 2003 is a loss of 3
all-stars: Mark Mcgwire, Mo Vaghn and Cal Ripken Jr. Mac was always avalible for some reason. He was a guy I counted on all
the time. Hit Dog was usually 3rd in the batting order so we could get a man on for Sosa or Mcgwire at cleanup to knock it out of the park. Albert Puljos has replaced Mark Mcgwire for his powerhouse hitting and a Gold Glove kind of guy. Greg Vaghn of the D'Rays has replaced his cousin Mo but Greg will never be as good as the Hit Dog. Jeff Conine has replaced Cal Ripken with a 3000 hit aditude and super at 3rd. Ichiro is just amazing in the outfield, basepath and the plate. BBY 2003 is a "mom can I get this?" kind of game.

Review: Backyard Football 2004 is a bit harder then the prior two three (might be two) incarnations of this game. The graphics are great and the sound is amazing. Must have for any sports nut.

Summary: So cute and fun!!
Review: I don't personally own this, but it's at my cousins' house. Everytime I go over there now I feel bad because I'm playing this game as if I were my seven year old cousin. I'm a 17 year old girl! This is definitely the best of the Backyard Sports games that I have played, and I think I've played them all except Backyard Hockey.
Pros: Cute as a button in general!, different pitches with different animations, you can pick real players as kids to be on your team, each player has different strengths and weaknesses, create your own player option, you can choose who plays what position, you create your own team and it's name, colors, and mascot
Cons: Very few. Not enough to deduct a star from the rating. The only thing that frustrates me is that they run so darn slow, lol.
Overall, a great game, no matter what your age.
