Summary: Best of the Series So Far
Review: This is truly the best one in the series. If you like basketball you will love basketball. I love basketball , so I love it. The weirdest part and probably the best is that the kids can dunk. How many 6-12 year olds do you know do that? The power-ups are very cool. You can make the other team think about ice cream, while you steal the ball. Or have the hot hands or cold. You can hve super speed, or make the other team have slippery hands. Watch out for getting called for a foul though. There are two pro players in this game. Kevin Garnett of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Lisa Leslie of the Los Angeles Sparks. Kevin Garnett can dunk and shoot close-in shots. He usually doesn't make three-pointers. Lisa Leslie can sometime make them. She can't dunk very easily though. If you want to make yourself, do that. Choose how good you are at inside shooting, outside shooting, ball-handling, defense, and quickness. This game takes a 166MHz, I reccomend having a 200MHz or higher. If not it will go a little bit slower. But,BUY THIS GAME!!!! IT is WORTH IT!!

Summary: Had Hoped It Would BeAs Good As Backyard Baseball
Review: This was disappointing. After Backyard Baseball was a tremendous hit with our 4-year old. Backyard Basketball doesn't live up to the Baseball game. My son & I were both expecting another 30+ professional players that we could learn their names and statistics together. Instead, unike the Backyard Baseball, this product isn't endorsed by the NBA as significantly. It would be great if the software maker put out updates each year so that we could buy another set of players to add to the roster to pick from each year. In general, I'd highly recommend the Backyard Series of PC Games, kid's love them, and they put hours of time into learning how to use them. After getting past the initial disappointment of only learning Kevin Garnett's name, we still enjoyed this game.

Summary: OK
Review: We all thought that backyard basketball would be awsome (well I did.) And it is good but they only have two pros and ones a girl and you can`t slam dunk.
