Video Game  Review:    Backyard Soccer for PlayStation

Top Pick Backyard Soccer has made its console debut. Now that the game is available for the PlayStation, it is even more accessible than ever. And, that's a good thing--it's very kid-friendly, filled with spirit, and responsible. 

Kids as young as 5 or 6 can enjoy this sports simulation, and parents have been known to play Backyard Sports titles for hours too! While children about 11 and up may prefer a more advanced sim, older siblings will probably join in nonetheless. Game-play is quite realistic, though some fantasy elements (like fun power-ups) are included to add to the fun. 

Players select team members from the Backyard Bunch (a group of animated kids of all shapes and sizes). They can even select a kid-version of a professional soccer player for their team! Children have the opportunity to simply play a pick-up game, or become more deeply involved by choosing League play.
