So finally the Backbreaker demo is here. Me being a demo whore I had to download it as soon as it came out. This game has been talked about for a few years now and always getting pushed back due to uncertain reasons. So I loaded it and started the exhibition game right away,ready to break some tackles and score! Well I was in for a surprise. If you are expecting NFL Blitz then this is not the game for you. If you are expecting Madden well this is definitely not the game for you.
I recommend anyone who plays the demo to start with the training mode first to get the controls down pat. The controls are very different than any football game I have played. After playing a few games I got the hang of it but it was not what I was expecting. I think this game will be a failure at launch since it will give everyone false hope of a game better than Madden.
The Good:
- The gaming engine is amazing.
- Running is finally easier than passing.
The Bad:
- All players move the same.
- Passing the ball is not easy.
- No real teams/players.
I don’t see this game making an impact in the market. I rather play NFL Blitz or Madden.
