Product Description

From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"

This upgraded edition of the kid-friendliest basketball sim features ten pint-sized NBA pros like Shaquille O'Neal, Vince Carter and Kevin Garnett. There's also 30 neighborhood ball players ready to shoot some hoops. Like the original, kids pick their favorite players and uniforms, choose a court and control all the action. Mini- games let kids practice their skills, which is good, because in-game play requires quick dribbling, accurate passing and aggressive shooting. A little practice goes a long way, and kids can quickly jump into the action, playing a single game or an entire season. Stats are kept, game play is fast-paced, and humor is ever present via fun characters and commentary. As with past versions of this program, this is a fun program, and a great way for kids to learn about the game of basketball. Note that a PlayStation 2 version of this program is also available, with even more features.Copyright © 2001 Children's Software Revue

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Backyard Basketball 2004 (CD-ROM)

It isn't the greatest game out there but it is definitly a good way to pass the time. You can choose your own players, become a champion and even play a few mini-games to sharpen up after a break. It can be as bad or as good as you make it.

I had tried to order this game previously, but couldn't get it for various reasons. But, I tried once more and got it. My grandson absolutely loves it, as he is a sports fan of all sports. Thanks Amazon!
