I was searching for a good arcade football game for the GBA. I bought Madden 2003 due to positive reviews, but it is heavy on the simulation side and wasn't my type of football. I was leaning towards NFL Blitz for GBA due to my love of it on PS2, but it reviews poorly and is fairly [$$$] considering it rated a 1 out of 10 on [...]. So I bought Backyard Football, based on 2 positive reviews, and it is really fun to play. It is similar to Tecmo Bowl (side view play) and works well for the GBA. It has NFL players as well as fictional children to choose from and you pick all of your players, just like if you were playing backyard football. It has season play and 2 player game-linking, provided you have a second cartridge and a link cable. The music is awesome and sounds good in the background. The graphics are fairly good, although the characters are so small, the details differentiating characters are minimal. All in all, this seems to be the Arcade Football game to get for GBA.

I got this game on christmas morning, and when i poped the game in my GBA i had a feeling this was going to be a hard game. i played it for about an hour and then i got used to it. The more you play it becomes easier.
It has 10 pros. they are:Brett Farve,Micheal Vick,Peyton Manning,Jerry Rice,Jeff Garcia, Donavan Mcnabb,Jevon Kerse,Rich Gannon, Terrel Davis, and Ricky Williams. i give the graphics a 7 out of a 10. there are alot of game modes,such as, practice,pick up,Season play,multiplayer,and player cards.
If you are looking for a good football game for kids this is the game.

I have a few tips for u guys out there, always and I mean always pick Rice because u can pass to him most of the time at Metro Civic Playgrounds because I picked him and I won every game. Oh yeah on a scale of 1 through 10 i would rate the game 8 or 9. If you read this THANK YOU.

Okay, first this game is the bomb.You can pick your team and it shows the ranking if you do season plays.You can hove running plays and throws.It has a pretty good game control.You can see it
good to. You can play with Jerry Rice,Rich Gannon,Jeff Garcia,Donavan McNabb,Ricky Williams,micheal Vick,Terrell Davis,Jevon Kearse,
Brett Farve,and Peyton Manning.They all have different skills,example Mike Vick runs better then Farve, But Farve throws better

The first time I played this game it was ok. But after playing it for awhile it got boring. It was way too easy.

They game is sort of fun. This game was fun the first time I played it but now its boring. For one thing it's too easy. Another thing there's not that many people to choos from Back Yard baseball is way better.

This is an okay game but there are a few problems...

PROBLEMS
1. it's pretty darn easy even on the HARD level.

2. you can get a touchdown just about every drive

3. you can intercept just about every pass

4. gameplay is too slow

5. The graphics are not too great

GOOD STUFF

1. You can create your own player

2. You can create your own team

3. It has some pro players and still the backyard kids

4. There are different stadiums

Well, thats all. The backyard games are better for other systems though so check those games out if you have PC or Game Cube.

My 8 year old son LOVES this game. We got the 2003 version and he could not stop playing it.... Then for Christmas he begged for the 2004 version. He plays it for hours, without asking one question, which is saying a lot..... He also loves Backyard Baseball. We now have Backyard Football 2003 & 2004 for PC, and now Backyard Football for Gameboy .... so he can play against his friends.....

This is a awesome game. It is really fun. I like to make my own players. I play it a lot. They have cool power plays and also have tricky plays.

At first this game is too easy. But it has a lot of depth, you can create your own characters, or just pick up a game and play. The fun is in changing around your offensive and defensive playbook and in trading players to try to beat your opponents even better than you do. It's satisfying to win. I'm sick and tired of games like crash bandicoot that just get insanely difficult to win while getting all of the boxes, gems, and apples. I'm sick of playing the last boss of metroid fusion 100 times and still being defeated. I'm sick of having to conserve my bullet-time on Max-Payne only to waste it accidently right before a big battle with no way to replenish it without taking hits. So yeah, as far as Gameboy Advance Games go, Backyard Football Rocks.
