From Humongous Entertainment, the makers of other children's classics like Junior Field Trip Collection, Freddi Fish, and the other Backyard favorites (Baseball & Football) comes Backyard Soccer.

This game reminds me of my younger days. The realism included is awesome!
The programmers thought of everything from selecting your own team to playing for the championship.

The game starts with all of the Backyard gang gathered on the bleachers for the ceremonial picking of teams. As you make your selections, you can review the strengths and weaknesses of each player. Once you have put together your "Dream Team", it's off to pick your name and jerseys.
Of course, you have to have somewhere to play, and yes the programmers covered this one too. You pick from a number of neighborhood fields.

Now it's time for the game to start, and low and behold the commentators for the match-up appear. They even have an Englishman to do the color commentary.

My nine year old loaded and taught himself all of the ins and outs of this one. He's already played a number of league seasons, and yes he has won the championship with his Humongous Rockets team! He could even print out his team picture to commemorate the occasion!

The controls are so easy that even my four year old can be competitive at this one.

Thank You Humongous for covering the off-season and keeping soccer alive in my house!

"Backyard Sports Rock!!!!!!!"
I have played five different backyard sport games, and like them all! In Soccer, my favoret part is being able to pick your own team, most games have estableshed teams! I think that this is good pick for sports lovers.

"12 yr old review"
This is a great game, its difficult but thats what makes it fun. I'd have to say Valderama and Henry Guttierez are the best.

"a 12 yr old rating"
This was a great game, its difficult but fun, my favorite player has to be either henry gutierrez or carlos valadranos. Also, throughout the season they get tired and some get better some get worse. I had brandi chastain and she did well and then got worse, instead i played my goalie at midfield stephanie morgan who stinks except for goalie. She eventually got to be my kicker. Its a great game. Buy it.
