    Granted, the controls are easier to manage than those in this game's Wii counterpart, but the playbook is as thick as they come. [Holiday 2009, p.85]
  2. Overall, If you are over seven years old you really don’t need to play this game unless you want to get a quick 1,000 points added to your gamerscore.

    Backyard Football 2010 is a good game for young children who love the idea of football. It is simple, easy to pick up and really well designed.
  4. Backyard Football '10 is a game that is meant to be a very simple affair allowing kids to enjoy a little pigskin on dad’s Xbox 360, or their own should they be the primary owner.
  5. You're better off just taking your kids out back and tossing around a real football.
