Backyard Baseball
Ever since Abner Doubleday created the glorious game of baseball, it has reached the hearts of millions of adults and children yearning for excitement. In the game Backyard Baseball, the creators at Humongous Entertainment have combined pickup games that happen in towns and the Major Leagues to 'marry' them together into one amazing game. The game consists of many of the game's best pros back in 2001 and 2002, including the 'great' Barry Bonds, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and Albert Pujols. In the game, you have the option to choose what field to play on, teams (including all thirty Major League teams), difficulty level, and who you play with. For example, I could be the Chicago Cubs and have the team of Derek Jeter, Frank Robinson, Albert Pujols, Sammy Sosa, Alex Rodriguez, Ichiro Suzuki, Jimmy Rollins, Mike Piazza (who is on the cover), and Randy Johnson. The mixture of being able to have the players you know and love and the kids in the Backyard series make for the most excellent combination of a game. There are five modes to the Backyard Baseball game. There is Quick Game, Home Run Derby, Single Game (different from quick game in the way you can draft and choose settings), Season Mode, and Multiplayer, which is not compatible on Vizzed. Each mode provides you something different that will keep you interested in the game for a long time.
Graphics 5: This is the main flaw of the game. Even though this game was released in 2002, the game still has that pixel-like look. It is very distracting sometimes to look at the game when you are either pitching or batting and notice how the pixels stand out very much unlike other games. Also, I feel as if some of the players look a little odd, such as how one player looks like her head resembles an eggplant.
Sound 9: The sounds in this game, with the exception of one, are very well made. I enjoyed listening to the different sounds and how the sounds varied when certain things happened. The only problem with the sound, though, is that there is one girl who yells the same thing every time no matter what happens. It was enough to tick me off and put it in this review.
Addictiveness 10: With all of the game modes and player combinations you can choose, it was hard to put the game down and play another. I will likely go back and play this game again until I have done everything with every single character. That is how addictive the game is to me.
Story Omitted: There is no main 'story', so the story section is invalid to this review.
Depth 10: Like I said earlier, this game has five different game modes and many characters to choose from. Also, since the game has the Single Game option, the game will never end.
Difficulty 7: It took me a while to get used to the timing of the game, but when things seemed to start to click, I had a blast. You will always be challenged by this game unless you play on too low of a difficulty, in that case you should boost your difficulty and change your settings. This is not the hardest game in the world, but is very fun and challenging to play.
Overall, this game receives the score of an 8.2. This game offers the ability to play as the pros in a kids world, which provides a new look on baseball and how it is played in neighborhoods and towns today. I would recommend this game to anyone who has played baseball in their lives, watched baseball, or played other baseball games (such as MLB the Show).

I swear, if I didn't have the speed up button while playing this, I'd pull my hair out. This game is ridiculously slow-paced.

Description of Backyard Baseball Windows
Read Full ReviewHome Run Park
Imagine a game where the players play for the love of the game, not the money. A game where multi-million dollar contracts are unknown. A game where everyone gets to play. Imagine a game just like it was with the youthful innocence of a child. This, my friends, is Backyard Baseball. Backyard Baseballtakes you back to when you were a kid, when baseball was a game, and the team was hastily put together among the kids in the neighborhood.
Playing for Real
Humongous Entertainment reached back into the past and captured all those childhood memories of baseball and digitally assembled them into this game. All the details that make the memories real are here - from the kids taunting the pitcher to the child with the asthma inhaler. Do you remember picking teams, taking turns picking from the best players until only the bad players were left? Do you remember picking someone's little brother because his big brother was a good player? It's all here. Nothing was left out.
Players choose from fields such as the sandlot, the urban parking lot, and the rich kid's backyard. Pitchers throw crazy pitches such as the 'Elevator' and the 'Crazy Ball.' Background ambient noises and the taunting by the opposing team add to the rich atmosphere that you can almost smell.
Everything about this game is charming and cute.
Swing and Miss
Gameplay includes all the necessary elements. Pitchers choose the pitch as well as the placement. Hitters swing at the ball and can even see the strike zone. Fielding is accomplished by clicking where you want the ball thrown, and running is as simple as clicking in the direction you want the runner to advance. Everything is here, and everything is easy enough for kids. The pace is a little slow, but not too fast for children. Each batter has a distinct personality - from the boy who hops to the plate to the girl who says 'my game is really tennis, anyway' when she strikes out. I was extremely impressed with all the details of each character.
I have a few complaints about the game. This game doesn't install any files to the hard disk - everything is run from the CD. For some reason, each swing of the bat causes the CD to be read. This makes the animation choppy and the mouse click to hit feels sluggish and unresponsive. While the game is playable with this problem, it makes hitting the ball a little difficult. Instead of getting better the more balls I hit, I never really improved. I think this is because I never was able to time when I hit the mouse button and the player started their swing. That little delay when it read from the CD just ruins the hand/eye coordination.
I tried copying the entire 270MB of CD data to the hard disk to see if that improved performance (note: this is not an option in the install menu, I just copied it by dragging the contents of the CD into a new folder on my hard disk.) It did speed up the game somewhat, but the batting problem didn't improve significantly.
I also encountered one bug: I hit a ball that bounced infield, then over the fence for what should have been a double. The announcer even stated this was a double, but the runner advanced only to first.
Worthy of Praise
This game is terrific and has all the elements of a Gold Medal winner. But I can't do it. The delay in clicking the mouse and the batter swinging the ball just ruins it for me. I still like the game a lot and highly recommend it, but a Gold Medal is for games without such evident flaws. I guess I'm mad because this should have been corrected. Even a little play testing would have shown that this was a problem. Instead, we are left with what could have been a 'Game of the Year,' but instead fails to deliver on one very important game element.
This is still an outstanding game and I recommend it strongly.
