   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 didn't even know this game was even on here. I guess that's what happens when you don't look for them right? I used to play that game a long time ago before I could read. I only remember it a bit but I think it was a good game.
