Customer Reviews

Massive problems
My son got this game for the holidays and we have had nothing but problems with it. This relates to the Backyard Soccer 2004 edition. It will not even play on my son's machine which is so far ahead of the minimum requirements it is ridiculous. Tech support has been horrible as all they keep saying is to reinstall video and sound drivers. They are also big fans of changing the monitor settings. I was able to get the game to work on a different machine, but even on that machine the game would suffer fatal crashes. I'm awaiting yet another e-mail from tech support. I have requested information about returning the game or exchanging it for another. If they tell me they I have to return it to the store I will go beserk as it was a gift from family in Florida and everyone knows how easy it is to return opened software

Backyard Soccer
My 11 year old son says this game is the Bomb! He says he could play it forever. He has Backyard Baseball and Hockey but says that the Soccer is the best he's played of the Backyard Series.
