Backbreaker: Vengeance is a sequel to Natural Motion’s 2010 physics based football game. Vengeance takes the tackle alley mode from the first game and expands it to 3 different modes that make up the whole game. Unlike the first game this one doesn’t have a mode for actual football matches. The game keeps the physics based gameplay from the first so there are still tons of interesting and funny tackles and moments in the game. Demitrius Berkley-Thomas reviews Backbreaker: Vengeance for the Xbox 360 / XLBA.
With Football season upon us, TechRaptors Robert Grosso tackles one of the best alternatives to Madden from last generation, Backbreaker.
Backbreaker Vengeance is inspired by the sport of American football but ironically, this game is more suited to people who don’t want to play a simulation of the sport than to those who do. The simulation and complexity of American football has been completely stripped away. The gameplay has more in common with Stuntman Ignition, Joe Danger or Trials HD than a fully fledged feature packed simulation like the latest Madden game. The gameplay is so streamlined and focused that you will never even kick or throw a football.
"The price is a little bit steep, but Backbreaker Vengeance is a well made title that will quite easily keep you entertained for a few hours at a time. You won’t get through all of the challenges in one run through, but you’ll certainly return to it time and time again."
