Matt Liebl writes,"In a time when the NFL is cutting down on celebrations, Backbreaker Vengeance encourages showboating. Score a touchdown or land a big hit and rub it in your opponent’s face. Other than that, Backbreaker Vengeance offers little else, making it an experience that is enjoyable for about 15 minutes until you get bored of big hits and repetitive celebrations"
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."
