Product Description

Amazon.com

Backyard Soccer MLS Edition features the familiar cast of 30 neighborhood kids as well as 15 pint-sized versions of Major League Soccer (MLS) and U.S. Women's National Team players, including Cobi Jones, Carlos Valderrama, and Brandi Chastain. The release of Backyard Soccer MLS Edition marks the first time ever that children can interact and play alongside junior versions of their favorite professional soccer heroes as kids! Backyard Soccer MLS Edition features the fast-paced action of adult soccer simulations with easy-to-use, mouse-driven controls that even the littlest soccer star can master. (Ages 5 to 12)

Review

Like Humongous's recent baseball and football installments, this latest release in the popular Backyard series of neighborhood pick-up games brings together the usual 30 or so scrappy neighborhood kids and the junior versions of 15 Major League Soccer and the U.S. Women's Team stars--notable pros such as Brandi Chastain and Cobi Jones.

While the graphics and animated soccer gameplay are simple and lack the sophistication of high-powered soccer sims, the charm of these hokey little Backyard games is that kids get to pick their team rosters based on player strengths and personalities. They also choose team name, logos and uniforms from 12 MLS teams, decide the difficulty level, who plays what positions, and the type of playing field--from grassy stadiums to vacant lots. The net result: Guaranteed, young soccer fanatics will get a big kick out of this game.

Terrible from the seller. I have never been more disappointed in an Amazon purchase. While I did receive the product on time, the seller went cheap and shipped it through the USPS. This normally would not be a problem, but the seller did not properly package the item therefore upon receiving the product, the case was broken and will never close properly again. While I can handle not having a case for the product I cannot handle not being able to use the product on my Mac. The Mac files are corrupted and will not play on my computer. This product was for my brothers and I to remember the good old days of growing up, but instead it is a waste of $16.00 because the seller gave me a BAD product.

I wil never be ordering ANYTHING from this seller again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kids World Cup
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2001
My nine year old is a soccer fanatic, so naturally we had to get him Backyard Soccer for Christmas. Little did I know that this little game could replace his real life fun during the off-season.
From Humongous Entertainment, the makers of other children's classics like Junior Field Trip Collection, Freddi Fish, and the other Backyard favorites (Baseball & Football) comes Backyard Soccer.
This game reminds me of my younger days. The realism included is awesome!
The programmers thought of everything from selecting your own team to playing for the championship.
The game starts with all of the Backyard gang gathered on the bleachers for the ceremonial picking of teams. As you make your selections, you can review the strengths and weaknesses of each player. Once you have put together your "Dream Team", it's off to pick your name and jerseys.
Of course, you have to have somewhere to play, and yes the programmers covered this one too. You pick from a number of neighborhood fields.
Now it's time for the game to start, and low and behold the commentators for the match-up appear. They even have an Englishman to do the color commentary.
My nine year old loaded and taught himself all of the ins and outs of this one. He's already played a number of league seasons, and yes he has won the championship with his Humongous Rockets team! He could even print out his team picture to commemorate the occasion!
The controls are so easy that even my four year old can be competitive at this one.
Thank You Humongous for covering the off-season and keeping soccer alive in my house!

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2001
I bought it for my daughter, and she absolutely loves this game. The graphics are excellent, the personalities and quirks of the players are cute, and the MLS and WUSA players add a very nice touch. Remember, this game was designed for kids. If you want the feel of realistic World Cup soccer, don't expect it from this game. If you want the feel of being a kid, rounding up the other neighborhood kids, choosing sides, finding a make-shift soccer field, and playing fun, arcade-style soccer - you will more than enjoy this game!

1.0 out of 5 stars Give me a goood game man...
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2001
What is this? Junk. When i borrowed this game from my friend I leant it right back saying, this game is worthless. You do nothing. And the score ends up to be like 10, 11, which is unrealistik. Stupid and borring. For one thing, there's someone playing soccer who's in a wheelchair.
Maybe you can use power ups, but those are dumb. If you want a good game i would reccomend FIfa 2001 by five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun for kids
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2001
My little brother loved this game. He found that it was much better than the other version. While you can choose from exciting players such as Cobi Jones, a MLS star or Brandi Chastain, a US womens star, you can create teams with the old original backyard kids. You can play a season and eventually end up winning the cup. You can Also play a multiplayer game, but sometimes it gets a little hectic with little players running around the field tripping and kicking the ball. It may get boring after a while, and the controls are a little odd, but it is still a great game for kids

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2002
All of my kids loved this game. Nothing bad to say about it. It gives soccer lovers a chance to pick teams, coach, learn the rules and have a lot of fun. League or single play option give players a chance to accumulate stats and even progress to the playoffs. Good graphics and lots of audio commentary add to the fun of this game.
