Information Review

Backbreaker is a sports video game for Sony PS3 and Xbox 360, set to be released on May 25, 2010. The game is developed by Natural Motion and published by 505 Games.

The game breaks the mold of traditional football video games with realistic, physics-based motion AI, crisp high-definition graphics and a camera angle that follows the perspective of the player. At its core, Backbreaker is full-on 11-versus-11 competitive play, and also includes online multiplayer and split-screen multiplayer modes. In addition, the game features total team customization including a fully featured logo editor.

Backbreaker welcomes newcomers to the genre with its intuitive pick-up-and-play Arcade Mode control scheme, while seasoned players can go head-to-head in the game's demanding Pro Mode that turns off AI and visual assists.

Look Through the One of a kind Camera View: Backbreaker’s camera system has been designed to complement the controls, with techniques such as shake and dynamic field of view changes that give the game its distinct ‘on the field’ feel, aiding the player by dynamically framing the action.

Watch JumboTron Worthy Graphics & Instant Replay: Backbreaker uses state of the art animation and rendering technology for high definition dazzle. The instant replay system allows players to celebrate each tackle or touchdown, complete with reactions from crowds 90,000 strong.

Throw the Pigskin Online: Backbreaker supports extensive online functionality including competitive and team co op (live and split screen) gameplay online, and the ability to play in exhibition mode with up to four players.

Choose Between Powerful or Precise Plays: In evasive mode, players are more agile and can dodge, turn and jump to avoid threats, though they are more likely to fumble when tackled. In aggressive mode, players can stiff arm and fight through linemen, run faster and fend off big hits and tackles.
