Ben-DutkaIn our view, Backbreaker was one of those "close but not quite" games.
However, it certainly was quite unique and it showed potential for future installments. And now that NaturalMotion has unveiled their new update – an update that actually has a name; "Greathouse" – this is an experience pigskin fans might want to try. This update brings a host of new features to this attempt at revolutionary football, along with a few tweaks and patches. Said Todd Gibbs, Game Development boss at NaturalMotion:
"We are lucky to have such a passionate community who have supported us throughout the development of Backbreaker and continue to do so post-launch. Greathouse will give them what they have asked for, packed as it is with additions, changes, tweaks and requests taken directly from our online forums, reviews, as well as from individual players who spent time at our offices testing the latest features. I am extremely proud of what the team has managed to achieve in just a month."
What does the update include? Well, enough stuff that might actually impact the gameplay directly, and almost make us want to re-review it:
What actually intrigues us most on that list is the improved quarterback camera view and a new user-catch system. We mentioned in our analysis of the game that the QB's lack of vision at almost all times was a big problem, and being able to actually catch the ball with our intended receiver could help, too. Anyway, with this update, you might want to consider giving Backbreaker a shot.

This game may be bad according to the reviews but a couple of more installments and will probably catch up to madden.

Before this game came out It was looking and sounding pretty good, But after reading PSX review for it, it didn't sound so good so I got the demo. It was ok but still needed a lot of work. hopefully the sequel will be a lot better because I really liked the idea they had with this game.
This update might get some more people to purchase and play more frequently but I doubt I will pick it up.
I played the demo for it and hated it. If they want me to take another shot at it, they're going to have to put out a new demo with these new updates.
This game is still getting attention?
