For many families, Super Bowl Sunday spikes an interest in football video games. For the youngest gridiron fan who isn't ready for the complexities of Madden NFL 08 or NFL Tour,Backyard Football 2008 on the Nintendo Wii may be a good fit.
The Backyard Sports franchise has been around for more than 10 years and Backyard Football 2008 is the sixth iteration of this children's football simulation game. This is the first time it is offered on the Wii.
The idea behind this series is that kids play sports with other backyard kids, including child-versions of professional players. This year's edition features Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, LaDainian Tomlinson, Brian Urlacher, Reggie Bush, Michael Strahan, and nine other NFL pros. Each backyard cartoon kid will talk to you, encouraging you to pick him or her while you draft your seven-person team. During this draft, the backyard kids' strengths and weaknesses are displayed on simple charts.
