Backyard Hockey '02

Unfortunately, though this is a free game, this does not have the charm of the other Backyard sports games and that's due to the change in character design, voice acting, gameplay and customization. Character Design: A lot of the classic characters have different looks, and they don't really stand out anymore with the occasional few you can be like "Oh! That's Pablo" or "Hey Kenny's Back!" Some of the characters we know look more grown, which is normal when you got a game about kids, they are going to grow up eventually, but it took away from the charm a bit. It's almost like its the Backyard Sports Kids from TEMU. The pro's are cool and all but some of them don't even have voice lines that pop up. Voice Acting: To continue with the VA, some of the characters sound bland compared to how they did in other games, now again, its just them growing up probably, but the charm is lost with it, and in this one, the announcers are UNBAREABLE. Every little thing that happens they have to say something, and it feels like a trainwreck. Gameplay: To hectic for my taste, you have no idea what the power-ups do, and its just mashing the mouse and aiming at the goal or a teammate, hoping for the best. The penalty system is really weird and it seems like its rigged against you, I never won a Rock Paper Scissors in which the penalty should of been called on the other team. Customization: Finally the customization in this game is one of the weakest in all the franchise. I tried doing league play, and you cannot even use any of the licensed NHL teams from back then, which was a huge selling point to the other games. Unfortunate release, a forgotten game, give it a shot cause its free, but this one should of stayed forgotten.

Genuinely best Free hockey game out there I love it I super duper reccomend

juego bueno aunq medio trucho pq ya jugue todas las arenas y ni me las desbloquea

para quem gosta de um jogo old school é muito bom

Love Backyard Hockey! It’s too bad that the NHL teams aren’t in here. At least we got some of the NHL pros back.

O jogo é bom, não tenham dúvidas disso. Mas rodar ele é outros 500s. A primeira vez que eu abri funcionou perfeitamente. Na segunda, toda a vez que a partida ia abrir, o jogo crashava. Tive que instalar um aplicativo terceiro pra poder rodar. Na dificuldade padrão ele é MUITO fácil, sendo 15 gols por jogo a média que eu consegui. Mas com as regras de icing e os tempos maiores já fica mais desafiador. Baixe, teste. Se rodar, bom. Se não rodar, não sei se vale o transtorno, espero que um bug fix update saia, mas não acredito muito nisso.
