Editorial Review: Product Description: It's a whole new season of great baseball action with the Backyard Kids and real pro players as kids. Backyard Baseball 2003 teams up with Major League Baseball to bring you kid versions of hard-hitting, base-stealing, tough-fielding players. Create the line-up, take the field and direct all of the action. Earn new pitching and batting power-ups and light up the scoreboard! Amazon.com Review: Infogrames has improved upon an already excellent franchise with Backyard Baseball 2003. We hope this software doesn't become a victim of its own success: the Backyard Kids are getting so good, it's only a matter of time before they start demanding astronomical salaries and brand-new stadiums. The pace, strategy, and statistics involved in baseball make it a sport that translates easily to the computer screen. In Backyard Baseball, players can play pickup games, launch a tournament, have batting practice, or just watch the computer play its own game. Options are initially overwhelming, but add longevity to the game as well. Twelve different game fields each exert their own unique influence over play--balls bounce crazily on the gravel lot, while homers are rare in the fenceless field. Games can be tweaked to add errors or include a visible strike zone; even field chatter can be added or eliminated. A wide selection of hits, pitches, and stance possibilities at the plate keep players strategizing, while the occasional power-up or wild pitch serves as a reminder of baseball's unpredictability. The creative team outdid themselves with character development in this software. The Backyard Kids are quirky and three-dimensional--the research done on the real players was exemplary as well. For example, did you know Randy Johnson of the Arizona Diamondbacks listens to Rush in his spare time? Go figure. Backyard Baseball 2003 will keep both young and old baseball fans engaged for a good long time. Consider it a way to fill that long wintry gap between baseball seasons. (Ages 7 and older) --Anne Erickson Amazon.com Product Description: See if you have what it takes to create a winning baseball team with Backyard Baseball 2003. Pick from 30 Backyard Kids or kid versions of 30 pro players, choose your field, and position your players. You direct all the action on the field, track player and team stats, and earn pitching and batting power-ups to light up the scoreboard. It's the chance of a lifetime to play with pros in your own backyard. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Backyard BaseballThis was for my son who loves playing this game. It is a replacement for one he had lost. Rating: - Pretty sweet.This game is really good. It's compatible with multiple operating systems, which is why it was appealing to me, and most of all, it's "backyard" style play is very alluring. Just a great product overall.
