Only if they tone it down some.

I could care less about the mini games they create.

While I was less than enamored with Backbreaker, I eagerly anticipate a release of BB 2 as the original game had a ton of potential.

I agree- kind of bumming because this game had a ton of potential. It was fun and different which is what the football market is lacking imo.

Well I'm excited b/c at least this will give people who aren't hardcore like we are a chance to try this game and it's unique style and feel of football on a large scale (XBOX as opposed to iPhone). Releasing this for $5-10 as a full set of mini games or even as a "create a team and take them online" setup would be cool. Remember that they still need to generate revenue to even support a BB2. These guys aren't working for charity. So if they can use the same assets they created from BB and make some more coin of of it in a fair way, I don't blame them at all.

Re: Backbreaker Vengeance Coming to Xbox Live Arcade This Summer

Was hoping for a full game release. This is a major fail, despite how good this might be.

EDIT: The only reason I say "major fail" is because of what a full BB2 really could be. I never wanted one released this year, maybe not even next year. I want them to take time in building it. If this Tackle Alley game is an indication that they will continue pursuing a sequel, I'm all for it. I just hope they know what they're doing here.

SECOND EDIT: Oh, and if this isn't coming to PSN... smh.

Can't wait to try it out!

A full fledged Backbreaker 2 seems up in the air. Vengeance is just tackle alley. I like tackle alley but I would like a full game not just a mini game. Its hard out here for real football games.....wow

Re: Backbreaker Vengeance Coming to Xbox Live Arcade This Summer

Nope, already bought tackle alley...it came in my broken BackBreaker game. I don't care if you add land mines, there's nothing that could be done to improve that mini game enough to make it warrant a second purchase.

Re: Backbreaker Vengeance Coming to Xbox Live Arcade This Summer

I am having a "meh" attitude toward this if in fact it's just a souped up version of tackle ally. I have a both tackle allys on my iphone and the one that came with the console game. I am not interested in another, don't care if it is different , running around tackle dummies or whatever.

What I am interested in is an improved version of the main console football game. Until that comes around I'll pass.

BB rules, bring it on baby!

Re: Backbreaker Vengeance Coming to Xbox Live Arcade This Summer

Hopefully this will be a stepping stone to BB2. BB was the first innovation the football genre has seen in YEARS. EA has grown completely stale with their fan boy fan base that buys the same game year after year. EA should have stopped using MoCap years ago if they actually gave a crap about their audience.

Re: Backbreaker Vengeance Coming to Xbox Live Arcade This Summer

I don't think going the full release route is smart for them right now. Too many expect the game to be fully fleshed out when they're working from a position of disadvantage. Imo better to try to build a more focused/narrow base, and expand if possible
