I just picked up Backyard Baseball 2005 for the PC and I must say, it's quite a cool game! All the locations you can play in are quite cool looking and varied, and the pros as kids are hilarious! I love me some Ichiro! I'm about halfway through my first season and I can't stop playing it. Check it out!
Excellent

Excellent game... for the guy who said that this game doesn't have a savegame option.. yes, you're right. It doesn't have the option, because the game saves automatically.
GREAT GAME!!

This is a great really great game. We can both play it and we are 6 years apart. We both love it, too! We like the Power-ups.The unlockable players and staduims are good. The 3D is a big improvement and so are the multiple angles. It looks a little like a movie. The Backyard Kids are improved and so are the player skills. They spoofed on the cover. A-Rod doesnt look a thing like he does on the cover. Also, making players isn't as good because they only give 20 skill points in single games and 15 in seasons. Read the book before you play!

The 3-d graphics although an improvement, are hardly worth the effort. The gameplay is hard and frustrating, the option to save is gone and so you have to finish the 2 hour marathon in one sitting, the characters are bland and "robotic" as one fellow reviewer had the good sense to say. Backyard Baseball 2005 is a far worse than the prevous years.
Best Backyard Baseball Game Ever!

She just wants to keep playing and playing. The fun part is that I want to play the game with her as it is fun for all ages. The power ups are just plain amusing as you can throw a rainbow pitch one moment or while hitting use a lightning bat. If you want an ideal game for you and your child...get this game.
great fun

We have backyard baseball 2003 and 2005. 2005 is by and large more fun than 2003.The 3-d graphics,and more unusual fields,make this alot more fun. My 6 year old has not grown tired of this version even after 8 months.The harder the levels of play make it so you don't get too bored. highly reccomend this for the young baseball fan.
Fantastic
