It's not just the animation that makes Backbreaker look so sharp. The visual fidelity is impressive, unquestionably besting every other football game of this generation thus far. However, while the engine is able to render some spectacular lighting, and hi-poly character models, it has a very "clean" look, one that makes players look like plastic toys. While some may prefer a "gritty" look, I think the style gives Backbreaker a distinct aesthetic and looks even more impressive in motion.

It's early March, and If you are reading this post it's a safe bet that you are pretty hardcore about NCAA Football, so let's start things off with a few of the improvements we are adding that you the fans have been asking for. This is just the first taste of a long list of additions for this year's game, so before anyone gets up in arms about something not being in this year's game just remember, it's a long way until July.

We've been hearing about Natural Motion's Backbreaker since way back in 2007. It began without a publisher and rumbled around the gaming industry for some time, popping up at trade shows like E3 for demos with little else to satiate the inquiring mind. "What's taking the game so long?" I've read on some forums. "Why haven't we seen anything from Backbreaker lately?" I've heard from other gamers. Well, finally and at long last, Backbreaker has emerged under the 505 Games label and is set to hit retailers on May 18 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
