Here you make up your team and then try to take them to backyard baseball glory. No matter if you are pitching or batting, the gameplay is nice and tight and you have plenty of different moves that you can do so you can play the game just the way you want. This is the perfect blend of realistic baseball action and arcade fun and as a result, it is very addictive. Backyard Baseball 2003 actually plays a really great game of baseball.

While it has a cutesy kind of art style and a look like it is a game for kids. That along with other late 90s early 00s kids shows like All Grown Up. Speaking of recess that is what the graphics actually remind me of, Recess the TV show. However, there is so much charm here and I do think that things look that little bit sharper and the kids look awesome and just like the kids you would play with at recess when you were at school. I know that you could easily make the argument that Backyard Baseball 2003 does not look a whole lot different from the previous game and that is fair. One of my favorite aspects of the series is the presentation.
