Backbreaker Vengeance™, the next chapter in the genre-changing
Backbreaker franchise, will be available on Xbox®LIVE Arcade for

Backbreaker Vengeance is the perfect summer game and a great

instantly gratifying fun of Tackle Alley with new modes and

original Backbreaker Football console game and combines it with

create a whole new one-of-a-kind sports experience for digital
download on Xbox LIVE Arcade for Xbox 360. Powered by the
groundbreaking Euphoria Engine, Backbreaker Vengeance, features
hard-hitting tackles that are unique every time, and bound to
have players wanting just one more go.

Backbreaker as a franchise has garnered over 5 million fans
across the world, a testament to its proudly accessible approach
to the football genre.
