Backbreaker: Vengeance is Official; Releasing Only on Xbox 360

Backbreaker: Vengeance, a variant on the original Backbreaker’s wildly popular ā€œTackle Alleyā€ mode, will be released for the Xbox 360 over Xbox Live this year by NaturalMotion and 505 Games. It’s exclusive to the 360.

Panned at release, then shored up with a huge patch three months later, Backbreaker as a full football title fell short of many expectations but still acquired a diehard fanbase. Tackle Alley, which was a minigame available in the retail title – later on iOS devices – was a different story. In it, a runner navigates increasingly difficult obstacle courses and avoids AI defenders on the way to the end zone.

In December, Backbreaker 2: Vengeance hit the iPhone, adding in a mode where you play the defender trying to bring down the runner. This teaser video shows a few features I didn’t see in Vengeance’s mobile version (sliding, the blocking dummies, teammates assisting you). But whatever goes in the final release, it will be on Xbox 360 only.
