Yes

This is the best game from retro bowl yet. Now. Retro bowl 25 and 26 was great. But 27 has better graphics better quality but still has that retro feel to the game. Honestly I was serving my my church with kids and I was playing this game when they were watching there bible story video. That is why this game gets a 5 star.
