Blitz Has Seen Better Days

I remember back in the day the orignal NFL Blitz that game was awesome on the playstation. The Sad part is that game is a lil bit better than Blitz:The League. Its Not THAT bad a game don't get me wrong it just tarnishes the old game we all know and love. It doesn't have any REAL teams you come up with your own along with deveoping your team to a certain degree by picking a veteran and a rookie. The graphics are just about the same as the Xbox version and the gameplay is lacking with no late hits like in the old version. Another thing i didnt really like was the TREMENDOUS amount of drugs and steroids in a sports game. I thought it was funny but i think nowadays with all the steroid scandles in sports from wrestling(Chris Benoit) To baseball(Barry Bonds) its not a good image to give to a young generation that tends to purchase this game. In other words if your wantin this game to get that old "BLITZ" feel you should just rent it trust me.

Good game for the 360

This was a good game for the 360 it had a long and good story line and the controls were very easy to remeber. If you liked all the nfl blitz games then i recommend this game for you.

Revolutionary Game

I have never played a game like this one. From illegal drugs to hookers, this game has all the good mature stuff. I was bored of the Madden junk, so I thought I'd try this. First thing's first: the gameplay. The gameplay seems a little half-baked, but pretty entertaining. If you are the type of person who sees comedy as fun, the gameplay is just for you. It has very funny lyrics in between plays, and if you look close enough you'll see hysterical things in the background theme too. After you've played a good 3 games though, this gets annoying, as you'll find yourself pressing Y before and after every play to shut them up. The AI is very weak, you don't need a strategy to find the flaws. On defense it's pressing turbo and Left-Trigger+A using a LB for a Dirty-hit sack, on offense it's doing a streak to any WR of choice and it is complete 80% of the time. Mutiplayer is the only real challenge, and that is very fun. What's more, there is Clash mode, in which you Matrix time while you go at normal pace, and run 10 yards ahead of your opponents before you're out of it usually. Once you get seven Icons, you can do a trademark move in slow motion, and really break off a huge play. On defense, you can do dirty-hits, by pressing left-trigger and tackle. This enables you to wear out, and sometimes badly injure your opponents. Yes there are injuries, but there's a twist. You have the option to juice a player if the injury is not severe, which means sticking a shot of drugs in the behind of the injured player. Story mode is the same as any nowadays; You recreate a devasted team and turn the blah blah blah. You pick a Head Coach, Defensive and Offensive Coordinator, a doctor, a veteran player on defense, and a rookie draft pick on offense for your franchise. You need to know a few things: there are three divisions, you start out at three working your way up to one, You can train your players, and you can also buy performance-enhancing drugs. It is very entertaining to hear, but it's mostly for show I think, because they're too expensive for how much they actually do. Instead, you also can use money to buy equipment to enhance attributes, and training stages, to boost results of training. One cool feature is battling story mode teams online after you're done with story mode. The graphics are arcadish. They add to the feel but subtract to the potential. It's like, look at all those graphics they aren't using, those would be some pretty sweet pictures if they did use them. The sound is bad at the menu, but good in the game. The Wannabe Gangsta rap tunes mixed with the yelly hard on the ears so-called "music" is something you truly do not wanna try at home. In the game though, they say some pretty funny stuff, and you can hear the hits a mile away. Although Blitz:The League is different, it masters that fun arcade feel, and can have ample playing time. You'll find yourself sitting hours on end playing this game, stupid as the story mode may sound. If you are tired of Madden and it's problems, this is a good stop.

    Maybe your first impulse is to throw the red flag on this call, but since there are no red flags in pro football's evil twin: the legacy of Blitz continues. Blitz: The League brutalizes and trash talks its way into the next generation with determination and don't-give-a-crap attitude that is almost admirable.
