Summary
Game Description
Blitz: The League II, sequel to Blitz: The League (formerly NFL Blitz), for Xbox 360 by Midway continues the franchise's legacy as an alternative to the watered-down, licensed competition. In addition to an all-new story mode penned by Peter Egan (ESPN's Playmakers), BTLII features include: Precision-Aim Tackles, player-controlled touchdown celebrations, an enhanced on-the-field Clash Mode, online multiplayer capabilities, expanded rosters with all-new personalities, and the return of a cornerstone of the Blitz franchise: late hits. Football legend Lawrence Taylor returns as the game's cover-athlete and star linebacker for the New York Nightmare, Quentin Sands, along with a star-studded supporting cast.

Worst game ever!
This game doesn't even deserve a full star.
My Rating = .001/10
I can't even believe that I forked up more than $0.99 to get this game.
I saw it on a commercial and remembered playing Blitz on the N64. Thinking it would be a good idea to get it for the action that I remember from the old Blitz game, I went and got it. I played the tutorial so I could get the hang of the game, but some of the tutorial stuff was just ridiculous. After getting annoyed of the tutorial, I tried playing quick play, and that's even worse. I even set the game up so that I was a 1st division team and the team I was facing was a 3rd division team. The opposing team is constantly able to use clash and very often are able to make you fumble the ball. If they are more than 1 yard away from you, you can't catch them, and even if your half a field away from the other team, they can still catch you in a matter of seconds, fumbling the ball out of your hands (most likely injuring your player too) and then doing a full field return for a touchdown. Also, if you are managing to keep up with the other team, I hate to bust your bubble, but most likely they will score touchdowns left and right within the last quarter. After playing the game for a half an hour, I got aggravated and had to leave the room because I was going to break the game. Stupidly enough, I came back for a second chance at redemption, and within a matter of minutes ended up just breaking the game. I figured that it's better to break the game than risk throwing my controller into my T.V.
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!

Meh Blitz
Blitz is always a fun time with friends, but this party dies out too fast. The injury closeups are f-ing awesome, and the Unleashed juiced moves are tight. Although, this game didn't live up to my expectations. I never thought I'd say this, but I'd rather play Madden. Doh!

Review:
Blitz: The League II (PS3)
Blitz: The League II reminds me of this season's Chicago Bears: it has a couple of key pieces and a game-plan in place but there are some obvious holes that keep it from rising to the top of the ranks. However, it is an interesting alternative to the realism heavy action of Madden.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Over the top and crazy, Blitz II is an interesting take on the sport of football, but with some glaring missteps, it fumbles on its way to the end zone. -
