5.0 out of 5 stars Once again, Blitz series provides a great arcadic alternative to Madden, November 18, 2008

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Blitz: The League II (Video Game)

The Good:

* Compelling Storyline
* Do stuff that you cannot do in other football games(drugs, bet on games, date, sponsors, cause intentional injuries, etc...)
* Frank Caliendo (as John Madden) play-by-play is nothing short of hilarious
* Build your team, player from bottom all the way to the top
* Solid Soundtrack Exclusives

The Bad:

* Once again, possible "Rubber Band A.I."

The Bottom Line:

Looking for a politically-incorrect alternative to Madden series? Look no further than this one. A new play-by-play of Frank Caliendo as John Madden is worth the money alone. There are so many funny lines, it will keep you laughing for the whole game. A new feature in this sequel is that you can be selective when injuring your opponent, as you get to decide which body part you want to injure seconds before the collision. If somebody injures you, you now have the option of taking care of injury right on a field with mini-games: trying to align a syringe while the ailing players moving and shaking and even a mini-game where you have to put the bones back into the sockets. Other interesting storyline decisions that you would have to make will be dating your sponsors. Do you want to date one girl or date other girls and use their sponsorship to your advantage? Once again, there will be many Easter eggs to hunt and pick-up on, as Minnesota franchise goes on a wild ship cruise and the New England team gets accused of cheating. Lawrence Taylor comes back as a major character, while Bill Romanowski doesn't. The computer seems to play much better when falling behind, which could suggest that just like last game, they are utilizing the "Rubberband AI." however, If you are a football fan and a fan of Frank Caliendo, this is a must get! Due to the nature of this game, it should only be played by mature audience.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for everyone, November 18, 2009

This review is from: Blitz: The League II (Video Game)

I loved the first Blitz game. It was football the way it's supposed to be played. Even without NFL teams or players, Blitz provided the hard-hitting action needed in football. Broken necks, concussions, and fractured tibias (coupled with a doctor's view video of the injury) made it fun. It became a competition of how mayn opponents can I hurt, and how long can I keep them out for?

Blitz 2 takes a lot of good strides, but misses on key notes. Here's a list of Pros and Cons:

PROS
Hard-hits and lots of injuries
Good, in-depth career mode
Lots of creation ability on logo, team name, uniform colors and style, etc.
Offensive Coordinator's comments are profane and funny, but run their course quickly
Addition of "special" commentator Mohn Jadden is a riot!

CONS
Not enough to unlock that I care about (i.e. four new game modes, but 20 behind the scenes videos)
Injury cut scenes can't be skipped, even when it's not your team
Mini game for injury impact detracts from game, slows down gameplay, and gets really annoying really quickly
Injury remedy mini games get annoying after a few games
Loading takes a while, even for exhibition games

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Last, October 16, 2008

This review is from: Blitz: The League II (Video Game)

I have always been a fan of the Blitz series. I never liked sports games very much, but this is something different. Who doesn't like injuring the other teams players. Blitz the League II is far better and more versatile than the original Blitz the League. The injury system is more graphic and you actually have to participate in helping the injury recover quickly with either giving a shot or resetting the bone.
They also have a player creation system in campaign mode that is developed like a press interview which is really cool too. On a scale of 1 - 10 I'd give the first Blitz the League a 5 and this one an 8. If you're a fan of the Blitz series, this one won't disappoint.
