5.0 out of 5 stars Good, Bad and Better, January 11, 2009

By	acebill (Space Coast Florida) - See all my reviews

Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

Football like the in the old days before video games - for that reason its good. The game now uses batteries and can be played any where - also turns on/off and high/low by each user very easy (duel controls)
The game intends you to use a tiny little football with a flimsy little kicker/passer - this was broken in minutes
Game play gets good after try-outs mark your fastest runners with a pen - play game as touch football without passing there's lots of action when you limit the number of players (6 on 6)
Game is great because of the time not spent playing on the TV learning the different players capabilities and setting up the formations that are needed to score and winning the game (relates to real football)

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun and exciting but REALLY hard, December 30, 2008

By	Jamil Snead - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

I have never played on of these before, but I just bought one for my friend as a gift. It is actually pretty cool, and can be really fun and exciting.

I have 2 complaints:

1. Most of the players don't run straight. The set includes some bases that are supposed to allow you to adjust the turning of the player, but it doesn't really work at all. I ended up taking those off and just using the "straight" bases. Even so, most guys just run in a circle. Sometimes even a really tight circle, like one inch diameter. This is really annoying when it is your ball carrier. There may be a way to adjust the straight bases, but as far as I know there aren't instructions telling you how.

2. Passing is almost impossible. It's hard to explain how passing works, but essentially you are trying to catapult the tiny foam ball over to one of your tiny players, and the ball has to hit the player. One of the problems is that the ball needs to be wedged onto the "catapult" before you fling it, so it is hard to gage how much flicking it takes to release the ball, let alone pass it a certain distance. The game ends up being run-only.

I have only played this game for about an hour, though, so I'm sure it has a learning curve to it. Maybe passing is actually possible. Maybe you can fine tune the circling of the players. Regardless, the game can still have really exciting plays. Kicking works surprisingly well.

All in all, I can't say if I would recommend it. I'm not the best judge, because I haven't used it enough. But at the least I can say that it doesn't suck.

1.0 out of 5 stars waste of money, February 7, 2010

By	Mr. Reasonable (Tn) - See all my reviews

Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

The game is visually appealing and we were all excited to get it out of the box. Set up was easy. But game play was problematic. Really the only plays with a prayer of success were running plays. The idea that the quaterback(2 supplied- 1 broke instantly) could toss this tiny foam ball such that it would strike a teamate(=completion)is ridiculous. If it did occur, the chances that you could actually see this happen is even more ridiculous.
