This is a first generation College Football game for the Playstation 1. The game features colorful 2D sprite-based players inside a 3D stadium. Each stadium has its own insignias and logos.

There is a play-by-play guy calling out the action along with consistent crowd noise. The game also features some real college fight songs(there is an option to turn off the announcing and music).

Gamebreaker features Exhibition, Tournament Season, and Bowl Season. There are 10 Division 1-A Conferences. You can mess around with the usual options such as injuries, weather, penalties, etc.

Each team has a large assortment of offensive and defensive plays. Some plays tend to be more consistently useful than others. Control during running and passing plays are pretty solid.

But successfully completing a pass can be tough as the defense is constantly on you. Pulling off a good punt can be difficult as the kicking meter goes a bit too quick resulting in a shorter punt.

Overall I really like this game as it features a large assortment of NCAA teams and a nice amount of options to tweak the game. The gameplay is difficult but the controls are solid.

I also like the 2D sprite-based player graphics(this is the only 2D college football game on the PS1). This game can be had for pretty cheap on the used market too. A nice choice for an old-school NCAA College Football game.

It's super hard to pass in this game, or maybe there's some trick mentioned in the game manual. I got this from a friend, but without the manual =(. As it is, I can occassionally pass, but not very often.

The choice of plays seems alright, but execution seems...less than what I expected when I chose the play. Not just because of an inability to pass.

If I figure out the trick to passing, I'm sure this would be a good game. If I ever do, I promise to update this review.

This is a good college game for the 1997 season, but it is not as good as Gameday '97. It is better than last year's launch title, and has great gameplay. It is fast and looks good, so buy this if you are looking for a good game.

I bought this Game when it first came out and I don't know why there dissing it It's Not all the way 3-d but for that era it was a Pretty good college football game I had so Much fun with it I played my Favorite Team Fresno state and The wishbone is the best play you have Pitch back and option play there all here The Players Run funny but it's Had a Good presentation Like all the Stadiums Look Lifelike and The sound it On the level it should be they got all 111 Teams or so and the announcer Has a good voice there is no play by play but He does tell you what down it is and important things like that If you want a Old school game get this For your PS
