This is abstract football at it's best. Imagine taking a third grade game of touch football and swapping out the players with inmates from the violent crimes ward at Joliet. Crushing hits and intense stylings make this game seem and play like something it isn't, but it's true to it's arcade counterpart. If you prefer a more realistic sports sim, go with NFL 2K, but if you like stylized arcade-isms, go BLITZ!

well, if you do, then this is the game for you. no rules, no refs, just plain football, like you used to do at the park! you'll laugh your b**t off when you see a defender flying across the air to clothes-line the ball carrier, or maybe even kick him to the curb, and once the play is done, everyone else gets to pound on him as well! youll see it like it should be played, animal style! this is one of the best games out right now. i would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys just plain madness! this game is not for the weak,and its not for the politically correct! if youre (not) one of those...enjoy! blitz baby........blitz!

the first day i got it, my roommate and i stayed up til 4 a.m. playing this FUN game! (and we're not even in college anymore.) this game is easy to pick up and start playing, and it is easy to get hooked too.

video games are designed for fun, not reality. this game is an awesome show of fierce, no holds barred, exciting chaos! this is what people really want to see in the NFL. this will be the closest thing to taking someone out, and not feeling bad one bit about it! buy this game, youll see what im saying. this game is the bomb!

If you like Arena Football and love fast paced, thumb twitching, sweaty palm action then this game is for you. If you're looking for REAL football go for NFL 2K1. THE GOOD NEWS. This is really a game about scoring massive amounts of points, pounding the crud out of NFL players that you hate in real life, and having ARCADE fun. The tackles are right out of the WWE, the game speed is that of NBA JAM, and the thrill of winning is surpassed by none. THE BAD NEWS. The big hits get boring, you get used to the game speed as you keep playing, and winning flat out becomes way too easy. All in all, this game was fun for awhile (it lasted longer than some games), and the more I played it the less I said WOW! LOOK AT THAT! The only real replay value comes from inviting your friends to partake in the slugfest and then talking crap as the feel of the bone-breaking hits make you say WOW! again.

this game is pretty fun. The graphics are decent, the sound is also above average. This game is at its best when 4 human players play in a 4 player multiplayer game. Games are always high scoring when playing with your friends. This game is a great game if you always have people who will play with you. But when playing alone this game sucks. Sure smacking the computer is fun a while, but theres no one to smack talk. The novelty of hard hits wears off fast. Also the no pass inerference rule gets cheap. On easy mode, the computer gets whooped every time beacause they never pass interference, but on hard, the computer will use it on every play, making it frustrating, because it will be so freaking hard to cathc a pass. For the person with no friends this game may not be right for you. First of all this game has no season mode for 1 player. its just arcade mode. Secondly, there are no things to keep you busy like creat-a-player ( i believe there is create a play, but i would rather have more fun creating players ). so get this game if you have lots of friends or if there are always people to play with you. if you dont have friends or you are a only child, stick with NFL2k for all you solo gamers.

This game is amazing. dont let anyone say any different. If someone says this games bad then sucker punch the then drop kick them to the ground then throw yourself on top of them.

I can see how some folks would enjoy a pure arcade version with no reality whatsoever involved. Myself, I think I'd like something more realistic.

First downs are 30 yards, there are no penalties, there's no kickoff, and there is no realism involved as far as athletic ability of the players. For example, if you complete a pass from Young to Rice (remember, this is 2000!), and Rice has the open field, two defenders are actually able to catch up to Rice and tackle him. This is flat out ridiculous, even for an arcade game. Ditto Terrell Owens and Tim Brown, and I was able to stop other wideouts with linebackers just by squeezing the turbo button.

The emphasis is obviously on bone-crushing tackles, but after an hour of play, the only really enjoyable aspect of this is the ability to cheap-shot the offensive players long after the ball is whistled dead. The field-goal kicking system is particularly vexing, as it was apparently designed by a chimp with ADD, and requires eight espresso-mochacchinos in order to maintain the twitch focus required to accurately split the uprights.

Overall, I see this as a fun arcade game for younger kids not up to simulation-level gameplay, and guys/gals who just want to have fun beating each other's players up. Me, if I want to beat up some guy, I'll play Soul Calibur.

I think that this is one of the best football games I have ever played. It is fast paced, and a lot of fun. I usually don't like football games, but this one is awesome.

There's lotsa teams to choose from and there is a championship and a season that you can choose from to play, also many, many plays to choose from. This game ..... ROCKS! Better than NFL 2K, however -- When you try to make a field goal from really close, most of the time you will miss. Not The Computer though - he NEVER misses.
