2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't seem finished, September 16, 2001

This review is from: NFL Blitz 2002 (Video Game)

I got this game over Advance Wars because i liked Blitz for the N64. Big mistake.
First of all, this game has no backround music, which drains some life out of it. However, the anouncer's voice is nicely generated, which is a plus.
On the graphics side, they are good, but they are not the best the GBA can do, and it looks like midway hurried to finish them.
This game also has a number of bugs. For example, somtimes when you tackile the opposing team, they stop, but it still shows them running.
To add to the bad list, the framerate is VERY choppy, which also brings down the score.
The good thing about this game? There are LOADS of options. Each teams has its own unique playbook and jersey color. You can reverse plays and move the camera in live action, and snap the ball even after 30 sec. However, there is no multiplayer, which also hurts.
Those who want the classic bone-crunching hit gameplay of Blitz won't find it here. This is more like Madden for PSX.
All in all, im returning this right away. If they spent another month on it, it would have been at least woth a four.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blitz-ing fUn!! 2002 style!!, September 18, 2001

This game rocks. I don't understand what all the hype is about this game being so terrible. I am a real hardcore gamer. This game is awesome. It follows in the style of NFL Blitz, NFL Blitz 2000, and NFL Blitz 2001. Although there is no background music or multiplayer, it has great graphics and gameplay. I love this game.

The game has a 3 modes: Exhibiton, Season and Mini Games.

The Exhibition mode, like in the other games allows you to play as any of your favorite teams, and against any team of your choice or you can just let the computer pick your opponent. Also there is the codes that you press in before the game that boost your gameplay up (unlimited turbo, night game, ect.).

Season Mode, as with any other sports game, takes you through the real season, on your way to the championship game. You can be any team.

Mini Games fetures 4 sections: Rules, Playbook, Practice, and Trivia. Rules gives you tips and hints to improve your game. Playbook gives you a look at all the plays that each team has. Practice features 2 modes: Uprights, which gives you feild goal practice, and 4th-N-Goal, which is a way practice all your favorite plays, in a 50 yard line, forth and goal situation (I really like this mode). Trivia is a game that test you NFL knowledge in a series of 4 rounds with 3 questions.

This game features 3 difficulty levels, easy medium and hard. You can have three time setting: 1, 2, or 3 minutes a quarter. You can also set if you want the time to elapse NORMAL or FAST speeds.

One bad thing is that the AI isn't very smart, and as Bill Cosby said, they have "brain damage"...

Over all, this game is awesome. It isn't the best, but is very good. If you want no rules great football fun, buy this game.
a great 4 star. maybe 4.4 star.

1.0 out of 5 stars Last GB football game I EVER buy, November 11, 2001

MADDEN 2000 for GBC = [no fun] big time

NFL Blitz for GBA = see above

It seems like decent football games are impossible to produce for Gameboy. The size of the screen & controls combined with the game's slowness make it very difficult to generate any real excitement. Sure, its a handheld game, but if they can't at least do a decent job, make a different game.
