Product Description

Platform: PlayStation2

Amazon.com Product Description

NFL Blitz 2002 has been completely reinvented by the original creators of the NFL Blitz arcade game to take advantage of the powerful PlayStation2 platform. All of the 3-D player models, NFL stadiums, and over-the-top animations have been re-created, along with the team-specific plays and intense sound effects.

The new impact player option allows the gamer to edit the route or assignment in any play in the team's playbook. There's an all-new running game AI, and more than 1,500 brand-new catches, sticks, and hits, including some animations that were motion-captured using professional stuntmen swinging from rigging wires. Real-player stats, abilities, attributes, and attitudes add detailed realism to the game. The enhanced Create-a-Player mode allows the user to not only select the player's height, weight, and position, but also the uniform, face, head size and type, size of pads, facemask, and more. The game features enormous 3-D player models, with bulging muscles and real-player faces.

The over-the-top gameplay features players leaping, soaring, diving for passes, stiff-arming, the bulldozing and railroading of would-be defenders, and precision passing. Intuitive, fast-action, extreme-style controls allow for quick-response gameplay. The game is equipped with the original NFL Blitz point-'n'-pass system and icon passing. Dynamic camera angles capture all of the deep crossing routes and monster sticks by the linebackers.

5.0 out of 5 stars classic NFL game with a bit of SPICE, March 11, 2002

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

in MY opinion...this is PS2's breakthrough football game, awesome gameplay, terrific graphics engine, and comedic commentary, not exactly SIMULATION but eight on eight is close enough, especially when u get a football game with NO PENALTIES!i mean do u know any other football game that u can literally have the team catch on fire? hmmm...yeah, that's what i thought. and traditional simulation football games are gettin kinda old don't ya think?...it's time to have some REAL helmet poppin, sack causin, late hittin, player firin and trash talkin FUN! and even if you're not a fan of the NFL BLITZ series, you WILL love it, guaranteed....two thumbs up and a bag of Doritos!

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

For anyone who knows the blitz games, this one looks top notch. The gameplay is smooth, the graphics are great looking and of course the bottom line is, its a Blitz game, so the fun level is just as good as ever. However, the power up codes have their flaws...specifically the no first downs, infinate turbo, and no interceptions codes for some reason don't work on the games shipped and sold by the retailer, and Midway is currently looking into fixing the problem somehow. It's still a great looking game, and a fun one, but I recommend waiting a few months where perhaps titles on the shelf then would have the glitch fixed.

This game is pretty much just like the other NFL Blitz games, but this game has 100% more better graphics.
