Product Description

Platform: Game Boy Color

Editorial Review

Thirty yards is still 30 yards, no matter how small the viewing screen. Just like its big brothers on the Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64, NFL Blitz 2000 for the Game Boy Color charges you that same amount of ground for a first down.

This NFL Blitz 2000 is the portable way to play the fiercest, most brutal football game around. Illegal hits and impossible moves are the order of the day as players brawl their way to the end zones in this fun-filled fantasy football game.

Many improvements have been made since the series first made its Game Boy debut. Football players are now easier to see against the nearly neon green playing field. Team colors are realistically represented in this update, too.

Blitz features full NFL licensing, so all of your favorite big-time players are present. Quarterbacks can choose from a library of 18 plays, while the defense can select from nine standard sets. Players can take part in either the single-game arcade mode or the full season mode. Play against the CPU, or use a link cable to go head-to-head with another person in a bone-crunching, no-holds-barred, no-move-is-illegal pigskin melee. --Bill Hutchens

Pros:

• Horizontal view lets players see more of the field
• Cool mini movies at breaks in play
• Game Boy Printer prints out stats

Cons:

• Should have been a rumble pack game
• Unrealistic play may turn off some players

Product Description

NFL BLITZ 2000 brings fast-paced, no-holds-barred football action to the field. Rather than offering a standard football game, NFL BLITZ 2000 changes the rules a little. The game is played seven-on-seven, and it takes 30-yards to get a first down. But probably the most important rule change is that there are no penalties. When you start the game, you have the choice of playing in the Arcade or Season mode. Arcade has you pick a team and try to defeat all of the other teams in the league, while in the Season mode, you take your team through the grueling NFL season in hopes of making the playoffs and winning the Super Bowl. No matter how you play the game, you will not miss a second of the action, thanks to three different camera angles. Try to keep your helmet on while playing NFL BLITZ 2000.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible in it's horribleness, January 9, 2001

"shredz" (Waverly, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: NFL Blitz (Game Cartridge)

This is quite simply the worst game I have ever seen for the Gameboy color platform. NFL Blitz is an excellent game for pretty much everything but the Gameboy. The colors are poorly done and the gameplay is just plain bad. Plays don't work properly, the game moves so fast that it's almost impossible to tell what's going on, and the views on the game don't give you the classic football feel. Do not buy this game, I guarantee you will be disappointed.

This review is from: NFL Blitz (Game Cartridge)

blitz is a great game especially with the 3 different camera angles. top view where they move left to right. classic where movement is up and down and you see more of the field and coaches view where offense and defense are "X"'s and "O"'s. with all the teamsyou know and love but a great thing is there isnt one dominating team all teams vary. there are great plays to choose from. the only lacking part is there arent any bone crunching hits and the game moves very fast. it looks more like two hand tag football. if u love blitz this game is for u.
