  1. Althought from a technical point it's not the best Blood Bowl videogame, from the playable one is, hands down, the best portable version.
  2. A thoroughly unexciting experience. [Nov 2009, p.98]
  3. Not even the presentation of Blood Bowl, which is fairly good in the other versions of the game, can save the DS version from certain doom.
  4. One for the sin bin. [Dec 2009, p.71]
  5. The DS version also uses a 2D isometric view and to be honest isn't the most pleasing on the eye.

    1 is for bringing back fleeting happy memories of playing the boardgame 20 years ago. A dreadful user interface, poorly thought through isometric view which obscures squares on the board and invites errors, and the game breaking bugs referred to by others make this the worst and most disappointing ds game i have ever played.

    Riddled with game breaking bugs, inconsistent with the official LRB5, and no word from the publisher when they will re-release the game in a non-beta form; this title is best avoided like the plague. Full Review »

    This game should put shame on the company that made it. It is so full of bugs and glitches it should not have been released. It could have been good, tiny screen and tiny sprites wouldn't be so bad, if it would at least play right. A concrete example: in the board game interceptions are hard, usually needing a '6' well in the DS game it's automatic, even trolls intercept every time. Full Review »
