  1. While the graphics work nicely, the in-game elements are not what one would expect from a GBA title...This is a very good game.
  2. A landmark title with gameplay better than ever before and great play mechanics that defy portable gaming.
  3. Playing the trivia games was about as fun as Bliz got. [Dec 2001, p.118]
  4. Equal parts aggravation and disappointment.
  5. There's so much more wrong with the game (especially the lack of multi-player, and password save system – would a battery have cost that much?) that even the great sound and mediocre game play are swallowed up by this product.
  6. Ostensibly a fast-paced, “adrenaline-style” rendition of football, the Game Boy Advance version of Blitz is a slow, bare-bones pigskin game that bears little resemblance to its souped-up arcade inspiration.
  7. One thing is fact: NFL Blitz 2002 for the GBA is a stinker.
  8. 25
    Playable, but it's just so darn sloppy and rushed that it's a massive let-down for myself and anyone else waiting for the day when Midway would actually produce a quality, handheld version of their awesome football franchise.
