  1. A must-buy for anyone who enjoyed last year's game -- and also anyone looking for an all-around fun game with the power to turn friends into enemies.
  2. Compared to the conservative Madden franchise, "Blitz 2000" is the flamboyant "Neon Deion Sanders of football games, and a hell of a lot of fun.
  3. "NFL Blitz 2000" still has a firm lock on the arcade football business.
  4. 100
    With all of these super cool additions, not to mention the fun-as-Swiss-cheese-in-a-can four player mode, this is the best "Blitz" so far.
  5. 92
    The wealth of new features like the extra stadiums, wind effects and play editor still play second banana to the skull crushing gameplay that we loved in last year's game.
  6. An incredible sports game, adding up to one of the best (if not the best) the sports genre has ever seen.
  7. This new edition could have been so much more (and some of its features should have been in the original).

    Blitz is an excellent multiplayer game. It brings out your competive side and you have fun at the same time.

    This is a pretty awesome game overall. I would like to have a create-a-team, or create-a-player option, but this is still a great game. If you don't want realism and fancy no-holds, no-rules chaos that which is referred to as football in this game, you need to check it out. Full Review »

    It's the best game I ever played.
