  • Summary: Arena Football replicates the unique intensity and passion of the indoor gridiron, giving gamers a completely different football gaming experience. Staying authentic to AFL rules, Arena Football will feature 8-on-8 play, including six players who play both sides of the ball, and the ability to send players into and over the walls with each exciting play. Fast-paced and high-scoring offenses allow players to launch an all-out aerial assault using playbooks created by actual AFL coaches. The arena comes alive with fans, fireworks and a rock-concert atmosphere. For the first time ever in sports gaming, an in-game telemetry system will provide real-time information about opponents such as passing tendencies, scoring history and player health. Players can build an AFL powerhouse in Season mode and win their way to ArenaBowl or challenge the best players in the nation with head-to-head online play. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

    While it certainly lacks in the game mode department and the presentation can be a bit disappointing at times, the games plays great and does a great job of bringing us a good sense of what Arena football is all about.

    This franchise has legs and could be a welcome spring football fix for year's to come.

    This game's a lot more "Madden" with fewer guys playing in a converted hockey rink. [Mar 2006,p82]

    I am a HUGE arena football fan, so the rules of the game I was already aware of which most likely gave me an advantage to madden junkies. Once I got all the button functions down I was unstoppable. Having a hard time walking away from this game.… Expand

    A great game but no announcing, no deep franchise mode, and no mini camp or practice. But on the positive side I was very impressed with the graphics, gameplay, and that you can control any man on the field. Most of all I love ironman football!… Expand
