  • Summary: Blitz: The League II continues the franchise legacy as the ultimate alternative to the watered-down, licensed competition. In addition to an all-new story mode penned by Peter Egan (ESPN's Playmakers), Blitz: The League II features include: Precision-Aim Tackles, player-controlled touchdown celebrations, an enhanced on-the-field Clash Mode, online multiplayer capabilities, expanded rosters with all-new personalities, and the return of a cornerstone of the Blitz franchise...Late Hits! Football legend Lawrence Taylor returns as the game's cover-athlete and star linebacker for the New York Nightmare, Quentin Sands, along with a star-studded supporting cast. [Midway] Expand

  1. Blitz: The League II is not just another sports game! Midway combines action, fun and an ironic touch to bring pep in the genre. Maybe, fans of accurate tactics, rules and simulation will be a little bit disappointed, but other gamers will definitely be satisfied!
  2. If you are looking for an alternative to Madden, Blitz II: The League has enough punch to make it worth the purchase. It’s not going to replace the ultra high gloss of its competitors, but it is an original take on the dark side of sporting.
  3. Hardcore fans of simulation football should probably stay clear of Blitz: The League II unless they’re looking for a cool storyline. However, anybody else who is even moderately interested in football should take a liking to this Blitz game.
  4. Blitz: The League II disappoints on almost every level, leaving gamers praying to be tackled by Lawrence Taylor himself rather than being forced to play the game.

    The gaming is well ahead of any other sports games, with big hits and clashes. Injuries and slo-mo make the game more interesting and puts more control into the users hands. Expand

    Great graphics, gameplay and as original concept as an American football game could be. So far the only bad aspects of this game are that the playbooks are a little hard to see and the inability to change Franchises' (the story mode player you play as) physical traits. You'll be forced to play as a black dude. At least they made him light skinned so if your hispanic its not a big stretch and if your white maybe you can pretend you got a really great tan. Lots of unlockables (TD celebrations, game modes, etc) and trophies give it a little added depth. Expand
  4. I love the gameplay but the fake urban style and emphasis on being "edgy" was laughable. I have to give this a 7 simply because it isn't a sequel. It is the same thing as Blitz: The League with the same single player story and everything. Nothing has changed but a slight HD upgrade. Felt ripped off after finishing the first one years ago. Expand
