  1. Anyone looking for a fun, arcade alternative to Madden should look no further, this is it. The gameplay is innovative and fun, the graphics are good for the most part, and the audio is brilliant. Now if you will excuse me, I'm off to break more bones.
  2. Rib-ticklingly good fun. Not just for fans of American Fistball. [Christmas 2008, p.85]
  3. If you are not obsessive about the Blitz and/or Street series, you probably won't get much out of this game. But those who are obsessive should give it a thorough testing.
  4. A terrible football game with some good ideas surrounding it, and a marked tendency to make me wish I wasn’t playing it. If you enjoy football games, stick to Madden; Blitz is not a serious competitor, unless you enjoy getting a bit squeamish.

  1. What started out as a serious football title before EA bought the rights to football is a fun and crazy game to pick up for anyone even if you dont like football. I really enjoyed this game alot. had alot of fun with it. The graphics are good for the year it was released. I didnt really like the story but it added a cherrr to what was already perfect in its own way. I'm hoping they will release another one. Expand

    This is a very solid game with solid mechanics, presentation, and surprisingly story. The sheer customization in this type of game is actual a pleasant surprise as well. The ability to pick from extremely different team icons, jerseys, and player models is great for those who love to mold your own team. It does tend to get repetitious over time but varying bonus matches and superstar players makes this game a fun one to pick up. Expand
  3. This game was designed very well and is a significant improvement over its predecessor. Unfortunately, you can tell that this was a very low budget operation. Expand

    Bloody awful. Less than imaginative gameplay coupled with subpar graphics and a tendancy to display totally unneccessary violence make for a terrible game. I rented this for 2 dollars (and got a week rental), and I played it for an hour and a half with a friend and we want our 2 dollars back. Expand
