  • Summary: A brutal team sport unfolding in a parallel fantasy world based on Warhammer and American football, Blood Bowl invites gamers to form a team of players from races including: Orcs, Elves, Humans, Dwarfs and many other fantasy creatures, and launch themselves into battle in the bloodiest of arenas. This strategy sports game combines a fine balance of tactics and bone crunching action! The game offers two game modes. The first, which is fully real time, offers spectacular gameplay with intense battles between blocking linemen and daring displays of agility of players leaping and dodging through opponents tackle zones, while powerful spells and dirty trick special plays are unleashed across the field. All this creates a highly charged atmosphere. Of course, since it is sometimes difficult to keep an eye on the entire field at once, the game's interface offers different tactical and strategic setups, while the AI is responsible for managing the players on the field. The second game mode, an actual turn-based game, is a treat for players of the original board game because it is an exact replica of Games Workshop's tabletop masterpiece. The original rules have been faithfully reproduced, and it contains all of the devices, strategies, play and rhythm of the original game. [Focus Home Interactive]… Expand

    If you're already a Blood Bowl vet, the Blitz mode makes this version worth your time. But even though I find satisfaction in pulling off even the simplest of the game's maneuvers, setting up all of its dominos is just too exacting for my taste.

    If you're considering making an investment in a massive time sink of a game, then Blood Bowl could be your answer. It is definitely a game for the reserved thinking man - there is no way it can be beaten with simple button-mashing.

    All in all, there are better sports games and better fantasy games out there, and the fact that there aren't many "fantasy-sports" games is probably all that will save Blood Bowl from being completely overlooked.

    Great if you've played the board game, IMO. Otherwise I'd suggest to try before you buy. Just to counter an earlier reviewer, Dice roll requirements are in fact displayed in the bottom left hand corner.… Expand

    Game is not as described on almost all websites (no online leagues). I returned it for a full refund with the help of my local trading standards officer. Steer clear of this game.… Expand
