    Combining great graphics, humorous concepts, vast amounts of game modes, and its shares of improvements on the 2002 version, NFL Blitz 2003 managed to satisfy my every need for the fall football season.

    Playing single player is good, but getting in on the action with a group of friends really makes it great.

    It plays a good game of Blitz, but a lack of gameplay modes, average graphics for the console, and few appreciable improvements over last year's game make it hard to recommend to anyone but the most ardent fan.

    The problem here is Blitz is a lot like Jerry Springer: if you’ve seen one episode, you’ve seen them all. This year’s edition does little to dispel that theory, since it comes with only a handful of new features, none of which include online play.

    I love the gameplay. But there are some simple annoyances to drag the game down a bit. The play picking menu is poorly designed. There are tips that pop up on screen at the start of the game that are just plain annoying - especially if you've played the game lots and don't need any tips. I really think it could have used some mini games and bonus multiplayer distractions. It'd be nice if in following years they included an easier way to enter codes (for big head mode etc) too. As it is ya have to punch in codes on the fly during the loading screen. Overall, I like this game better than blitz pro. Even if it is pretty bare bones.… Collapse

    This is the best Blitz yet. It's only mildly improved over 2002 though. So if you don't have 2002 and are a Blitz fan, then you can't go wrong here. It's also a nice place to start if you've never played Blitz before. It's a great game, but it's difficult to justify a purchase if you've got 2002 already.… Expand

    The game is well done overall, although, there is a serious lack of game modes goving it short longevity.
