NFL Blitz 2000

"This is just like NFL Blitz the original. But it's still fun."

When I heard NFL Blitz 200 was coming to Dreamcast I was very excited. Then I saw previews of NFL 2K and decided not to buy it. I got it for my birthday though and played it before Soul Calibur. The graphics were a lot nicer, there were more plays, but it was pretty much like the original blitz. I enjoyed playing it and I still do. It's kind of hard to play it when you have NFL 2K though.

Gameplay: 9/10 - Hard hitting football action with no penalties. This is fun with a lot of friends. One player mode is a bit boring if you keep on playing it but if you have friends over or if you have brothers this game will never get old. It's good to have if you are tired of NFL 2K.

Graphics - 7/10 - This game does not show what Dreamcast can do. The graphics are a little nicer than the PSX version but they aren't close to NFL 2K's. At least the guys look a lot nicer than they did in the original Blitz.

Sound - 10/10 - The announcers are great. They have a lot of funny things to say. The backround music goes nicely with the game. A great game to have. You should never play this game without the sound on.

Replay Value - 9/10 - This game will never get old. The one player mode might get boring after you play the season mode of it. Multiplayer mode will never get old though. You can play with three other people so it's a great party game. This game will not stay off your shelf until the next blitz comes out.

Overall - 8/10 - A quality game to have if you own Dreamcast. It is worth the $50.00 for sure. If you don't want to dish out the 50 bucks then I highly suggest you rent this game if you have friends over. A great game overall.
