Review by General Eric

"A great game and bargin!"

Hi, I'm General Eric, I have a small game collection, which is 9 games, and I get a game every 2 1/2 months, so why do you ask I have such a small game collection? Because, I get most of my games as gifts, I rent a lot and go to Funco Land every time I get about 40.00$ bucks, I got this game with Star Wars Rouge Squadron, Star Wars was 25.00$ bucks, as I was going to leave I saw in thei in-store ad paper a 5 dollar game, intrested I looked at the name, NFL QB Club 98, I didn't care if it was bad, I just wanted another game to add to my collection that I could trade. Buying that 5 dollar game was a geat bargin and I got a great game. Read on for more info about this really great game that's a bargin.

This is your basic football game, you know what a football game is, the Quarterback series is some new compition to the long going Madden series, it competes with Madden 64 which I have not played but watched people play a couple of times, QB CLub 98 is way better then Madden 64 because of somee things, but the main drawback to Madden 64 is that there isn't the offical teams, which means that there's the players names, but the teams are only refered to as Geen Bay instead of Packers. This game in my opion is better then Madden 64.

Graphics 9/10
The graphics are great, the players move greatly and everything seems real, the crisp and fresh, theirs no slow down what so ever and the players moving is amazing, I liked watching the instant replays from all sorts of angles when good or funny plays happen because the graphics are so good, this has very great graphics so you won't be disappointed, the menu's look good also.

Gameplay 10/10
This is a very great football game, you can pick from all the current teams, differrent year AFC and NFC, different year great teams, and some teams you make, this football game has many options, like what the weather is, the difficulty, how fast the clock is, and others, the game itself is excellent, you can be the quarterback yourself or let the computer be it while you a reciever of guard, and you can let your computer kick the ball, and there's so many options like NFL play, Quick play, passcodes, create-a player, create a team, trade players and more, and all the stuff is super fun.

Sound/Music 8/10
The sound is fun, the punts getting kicked, the grunts, the passes, the grunts, the cathes and last but not least the grunts, the sound is geat but there should be moe sounds, the annoucer is also great.
THe music only plays though during the menu's so you won't be hearing it during gameplay at all, but music isn't important during a football game.

Rent or Buy- Buy
Why rent it when you can buy it at Funco land for the same price, even if you don't like it you can still trade it to frends.

End notes
This game is a really great football game so buy it, it's cheap! This is General Eric signing off.
