NFL Blitz 2001

""I'll send you back to your mother in a box!""

-Intro-
I love this game! This is the first football game I have ever played, and I love it! I've had it for a couple years, and I'm still playing it. How could you not love this game??

-Graphics-
10/10
The football players look so real. Well, sort of. The players in this game look like sumo wrestlers. So... ok, maybe they don't look EXACTLY like real players. The audience is flat, but WHO CARES!! This is football! The tackles they make look so awesome. After they sack, a bunch of times, they get on fire, and that's when the real fun begins.

-Sound-
10/10
These guys are hilarious. The lines they make after tackling someone. My favorite one is: ''I'll send you back to your mother in a box!'' The announcers pretty much say the same three things, over and over again. When the players get tackled, you hear about twenty groans. It's so funny. The music is awesome. It sort of sounds like disco music, a little bit. But still cool!

-Gameplay-
10/10
I have so much fun playing. You can catch the longest passes, sack somebody up to 40 yards, and dance on the way to the endzone, while carrying the ball. These guys throw the ball very far, and still catch it, while leaping. I know that doesn't happen in real football a lot, but you got to love it in the game. After sacking a guy, tons of times, you get on fire. When on fire, you can run with the ball, while two guys are hanging on you. You can even make more sacks. After a play is over, I just love to jump and smash the guy on the ground, or just tackle for no reason. The best thing about this game, is that you can create your own plays. I have made some of the weirdest plays, and still do good.

-Replay Value-
10/10
I haven't played this game in a long time. But I was bored one day, and I started playing it. Once again, I couldn't let it go. I don't know why I ever stopped. Playing is so much fun. I could play this game, non-stop. Except for food, water, and the occasional nap. I never knew football was this fun.

RENT or BUY??
Buy it!! I cannot stress saying that enough! You will have so much fun. It's also great for parties. Making your own plays, sacking a bunch of times, completing very long passes, etc. This game has it all!! FOOTBALL RULES!
