NFL Blitz 2000

"A Great Football/Wrestling Combo!!!"

This is an awesome football game it is a mix of football and wrestling. It’s quite a fun game to play with friends. This game doesn’t have many plays but the ones they have are pretty good. I love this game it is so awesome. After a play you can body slam your opponent or something else crude and harsh. This game is kinda hard but once you get the hang of the controls and you know the computer weakness you could win. The control is very smooth and responsive. The sounds and music in it sound great and the music gets you pumped up and ready to play some football. The graphics look great and are pretty smooth. Although there may be some size difference in the game as the ball is huge. The game is extremely fun to play with friends but alone can be pretty boring.

GAMEPLAY **8**

This game has great game play once you learn all the moves to the game. It’s pretty easy to learn all the moves. The controls feel responsive and active. They don’t drag or sputter. It’s pretty easy to control your guy. When you go to jump the players will jump like 5 yards its amazing. While playing or selecting options controlling it is really simple and is easy. The Nintendo 64 controller works well with it and there’s enough buttons on the controller to control the game problem free. This game has awesome game play and that’s all I got to say!

SOUND / MUSIC **9**

In this game the players will make all kinds of remarks and there’s a lot of them too. Very funny ones too. The game sounds great and the music is well detailed as well as the sound. The music really pulls you into the game and keeps you there all the way through it. The player’s voices sound great. The developers did a great job on the sound and music.

GRAPHICS / LEVEL DESIGN **8**

The graphics are pretty good for the Nintendo 64. The players are well detailed as well as everything else this game has to offer. The teams are good looking as well as the stadiums. The guys are huge looking they look like monsters. The football even looks like it 5 feet long. There is some major size distortion but the game looks good and everything still looks great. The stadiums look great and are really neat to look at. The players look great and all of the teams logos are really detailed and look just like real life although they don’t play like this in real life.

REPLAYABILITY **8**

The game is fun to play with a friend. It may not be fun for long though. It’s great when you play with a friend that’s the only thing that’s fun about this game. Playing a football and wrestling game is pretty fun but playing is yourself can sometimes get really boring. If you have friends this is a really good game for you and them. Just don’t expect them to like you beating them all the time.

CHALLENGE **HIGH**

The game is pretty hard and with their being no rules in it at all it’s even harder. You can do pretty much anything to your opponents or your players including late hits. The game is pretty hard and should challenge you for some time to come.

BUY OR RENT

If you want a great football/wrestling game you will want this. If you are wanting a realistic football game get NFL 2K/1 for the Dreamcast it’s the most realistic you can get. It deserves the 8 but if may not be what everyone is looking for in a football game.
