"This game is great. One of the best!!!"

A plain football game but still is very addicting to play. This football game is pure fun to play with or without friends. The graphics are pretty good looking and they have a nice touch to them. With 12 different teams to choose from and four different plays to choose from. All of the controls are simple and easy to use. The gameplay is good and works great with the d-pad. You have three modes to choose from and they are 1-player, 2-player, and coach mode. Everything is simple such as kicking or changing player/receiver. The game is very fun to play alone or with a friend. The sound and music in this game is pretty good although sometimes it may get real boring. This is a great football for a great series. All of the games in this series are very good and this one goes right on with it.

GAMEPLAY **9**

So simple and easy to use. To choose plays you use button combos that are simple such as d-pad left and press b button. Passing to a receiver or changing to a different receiver is very simple. They control of your guy is very easy to maintain and keep total control over. The only problem with the control is sometimes while moving your player and it’s not really that big of deal. The controller works great with this game and is very responsive. The control is tight and quick. The gameplay is very simple to use.

SOUND / MUSIC **7**

The usual on any football game you can hear the quarter back and every thing else. This is where the game didn’t do to well with few sounds besides the quarterbacks constantly say hut hut hut that never stops till the ball is spiked. The game lacks both music and sound but it doesn’t really make the game less enjoyable. The sounds in this game are very detailed but there's not many of them in this game. There's not really in music in this game but what there is sounds great and is very detailed.

GRAPHICS **9**

The usual for the NES not the best but for it they are pretty good but with only one problem. Sometimes it gets very hard to see your player he just kinda is invisible. The football field looks like one although nothing on the sidelines but black edges. When you throw or kick the ball it sometimes takes you through these little pictures almost like its in slow motion. The levels seem to be very detailed and look great. The only problems is the guys. They seem to flash on and off the screen.

REPLAYABILITY **8**

With three different modes it should keep you busy playing with your friend or the computer. The game is fun to play either way and will keep on entertaining you. The game is a great game all around and the replayability is pretty high and it will last you for quite some time with friends. If you play alone this game will probably get boring pretty quick. The game is fun to play but it can’t last forever.

CHALLENGE **8**

This game is very easy to play and is real simple. The only thing that challenges you in this game is when you get and interception. The computer just seems to get me every time. The game is very easy and the computer is very easy to beat. The game is fairly simple and provides no challenges at all.

BUY OR RENT

The game needs a little help but other than that this game is fun to play with friends. The game is an instant classic and should be in anyone’s gaming library whether they like football or not. The game is a great football game and I would suggest it. Read the review you decide.
