    From app presentation, to CCG elements for players, and plush gameplay that will last for hours, Football Heroes is more than a “beat ‘em up”; it is a major leap forward in the mobile sports genre and a testament to what can be achieved with great development and patience.

    Football Heroes is a fun pigskin game that offers a continual stream of great moments, though it’s held back by unintelligent computer opponents.

    Football Heroes is a great game for football fans, or arcade fans allowing for some hectic action on iOS that makes for a worthwhile download.

    While Football Heroes is hardly the next NFL Blitz, it is a fun little football romp to play when taking a break from Madden. It's worth a trip to the end zone.

    Football Heroes has a good game of football at its core, but some of the missing features are killer.

    This game is great fun. Exactly like Super Tecmo Bowl with power-ups. You don't have to like football to really enjoy this game. Not sureThis game is great fun. Exactly like Super Tecmo Bowl with power-ups. You don't have to like football to really enjoy this game. Not sure why it took so long to make a great football game like this on IOS and it's free. I believe the developers have only scratched the surface with this one and it will only get better. Online play will make this a must have game.… Expand
