    Okay, it may sem a little high, but when playing it with friends it is the most fun since (but not better than) NFL Street 2.

    This was definitely the jolt that sports gaming needed at the time, & great for incorporating arcade fun ,as an option away from simulation. Extremely great game that feeds the gridiron bloodlust. Magnificent over-the-top fun!

    This is football for people who don't like football - which is rather pointless. [Dec 2005, p.110]
  2. This is Blitz at its best, adding an even meaner, uglier spirit to the game that will have anyone with a strong stomach and a thirst for brutality jumping out of his or her seat in elation with every murderous tackle landed. Ladies and gentlemen, Blitz is back.
  3. Blitz: The League gives a new meaning to smash mouth football.
