    Improvements over last year's (extremely late) version of Blitz are minimal. [Nov 2002, p.298]
  2. 71
    It's the weakest of all three versions of the game, but it still manages to provide Blitz fans with what they crave.
  3. Official U.S. Playstation Magazine

    I like my sequels with a little more pizzazz. [Sept 2002, p.115]
  4. PSM Magazine

    Nothing much has changed from the last version. [Sept 2002, p.26]
  5. The problem here is Blitz is a lot like Jerry Springer: if you’ve seen one episode, you’ve seen them all. This year’s edition does little to dispel that theory, since it comes with only a handful of new features, none of which include online play.

    A pleasant surprise last year, but the newest version offers little in the way of enhancements...Plays smooth and fast, perfect for a quick dose of action here or there. [Sept 2002, p.51]
  7. Game Informer

    I suggest Midway go back to the drawing board and mix realism with its brutal attitude, similar to what it did with "RedCard Soccer." [Oct 2002, p.84]
  8. NFL Blitz 20-03 is a near carbon copy of 20-02, no two ways about it. If you like Blitz gameplay, you'll find it here...but the lack of innovation is startling.

    If you like real football this isn't the game for you. if you like a lot of hitting it is definitely for you. There is no trades on it.If you like real football this isn't the game for you. if you like a lot of hitting it is definitely for you. There is no trades on it. Thats the bad thing about it.
