    Walks a fine line between serious sim and classic Blitz action and maintains a perfect balance from start to finish.

    Consider this, you can play the game almost anyway you wish, with strict rules or with the attitude. This is a game that is highly entertaining to play and watch.
  3. GamingTrend

    A solid game, but the sluggish gameplay holds it back considerably.
  4. Next Level Gaming

    It's ok for a secondary Football game if you have friends over, or want to go online occasionally. But as a single player game, or something you play leagues with on the PS2, I think this is the year Blitz doesn't quite fit in. And I love Midway, so this is a very difficult thing to say.

    A game that just doesn't fit in. Out of the box it's not as fun as its predecessors, and nowhere near as deep or engaging as Madden or ESPN.
  6. Electronic Gaming Monthly

    Still a user-friendly pigskin experience with lightning-fast over-the-top gameplay. Yet I'm forced to throw a penalty flag at the lack of big passing plays I've come to love from this franchise. [Nov 2003, p.172]

    By diluting the elements that set NFL Blitz apart from other football games, Midway has left the door open for its game to be compared to "Madden NFL 2004" and "ESPN NFL Football." Unfortunately, there is no comparison.

    Slow Slow Slow...Older the better. No Blitz left in this series. A game for people who have only 1 game, or never played any previous Blitz games.
