    If you're looking for an over-the-top football title with some massive mayhem, go play "NFL Blitz 2000" instead. Leave this one on the shelf.

    While it's certainly not a revolutionary offering, NFL Blitz 2001 contains a nice variety of gameplay modes and exhaustive editing features that should keep fans of frenetic arcade football happy.

    More of the same NFL Blitz antics you know and love, but a shamefully sparse set of upgrades steals its thunder.

    An Olympics-licensed title that could have been great is marred by a shoddy control setup and lack of production.

    Even with its twitchy control and funky camera angles, it's a top-notch action/adventure worthy of the moniker. Excelsior!

    Aside from the fact that Invasion feels less like a Star Trek title than it does a "Colony Wars" update, it delivers the goods for a shooter: fast, furious, and addictive action.
