Blitz: The League (Xbox 360, 2006)

This game is so addictive makes you forget about madden, it took a while to get use to the controls but this game is well worth buying, fun for hours and days.

Game Play

As everyone knows, the game play is the most important factor in sports games. I can say that Midway succeeded in this aspect for Blitz. The game is a little more realistic than say Blitz 02 or 03. However, that isn't saying much. This game seems like the Blitz of old, NFL Street, and Madden into one. The only similar trait in this with Madden is that there are a large selection of plays. There are also two timeouts per half for each team. The time also stops and goes like how it does in Madden. A new feature during the game is clash mode, which sounds confusing, but after reading over it in the instruction booklet, you will be fine. Of course, seeing bones snap, actually being able to participate in a brawl that will last about 20 seconds, and having your trainer give your injured player steroids can be fun as well. You will have fun while playing, and Midway certainly delivered in the game play aspect.

Game Play Score: 9/10

Graphics

The graphics are good for every game on the XBOX 360. These are pretty good, but nothing at all that will blow you away.

Graphics Score: 6/10

Story Mode

The story mode is pretty good. There is an actual storyline that you are in. It is somewhat basic, but a creative idea that works. I don't really want to give anything away really, but the story mode reminds me of The Playmakers, the football show that used to be on ESPN. Also, you gain cash from things that you do in the game, and you can use it to boost ratings on your team for things such as speed, tackling, etc. Another cool feature is that you can wager money on your game, based on the point odds, like in real life.

Story Mode Grade: 8/10

Sound

On the field, the sounds are amazing. The hits sound so realistic. You will see your coordinator yelling at your players. The thing that stops the sound from being a perfect ten is the song selection. I like rap music in general, but the rap music in this game sounds very amateur, and it sounds like you are listening to the same song over and over again. For that reason, the sound grade goes down, but is still solid.

Sound Score: 8/10

Overall I would rate this game an 8 out of 10. Push in your steroids and crach a receiver coming across the middle. Just like Romanowski.

This game is modeled beautifully after the Blitz franchise. I loved Blitz on the Nintendo 64, and then while nintendo has gotten sofer, and even MORE family oriented, the xbox and 360 have grown to accomodate the void for violence left behind. A ripped it a new one! YAY!
I love all the extra modes of play, and you can customize as much or as little as you want! I put my favorite team in and customized the entire line-up! Woo Hoo, Go Team!! First time one a division championship in a long time! LOL, I am truly glad I made this purchase. And if you liked the XFL, you will love this too.

The best part about Blitz is the you can do stuff that can't be done in other football games. Like playing dirty and getting in some cheap shoots in. Also, since it's on the 360, the graphic are pretty good, but even better on a HDTV.

When I bought Blitz the league I was hoping for an experience a little different then the madden games give you, and I definitely got that. This game gets down into the "real" world of professional football. It has painkillers and steroids and other things like that, that really are not officialy part of football but are still there. I enjoyed it for awhile but no one will play it online it seems like. So I would say if you are looking for an experience of football different then madden go ahead get this game, but if you are faint of heart you might want to think twice about getting this game because there is blood and profanity. I gave this game a three mostly because it is lacking in online players and because its just a little over the top on violence and profanity, but if you just want to enjoy a little simplified football (with a little bit more attitude) by yourself then I would reccomend this game to you.

Not exactly a 5 star game but it has a great fun factor and if you like football you will love Blitz The League. It has Lawrence Taylor and Bill Romanowski in it as voices as well. Check it out if you want a football game with a twist.

EVERYTHING ARRIVED IN-TACT AND IN GREAT CONDITION. THANK YOU. GREAT TIMING. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Blitz is thee most FUNNEST football game ever made. You can crush other players, cause seriouse injuries, "Juice" your players to preform better. Its an all around better football game. BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been over a month now and i still haven't received the product yet. I did a claim a week or so ago. Still haven't heard anything.

this is a good game and if you like playing no bar hold football games then you will enjoy this game when you can get it for a few bucks you cant go wrong..and when the kids destroy it your only out like 5.oo bucks cant complain there lol

I like everything about the way the seller do business. Fast shipping, the item exactly the way he said. Nothing more better to said other than hopefully do business again.

Blitz is a dead average game that was spurced up with a ton of little extras to make it fun. The game itself is pretty lack luster, but they added a slow-motion powerplay feature that makes it interesting. The only problem is, later on in the game when youre playing harder teams, youre virtually dependent on the slow-mo thing to do ANYTHING. I mean you cant even make a freaking catch without it. So it ends up feeling like youre playing football in the Matrix or something.

"The league" stuff is pretty fun- that's what makes this game worth it. Being able to decide your guy's training regiments, and which dopes to put them on is pretty interesting. It adds just enough to make the game good.

Only buy this game if you can get it cheap. I paid around 10 with shipping. Any more than 12 or 13 and dont bother.

Action packed. I had played this with friends and had to have my copy!!! My son is 13 and we can't get enough. It's simple enough for the daddy but challenging for the 13 year old expert.

The game is the worst of them all. I own all the Blitz's that have come out pretty much after blitz 2003 the game went to crap. This one tries to integrate what the previous blitz had which is the hard hits but the game is slower paste and also they have a meter that fuels the players to be able to go crazy.
Basically in simple words blitz is supposed to be easy to play, fun, fast paste, insane passing/tackling/running/just everything. Blitz the League is boring, slow paste, some points confusing, and just very unlike what blitz was when it first came out.

Gets you a good 10 to 15 hours of fun for 20 bucks you cant beat that with a stick. Also multiplayer is great fun just dont be looking to play anyone over xbox live cus no one is there best to have a friend around to play this one. Its a good buy if you need somethen to hold you over till a great game comes out.
