NFL Blitz , PlayStation 3.

Around the 18-yard line even have to dust off my n64 for this one didn't have to dig out my Kordell Stewart emblazoned copy of the original didn't have to figure out which of three ways

to hold the controller nope just downloaded it for the ps3 though XBLA is also an option and proceeded to pick up right where I left off with ultraviolent penalty free arcade

football action I could call this game NBA gem on grass that I will because that's exactly what it is from the same tap that gave us not only the original and most recently rebooted arcade style

sports franchise but also the utterly forgettable NHL hits with a Z and MLB slugfest with no Z NFL Blitz is all about over-the-top football bad announcer banter and high-scoring

action-packed games take your mad new style statistical analyses and sabermetrics elsewhere friend hear the word of the day is obscene basically you can play like James Harrison every

down without fear of retribution hit a guy out of bounds who cares German suplex a runner who gave you the wrong Juke hey Mick steve blackman proud chokeslam a wideout on the one-yard

line it's blitz baby rules are meant to be laughed at why you cold defenseless receivers since the field is more open and it's only a 7 on 7 game the definition of a good play needs to be

expanded since it's so extreme you're expected to get 30 yards on each set of downs the point after a touchdown is literally a given just click on the box and you're awarded the chip in unless

you want to go for to the field is your burrito tackle right around the 16 yard line all the NFL teams are represented here plus some special hidden teams comprised of pirates zombies League

football and even a team of bipedal horses I kid you not oh these guys put in the brownie back into jabroni you can unlock them by beating them in the Mortal Kombat style blitz gauntlet mode

and activate said cheat using a three symbol code system much like well like Mortal Kombat 3 or if equestrian events don't particularly suit your fancy you can instead assemble your own team of

superstars this requires the accumulation of points earned by playing online head-to-head games so you can buy packs of cards representing each player but don't grow complacent

with your super uber team each card also has a green health bar labeled contract that limits its use fortunately both sides in an online game can potentially earn points

so there's something to be gained by not ragequitting thanked Lombardi the last thing we need is a progression and collection system based on the premise that people on the Internet are jerks

oh it's blitz baby there's a lot that can be forgiven sure the announcers can be horrifyingly even comically an eight share the mechanics feel much dicey er than Anna polished retail release sure

it's full of horses and put those aside this is a game about absurdity in football two of my favorite things in the world and as the real game gets more and more protective despite Colt

McCoy not knowing where he was that one time the kind of visceral thrill that comes from watching a runner get jacked up goes by the wayside sure I can understand the position of trying to

protect the player's health enter these digital surrogates who can take a lickin and keep on tickin this is the football you want to see but

can't see anywhere else this is football as it was meant to be a barely disguised all-out brawl and here we go second down and he's gonna run with it.
