Blitz: The League II...Kicks Madden right threw the GOAL POST!


What has our world come to? A football game with steroids, revealing cheerleaders, no rules and real painful injuries. This isn’t football. Madden is football. This is a different kind of sport. Its call Blitz: The League II. No rules, no fouls and no time to waste. This game is even better than the first one. It has more gore, more injuries, better graphics and even better gameplay. But what I enjoy most would be how they make the feel of a dark, lying and cheating league. Which is really actually parallel to the NFL but its just hid from us. Okay some stuff might be a little off. But with for examples like Mike Mexico a quarterback who is not in the league any more because of a "underground gambling operation" and has been sent to prison. Hmmmm..sounds kind of familiar?? What quarterback was locked up for an illegal gambling operation? Oh yeah, Michael Vick!

But other factors that were in the game, were actually hilarious, would be Frank Caliendo's impression of a famous sportscaster. Oh, how the rivalry has begun. I know there are a lot of Madden fans out there but I think people who are sick of the same game, same story would like to see the dark twist taken on football. Which would be Blitz: The League II. Also Jay Mohr voiced over for the agent of the main character of the game "Franchise". Lawrence Taylor returned to voice over Quentin Sands the recovering veteran who is placed on your franchise team. So a game with such talent behind it made this game worth wild.

The best part of this game would be the injury system. Okay, I did a clash tackle when I was first playing and I ruptured someone’s kidney. I remember the first Blitz where you did an injury and that was still a little painful to watch. But this game makes you want to look at the gruesome injuries and make you a little sick at the same time. Broken collarbones, ruptured body parts, broken forearms, hip pointers, concussions and more. It just got sicker and sicker as I played and it was awesome. I know that sounds pretty weird. But the realism of injuries and how gruesome they actually were, was incredible.

Now why would this game be better than the first Blitz? Or the predecessors before it? Simple...Its different. It’s not like Madden and it’s a bigger spin from the old N64 Blitz. It is like the first Blitz: The League but even better. Because it is more realistic than the first. I mean the amount of injuries could be a little too high. But the minigames on the sideline make either your player return for the better or come back into the game and suffer a worse injury. I enjoyed this game even more than I enjoyed the first Blitz: The League. I think it’s a better football game than any other out there. Madden has been coming out for years. It’s the same game! Blitz: just keeps changing and it totally for the better. So before I reviewed this the first Blitz: The League I gave it 3X Points. This time this Blitz is even better. So out of 5X Points I give Blitz: The League II 3.5X Points because it’s even better than the first game. So go pick up Blitz if you enjoy a game that kicks Madden right threw the field goal post. -T
