NFL Blitz 2000

"People who want a break from full-fledged football simulations can find refuge in NFL Blitz, where the action is fast and furious and the hits are extreme. "

"It's just that sort of attitude that shows NFL Blitz 2000 is ultimately bad for you. It'll make you relish those late hits, laugh at those painful groin injuries and pulled hamstrings, and give your game pad the fiercest workout imaginable. But it's still, in the words of the in-game announcer, "totally uncalled for, but awfully fun to watch."

"No one can possibly confuse NFL Blitz with anything but a fast paced frenzied game that vaguely resembles real football, but Midway is trying to at least bring some reality back to the game by adding more player skills to its virtual warriors. "

"There's no denying that NFL Blitz 2000 has what it takes to deliver short bursts of fun, particularly if you're playing against friends. Given its relatively low sticker price, there's probably no cheaper way to bring 100 percent pure arcade action into your home. But if you're looking for an action-oriented football game that you'll be playing long after this NFL season is over, then you're better off picking up Madden NFL 2000 and playing it in Arcade mode."

"...it's the gameplay itself that sets NFL Blitz apart from other sports games, and for that matter, from other games in general. "
