The Blitz franchise rumbles back onto the field with a meaty sequel.

by Robert Workman on Wednesday, October 29, 2008

Blitz the League II is a better football game than the original. Yet, better doesn't mean best as the graphics are still muddy, the story mode isn't up to par and the mature themes are too much for casual football fans. Nevertheless, this is down and dirty football that hits hard. Thanks to a variety of new plays and late hits makes it even more enjoyable. Nothing beats kicking a player, literally, while he's down. Midway also made an ingenious move hiring comic Frank Caliendo, who brings his Madden shtick with laugh-out-loud results. No, it won't topple EA's Madden franchise, but this Blitz is worth playing if you want a smash mouth football game with mature issues.
