While Billy Boy is talking about NBA or whatever, I have something a little more interesting. I had a dentist appointment today and when I went home to brush my teeth, FedEx was blocking my driveway.
I waited for him to leave, and noticed the package was from Midway. It was either Arcade Treasures 3…or…wait for it…..Blitz The League!
Yeah, it was Blitz. I had to sneak in a game before I go back to work. I am getting my ass kicked, 21-0 at the half. I have zero idea of the controls — the kick meter is like a game of Simon. Their version of bullet time has potential….this is a ‘preview’ version of the game. I’ve already seen the QB hobbled but not out of the game.
Gotta go back to work, but it has potential. I have seen 2 INTs in the end zone. Passing is tough so far. Running is tougher! I wish i could play more!!!
EDIT:
Update — OMG! I just scored my first TD with 0:20 left in the 4th. I went to get the 2 pt conversion but screwed that up. My meter was full so on the onside kick I invoked the ‘unleashed’ mode…boom…separated the guys shoulder…(lovely graphic display too). Guy gets on the bench and the team decides to shoot him up so that he’s only out for 3 plays. You won’t see that in Madden!

I can’t believe you went to work after getting that. This is easily the most interesting football game to come out in years. You could have called in dead or something. Glen

Wow, This game sound less interesting everytime I hear about it.Why didn’t they just get the XFL license, since it is basically a wrestling game with football wrapped around it.

I’ve only played one game. That description is not true, and the XFL is defunct.It was a hit on a player. No body slams, none of that. It was a ‘oh wow’ factor.

Midway has created a new “product” site for the game. http://www.pedisnv.com It’s all very juvenile humor, but still pretty entertaining.

I wasn’t necessarily refering to ur comments Dan, I saw videos last week where the LB was dropping a powerbomb on someone. To me that makes this no longer a legit football game. I had interest at first, but there is doing what the NFL wouldn’t let you do and then going way over the top, every video I have seen seems to be the later.
