DESCRIPTION

Midway's over-the-top examination of the seamy side of professional football returns after a one-year hiatus in Blitz: The League II. The series once again offers a dramatized view of football, this time featuring a Campaign mode penned by Peter Egan, writer for the ESPN series Playmakers. Other new features include precision-aim tackling that lets players target a specific area of an opponent's body, a new selection of vicious tackles that shatter helmets, break bones, and knock out teeth, an enhanced Clash mode for special maneuvers, and player-controlled touchdown celebrations. Hall-of-Famer Lawrence Taylor reprises his role as the tough-as-nails player Quentin Sands, while comedians Jay Mohr and Frank Caliendo round out the cast, portraying "The Agent" and "The Prison Warden" respectively. Aside from the Campaign mode, players can partake in hard-hitting football action in the quick-play Versus mode, and take on friends in online multiplayer modes. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide
