Football season, it came, it ended, and I rolled an actual game. Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a fan of football both specifically and in general. I'm not sure if I have all that much to say on this game, it's football.

You take your team, fight the enemy team, try to score points by making it to the goal. The blitz series, afaik, is famous for having 'over the top' animations for when you tackle someone. Based off the limited animations I've seen in this tiny GBA game, I think I can attest that THAT rumor is true. When you take someone down they often flip or look like they got hit by an imaginary truck, or clotheslined. This game has voice acting too, and it's pretty crunchy. There's very limited music in the game... you'd think football would get it's act together already on that front. The AI is pretty reliable in this game for defending and cover. You get to control 1 character, and can switch between who you control with the B button. The L button allows you to turbo dash, but you have a limited amount that slowly recharges. Something kinda interesting is that if you do really well on defense (drive the enemy team back to the 10 yard line), your turbo gauge will become 'on fire' and you will permanently have the turbo run feature. The game is a bit imbalanced in that way, because once you get that fire, you'll never lose it unless you play really really REALLLY badly. The season play has 16 games, then you get the finals brackets to finish up and win the superbowl. It's as close to a "story mode" you can get in this game. The funniest thing about this game is that if you start it up and don't press anything, it gives you credits. Oh, and you can always just spam the same move over and over again if it works. AI is dumb enough to allow that.

All in All, I'm giving this game a 5 for it's score. Lack of music, crunchy voice clips, being a sports game, missing frames, glitchy backgrounds sometimes, and a litany of other issues bring this game to it's knees.
