****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: I never played the arcade version of Blitz, but I 
figured that this version would be good. 

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: NFL Blitz is football crossed with the WWF.  The only 
rule is that you must score more than your opponent to win.  Everything is 
legal.  There's no pass interference, no offsides, or no roughing the kicker.
It's full-out, balls to the wall excitement.  This game is even better with
2 players, but the CPU will put up a good fight even though it cheats.  This
game is incredibly fun.  
Liked: Fun gameplay.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: The graphics of Blitz are great.  The players are large
and are well-detailed.  The game moves with a great frame rate.  The arenas 
are nicely detailed as well.    
Liked: Great graphics.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: Blitz's music is great.  It plays during the game 
and kind of sounds like some of the music that you would hear on those NFL 
Films TV shows.  The sound fx are great.  There are lots of voice clips and
they sound great.  The announcer really gets into the game, as well.  
Liked: Great sound.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Blitz controls well.  The controls are very 
responsive.  The game design is great, they even added a season mode to play.  
Liked: Perfect controls.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Add a 4-player mode and this game would be even more perfect.

RIYL: Madden series, QB Club series.

****************************************************************************

Final Words: NFL Blitz is the best football game on the market.  If you don't
absolutely hate football, then you should check this game out.  Even if you
hate football, you should still check this game out.  My mom hates football 
and especially hates football games, but she really likes NFL Blitz.
