Opening Snide Remarks: As some of you may know, I received this game for 
free.  My cousin received it for being on the Nickelodeon GAS channel(that's
Games And Sports, you weirdos).

Gameplay Description: NCAA GameBreaker '99 is a pretty decent football game.
This game fails to really impress in any area, but it won't make you sick 
either.  The actual gameplay is pretty lousy.  This is an extremely simple
football game, but it's just not very much fun to play.  Here's how to score:
Throw a pass and then make the receiver jump.  That's it.  The running game 
is laughable.  Defense if stupid, as well.  Overall, if you don't have access
to Quarterback Club '99 or any Madden games, the GB will do. 
Liked: Decent gameplay.  
Hated: NFL QB Club '99 beats this game like a dog.(I don't condone beating 
dogs.)

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

Graphics Description: NCAA GB '99 looks pretty lousy.  The characters are 
extremely plain and blocky.  The stadiums look okay, but that's it.  The mo-
cap moves are crappy.  The people move very stupidly, but the celebrations 
look good?!?  Overall, I guess the graphics are okay for the PSX, but don't
expect NFL QB Club '99.
Liked: Celebrations.
Hated: Every friggin' thing else.

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

Sound/Music Description: NCAA GB '99's music is okay.  It sounds like 
marching band music, which fits this game well.  The sound fx are okay, but 
the play-by-play commentary by broadcasting legend Keith Jackson is 
laughable.  He talks about things that just didn't happen.  If you make a 
pass up the middle of the field, he'll say "He throws to the sideline".  This
is stupid.  He also will call off the wrong team's name.  Every game he will
mention Air Force, but yet I have never even played Air Force.  He also 
called the Ball State Cardinals, the Ball State Cougars.  Huh?!?  They have 
little red birds on their helmets, but they're the Cougars?  At halftime, I 
saw that they really were the Cardinals.  This is extremely stupid and I 
would have thought better of Sony.     
Liked: Keith Jackson...
Hated: When Keith makes a wrong call(which is verrrry frequently.)

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

Play Control/Game Design: NCAA GB '99 controls okay.  The digital controls 
are fine, but the analog controls are way too touchy.  The game design is 
okay, but this football game is way too simple. 
Liked: Okay digital controls.
Hated: Horrible analog controls.

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

Improve: Make a more complex game and fix Keith Jackson's commentary!!!

RIYL: NFL Quarterback Club '99, Madden NFL series.

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

Final Words: NCAA GameBreaker '99 is a decent game.  If you are a college 
football junkie, then GB '99 might be your fix.  Anyone else, don't waste 
your money on this pitiful game.  I got this game for free and I still feel
screwed.
