NFL Blitz 2000 is the hormonal equivalent to an 8 keg, 50-person birthday party! In other words, NFL Blitz 2000 is a great time waiting to happen.
The most important criteria for any sport video game is the ability of the player's skill to come right through the control pad. If I practice and reach a certain level of competence, than I should be able to thrash a person new to the game. NFL Blitz 2000 fits this pattern, and fits it well.
Player controls are excellent, allowing turbo dashes, spins, straight arms and leaps, anything and everything you need to avoid and bewilder your opponent. The game doesn't do any of this for you however, you need skills to compete, and that is how it should be. If you get too fancy, and the opposing team takes you down, you may commit so many turnovers your own teammates will beat you up in the locker room after the game.
NFL Blitz 2000 offers all the current NFL teams - I'm a BIG NFL fan - and many customized playbooks, including the ability to create and save all your own plays. You can pick between Arcade mode, Tournament mode and Season Mode, depending on what sort of competition you feel like taking on. Detailed stats after every game and the addition of a memory pack to your controller will let you save your progress as you march to the championship game.
The included game manual is really detailed.In addition, some secret codes are available at your favorite Internet cheat site - but I'll let you find them yourselves.
Overall, NFL Blitz 2000 is an excellent game for one, two or more players. Excellent player control, great playbooks, awesome graphics and just plain fun - its waiting for you in NFL Blitz
