Arena Football Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have Blitz The League, Madden 06, and now Arena Football.I have enjoyed, and like all three for their distinctly different game play and style.

Arena Football gives you the realization of how small the field actually is.QB dropping deep or rolling to buy time works against you, or it has for me in the four games I played.Pass plays must be thrown on time and reads quick.Lack of extra deep safety, unless you give up underneath coverage, makes a much more wide open game.

Plenty of plays (true to Arena style) to choose from.Play is fast and camera changes zoom and angle which makes it tougher to play defense.Also almost every play I chose had some level of success to it, unlike Madden where you junk a ton of plays because they never work.

True to life Arena rules makes it tough (only blitzing 1 LB and between the tackles) to get to the QB.Gives the opponent (whether computer or human) a chance for success.Also prevents the mass blitz you use in Madden.Tough, as in the real game, to make defensive stops.This will make it a good multiplayer game.Have gone into the 4th trailing.

The menu, similar to other EA football games, is streamlined and simple.You don't have alot of the "fluff" (newspaper articles, grumbling players, etc.) that you have and usually ignore in the other games.Makes you remember and smile about the simpler times in our football games.

Game flows well.Running clock, 1 minute rules, etc. make it go by faster.The faster game play (overall speed) is enjoyable too.

It has a true Arena feel to it.Player intro's are true to form for arena.In four games I have already seen it all.Kick return for TD, kick muffed off the nets, onside kicks, pass caught off the nets, int, int then fumble, pass caught off the wall, pass tipped by 1 defender and caught by the other WR I wasn't throwing to who stayed on his route, safety, mulitple point swings, and of course big hits into the wall and flipping over the wall.Also teams with traditional good runners Georgia and Chicago had solid run plays against me where they normally attempt them too.

I have gone to several AFL games and when explaining it I tell people that it is totally different than regular football (but it has the football pieces to it).When you understand that and get the rules it is a fun game to watch and see the strategies used.The same holds true for the video game.It's not Blitz, not Madden, but has it's own distinct feel to it.
