 A GAME CREATED FOR MEN!!! November 18, 2008

I've always been a fan of the Blitz series, I'm the type of person that just likes to have silly fun when going against a buddy on a one on one in a game. Blitz 2 definitely delivered a game that can be hours of fun, from the bone crushing hits, to the mini games of juicing and snapping your players bones back into place, who can't seriously say this game isn't worth the dollar. I don't really eveb bother with the campaign, because I get the most out of these kind of games when my friend is sitting next to me getting mad because I keep taking his players out of the game! Graphics have been kicked up a notch since the last Blitz, and the overall feel and framerate of the game is satisfying. If you are thinking about picking up this game, make sure you have a friend that likes to compete in hard hitting good old fashioned street football...
 Once again, Blitz series provides a great arcadic alternative to Madden November 18, 2008

The Good:
* Compelling Storyline
* Do stuff that you cannot do in other football games(drugs, bet on games, date, sponsors, cause intentional injuries, etc...)
* Frank Caliendo (as John Madden) play-by-play is nothing short of hilarious
* Build your team, player from bottom all the way to the top
* Solid Soundtrack Exclusives
The Bad:
* Once again, possible "Rubber Band A.I."
The Bottom Line:
Looking for a politically-incorrect alternative to Madden series? Look no further than this one. A new play-by-play of Frank Caliendo as John Madden is worth the money alone. There are so many funny lines, it will keep you laughing for the whole game. A new feature in this sequel is that you can be selective when injuring your opponent, as you get to decide which body part you want to injure seconds before the collision. If somebody injures you, you now have the option of taking care of injury right on a field with mini-games: trying to align a syringe while the ailing players moving and shaking and even a mini-game where you have to put the bones back into the sockets. Other interesting storyline decisions that you would have to make will be dating your sponsors. Do you want to date one girl or date other girls and use their sponsorship to your advantage? Once again, there will be many Easter eggs to hunt and pick-up on, as Minnesota franchise goes on a wild ship cruise and the New England team gets accused of cheating. Lawrence Taylor comes back as a major character, while Bill Romanowski doesn't. The computer seems to play much better when falling behind, which could suggest that just like last game, they are utilizing the "Rubberband AI." however, If you are a football fan and a fan of Frank Caliendo, this is a must get! Due to the nature of this game, it should only be played by mature audience.

I have always been a fan of the Blitz series. I never liked sports games very much, but this is something different. Who doesn't like injuring the other teams players. Blitz the League II is far better and more versatile than the original Blitz the League. The injury system is more graphic and you actually have to participate in helping the injury recover quickly with either giving a shot or resetting the bone.
They also have a player creation system in campaign mode that is developed like a press interview which is really cool too. On a scale of 1 - 10 I'd give the first Blitz the League a 5 and this one an 8. If you're a fan of the Blitz series, this one won't disappoint.
