Gosh darn it let's play some football!

The leve of cuteness in this game is high, but the level of overall fun is pretty low. After a while, you'll find yourself wanting to kick the announcer in the face repeatedly... which is fitting because his face is shaped somewhat like a football. One of the more interesting tactics I saw was the "stealth mode" that was a stranger features in the game. Damn those invisible children! Other than that, it's probaby a good game to give your kid before you get him hooked on Madden, but if you're a serious football gamer, this doesn't really have any place in your collection other than a possible re-gift to a buddy who's got children and a Gamecube.
