What is this supposed to be, a Blitz ripoff?
User Rating: 6.5 | NFL Street 2 GC
In my opinion, Sports games are a hit-or-miss deal. The legendary sports games are the ones with the roar of the crowds, the feel of the game, and a pick-up-and-play system. To be frank, I thought that NFL Street 2 just didn't cash in on any of these. The tutorial was a total **** to complete, if only for the sheer fact that when they told me to juke, I could juke, but still fail the juking tutorial. It's this kind of crap that made the game unappealing to me from the beginning. It was also, plain and simply, a dull experience.
There are no roaring fans, no loud music, and nothing to get you pumped up on the street. In fact, besides the grunting of the players, the game is eerily quiet. Sure, there's the music I had never heard of, but it didn't make the game feel any more welcoming. If you're a serious football game fan, pick up a copy of the new Madden. If you're a leisurely football game fan like me, stick with NFL Blitz. The hits are harder, the fans cheer harder, and the game's just more fun.
