An incredible sports game, adding up to one of the best (if not the best) the sports genre has ever seen.

Basically, the only real reason to pick up this game is if you did not buy the original or if you simply must have the updated rosters for the 1999-2000 NFL season.

The players look and sound cartoony, with gigantic quadriceps and incredibly deep voices.

I am not sure why they do not remaster this game every 3 or 4 years for the new consoles. This is a fantastic local player arcade football game, that will bring out the competitive nature in everyone.

Classic game that can still be played to this day. The NBA Jam of the NFL.

When sports games are realistic, they're boring. Sports games are best when they're ridiculous. And there's nothing more ridiculous and amazing than having your lineman catch fire because he's consistently sacking the QB, then recover a turnover and sprint away dragging 3 or 4 opposing teammates behind him. Blitz is awesome. Blitz 2000 is the best in the franchise. Madden expects you to have 3 functions memorized for each button. Blitz is arcade style madness that only uses A, B and Z. AND YOU CAN TACKLE ANYONE. ANYTIME. Because screw pass interference.

A must-buy for anyone who enjoyed last year's game -- and also anyone looking for an all-around fun game with the power to turn friends into enemies.

The wealth of new features like the extra stadiums, wind effects and play editor still play second banana to the skull crushing gameplay that we loved in last year's game.

Compared to the conservative Madden franchise, "Blitz 2000" is the flamboyant "Neon Deion Sanders of football games, and a hell of a lot of fun.

Keep the same great game play but throw in more innovation next time please.

It's just the kind of game for people that thought NBA Hangtime, Open Ice, and WWF Arcade were as real as they need in a sports game.

If you're after a deeper football game or something that you can play alone, getting Blitzed isn't the right choice (the right choice is NFL 2K).

Probably the best game to ever come out for the n64. The ridiculousness of how buff the characters are, plus their voices makes for a great laugh and fun arcade experience. The game really shines in multiplier mode with a group of you best friends. Makes the non competitive, competitive.

Best game of the Blitz series, best football game for N64, one of the best games for N64. Blitz 2000 is perfection of the Blitz formula. A great multiplayer party game, It's easy enough to pick up that new players won't be intimidated, but can be complex enough to lead to heated matches. Graphics are good for N64, voiceovers for players and announcers are good at first but do get old after a while. This game is great for football fans but is arcadey enough that even non-sports fans love it! Tons of plays mean this game never gets old. Absolute must have for any N64 owner, my friends and I still play this in 2013, 14 years after it was released. It's so addictive that "one quick game of Blitz" always turns into a best of 3, then best of 7, etc. My main complaint is that playing 3 or 4 player is kind of lame because 2 people have to play as receivers and that's not very fun, but you trade off so it minimizes that. Also the AI does try to balance the game by increasing fumbles and interceptions to give the losing player a leg up, which can be frustrating for seasoned players, especially when you get back to back fumbles and interceptions against you. These are just 2 minor shortfalls though, this game is outstanding.
SummaryIt's back and it's better than ever! NFL Blitz 2000 adds new offensive and defensive plays, realistic weather conditions, new stadiums and a Tournament mode! Customize offensive and defensive plays to your liking. Call audibles at the line of scrimmage. You've got control now! Passing made easy with new "Blitz Passing" for one-... Read More
