Blitz: The League is the XFL of football video games. At first look the game is good, but after playing for some time it gets vary repetitive. There is not much deaf to the game. You only have two game modes. In Quickplay mode you can play a game among the computer or a friend. The other mode is campaign. In campaign mode you create a team and compete among 15 other teams. You start in division three and work your way up to division one.

The motto of Blitz is win at any cost. You are constantly doing things that you could not do in Madden. Instead of defending a wide receiver, you just jack the receiver to the ground. When a guy gets hurt you can give him drugs to get him back in the game faster.

The clash meter shows how long you can stay in clash mode. The bar drains when you hold down the L trigger on offense and when you execute a Dirty hit on defense. It can be replenished with big plays on the field. Below the clash meter is the clash icon meter. It counts the number of clash icons that you have. You get clash icons for touchdowns, injuries, dirty hits, turnovers, jukes, and much more. When you have accumulated six clash icons you will enter unleash mode. When you use unleash on offence you have a much better chance of scoring. On defense when you use it you will cause a fumble or an injure.

Bottom line: The game is well worth a rental, but I would not buy it as it is vary repetitive. There is not much depth to the game. It kneaded to have some many games to keep my interest. The game lacks without the NFL license.
