All of the big plays and bone-crunching hits of the arcade game can be put in the palm of your hand with NFL BLITZ 2001. As with all BLITZ games, football has been reduced to a high-scoring seven-on-seven affair. Pick your squad from any of the 31 NFL teams and go at it in the Season or Arcade modes. Arcade mode has you challenge all of the teams in the league to a game, while Season mode puts you through the paces of a 16-game season, the playoffs, and a chance to win the Super Bowl. No matter what mode you play, you won't miss a second of the action thanks to the multiple camera angles that are available. Whenever there is a great play, the digitized voice of the announcer will let you know, and you will be treated to a full-motion video sequence. Get into the game with NFL BLITZ 2001.

The perfect arcade sports game often duplicated, never replicated. Fast, snappy gameplay with pretty entertaining commentary and a good sense of impact on hits. What's not to love?

My absolute favorite sports title on the N64. Fantastic arcade style gameplay that's fun to play alone but even better with friends.

Pretty much the same game as 2000, only with more unnecessary customization options and "better" graphics (lol). The commentary is a lot more annoying in this one, however - they feel the need to announce that every late hit is illegal, which seems pretty obvious from where I'm sitting. A little bit of diminishing returns, but it's still a very good time.

Kinda fell off a bit at the end.

Arcade style football that was fun to mess around with as a kid. If you aren't playing as Steve McNair than what are you doing?
