* Compelling Storyline
* Do stuff that you cannot do in other football games(drugs, bet on games, date, sponsors, cause intentional injuries, etc...)
* Frank Caliendo (as John Madden) play-by-play is nothing short of hilarious
* Build your team, player from bottom all the way to the top
* Solid Soundtrack Exclusives
The Bad:
* Once again, possible "Rubber Band A.I."
The Bottom Line:
Looking for a politically-incorrect alternative to Madden series? Look no further than this one. A new play-by-play of Frank Caliendo as John Madden is worth the money alone. There are so many funny lines, it will keep you laughing for the whole game. A new feature in this sequel is that you can be selective when injuring your opponent, as you get to decide which body part you want to injure seconds before the collision. If somebody injures you, you now have the option of taking care of injury right on a field with mini-games: trying to align a syringe while the ailing players moving and shaking and even a mini-game where you have to put the bones back into the sockets. Other interesting storyline decisions that you would have to make will be dating your sponsors. Do you want to date one girl or date other girls and use their sponsorship to your advantage? Once again, there will be many Easter eggs to hunt and pick-up on, as Minnesota franchise goes on a wild ship cruise and the New England team gets accused of cheating. Lawrence Taylor comes back as a major character, while Bill Romanowski doesn't. The computer seems to play much better when falling behind, which could suggest that just like last game, they are utilizing the "Rubberband AI." however, If you are a football fan and a fan of Frank Caliendo, this is a must get! Due to the nature of this game, it should only be played by mature audience.

I loved the first Blitz game. It was football the way it's supposed to be played. Even without NFL teams or players, Blitz provided the hard-hitting action needed in football. Broken necks, concussions, and fractured tibias (coupled with a doctor's view video of the injury) made it fun. It became a competition of how mayn opponents can I hurt, and how long can I keep them out for?Blitz 2 takes a lot of good strides, but misses on key notes. Here's a list of Pros and Cons:
PROS
Hard-hits and lots of injuries
Good, in-depth career mode
Lots of creation ability on logo, team name, uniform colors and style, etc.
Offensive Coordinator's comments are profane and funny, but run their course quickly
Addition of "special" commentator Mohn Jadden is a riot!
CONS
Not enough to unlock that I care about (i.e. four new game modes, but 20 behind the scenes videos)
Injury cut scenes can't be skipped, even when it's not your team
Mini game for injury impact detracts from game, slows down gameplay, and gets really annoying really quickly
Injury remedy mini games get annoying after a few games
Loading takes a while, even for exhibition games
Best Deals for Blitz: The League II - Xbox 360
I have always been a fan of the Blitz series. I never liked sports games very much, but this is something different. Who doesn't like injuring the other teams players. Blitz the League II is far better and more versatile than the original Blitz the League. The injury system is more graphic and you actually have to participate in helping the injury recover quickly with either giving a shot or resetting the bone.They also have a player creation system in campaign mode that is developed like a press interview which is really cool too. On a scale of 1 10 I'd give the first Blitz the League a 5 and this one an 8. If you're a fan of the Blitz series, this one won't disappoint.
Honest reviews on Blitz: The League II - Xbox 360
It's fun for a couple of hours...the AI is so dirty and cheap, it takes some of the fun out of playing the campaign. Not bad in vs. setting though. Co-op campaign wouldnt have been a terrible idea either.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Blitz: The League II - Xbox 360
2 player is a lot of fun. No issues there, but unless you enjoy throwing your controller at your t.v. don't bother playing the campaign. The computer was always cheap, even in the first one but this one was just ridiculous.If the computer seems to be winning no matter what you do, do yourself a favor: Just put the controller down and let the game play out. Because whether you like it or not, the computer will win. Whether it be through fumbles, slips on the field, 6 broken tackles (seriously), you name it. It will happen to you until you lose. And don't worry about what you upgrade because the computer's teams will always have it upgraded more. I focused all money and stats on my team's speed from the beginning of the game and STILL, every team was much faster than mine. Even division 3 teams will piss you off
I can't take the swings. The mechanics and A.I. are completely manipulated by what the score is. There's no consistency whatsoever. This was a problem with the first one but it's way more obvious in this one.
