"No refs. No rules," boastsNFL Blitz 2000, making it clear that this game isnottrue-to-life football simulation. The game disregards strict realism in favor of outrageous moves,  bone-crushing tackles, and jaw-dropping plays. And you'll need those big plays: a first down inNFL Blitz  2000is 30 yards, and there aren't any rules against pass interference.The gridiron action is enhanced by the voices of the players. A safety who body-slams a wide receiver will  stand over the writhing body and jeer, "You're in MY house, sucka!"  A sacked quarterback may limp  away, wailing, "I think it's broken!"  Even the game's announcers get in on it, gleefully pointing out that  your star running back just got clobbered.SoNFL Blitz 2000is the perfect game to play with your buddies. It's fast, fierce, and quickly gets  everyone talking trash and slinging taunts. Up to four people can play at once, two on each team (each  player needs their own controller).Fans of deep, realistic football strategy should check outNFL 2K.
