Blitz The League: Where Reality Really Bites

August 25, 2006

What does it take to be the coverboy for Blitz: The League? Admit to using steroids, hit a teammate in the face, break an opponent’s eye socket, and then spit in his face in front of national TV. Looks like Romanowski’s their posterboy. Actually, he is! Along with Lawrence Taylor, an NFL Hall of Famer and admitted crack addict. Cool huh?

Midway’s Blitz: the League are for the boys and girls who know what really goes on, in and outside the game. You’ll see quite a lot of drinking, partying, fighting in clubs after matches. You’ll even have your own little menu for steroids and drugs. Illegal moves are pretty much legal in this game; facemasks, personal fouls, and knees to the stomach. Looks more like WWE and UFC than football.

You can play with Bill Romanowski as Bruno Batagglia; customize players, cities, and team logos; yes, you can take all the booze and pigskin online as well. Time to kick Madden 07‘s wholesome butt? Hmmm…we’ll see by October when this game gets out.

You want screenshots and videos? You got it, just don’t tell us we didn’t warn you.
