    If Madden & the old NFL Blitz games had a love child, this would be the end result.

    Sometimes games have an identity crisis. I think Arena Football falls into that category. It doesn't know whether to be the high-strategy, sim-style of the Madden football games or the all out action of NFL Blitz. So wha... Read Full Review

    I hate this game

    Ok for one thing this game couldve been great but EA screwed it up totally. Yes i will admit the hits are pretty cool but they get boring after you have seen them at least twice and when they hit eachother it shouldve be... Read Full Review

    Lame

    I suppose if you really like the AFL, you may get at least something out of this. It is really pretty terrible tho. There are about a dozen plays & the menu to pick them is kinda stupid. The def. box is really kinda stup... Read Full Review

    Aside from the new controls, ARENA FOOTBALL nails the sport perfectly.

    At first I doubted this game, then I watched some videos, saw some screens, and got into it. I bought it a few days ago, and at first I thoough the new controls were just crazy and impossible to learn. But after like 2 g... Read Full Review

    If this was trying to be a madden wanna be, well it got what it want it.

    Gameplay: I must say with a little improvement it could be as good as madden. My only problem is every streak you throw it's almost guarantee complete. If this is your first time playing arena football you'll get flagge... Read Full Review

    Arena Football is a good football game to have ,but I doubt if it will hold your interest for long.

    I find Arena Football to be very entertaining and different though the object of the game is to out score your opponent, the high scores and lack of stats make the game a bit weak at times. Although it would probably sco... Read Full Review
