NFL Blitz 2001 PSX
Game Information
Who needs rules? This version of the offensively minded NFL BLITZ is even more fast-paced, action-driven, and penalty-free than its ancestors. Using an amazingly intuitive controller configuration, BLITZ keeps it as simple as possible. It's all about excitement, as you choose between 27 effective offensive plays and nine defensive sets for your NFL franchise. The teams are all here, but reality has flown out the window, as you rip off helmets, throw punches, and dive at kickers. New features include individual stats based on NFL performance, new player animations, updated stadiums, multiplayer options in Season mode, better AI, new rants from the BLITZ announcer, and a cool new soundtrack. The highlight of the additions, however, has to be the Party Games mode, which allows up to four players to compete in crazy football challenges. In "1st and Goal Frenzy," you have four downs to score on your opponent; "Goal Line Stand" reverses the scenario and has you defending for four downs; and "Quarterback Challenge" has you passing at specific targets. Oh, and there's one more thing new cheerleaders.

Additional Information
Blitz 2001 follows in the path of the 2000 version's upgrade, keeping nearly the same interface as the previous year's game. Blitz's gameplay is as over-the-top as ever, and you can be sure that with this entry, Midway isn't any closer to turning their series into a football simulation. Blitz's gameplay is quick and simple, designed so that anyone can pick it up and play. The basic rules of football are in place for any given game, but beyond that, nearly anything is legal. And much of what shouldn't be legal is patently encouraged.
This year's model includes both a playbook editor and a player editor for those who like to get their hands messy when diving into a game. In the playbook editor, you can edit the different plays that you'll be choosing in the actual game. Think you have a crafty play that's sure to fool the other team's defense? Or are you just interested in creating variations on the Hail Mary? Either way, you can do it in Blitz 2001. The player editor, also available in the 2000 edition, lets you create your own weekend warrior from scratch, giving him both the look and the stats you'll want to imbue upon him.
NFL Blitz 2001 contains Single Game, Season, and Tournament modes, as well as the popular multiplayer component, which can support up to four players with the multi-tap. New to this year are the mini-games, such as the QB Challenge, First-and-Goal, and Hold-the-Line, which will test specific skills within the Blitz world.
All the teams are up-to-date in Blitz 2001, with fairly complete rosters and a good number of actual stadiums from around the country. Beyond that, though, the realism stops, and all-out madness begins. So strap on your helmets, throw on your pads, and get ready for some of NFL Blitz's patented football insanity!
