This game is a lot of fun. Starting with the graphics, they aren't mindblowing, but this is Playstation. The sound is pretty bad, as the announcer Scott Farell has about 5 or 6 annoying phrases that he says over and over again. However, the gameplay is a blast. The closest thing that I could compare it to is NHL Rock The Rink, which I still play today. It is challenging and is pretty deep as well. The Sudden Death modes are great as well and add some extra replay value to the game. The Bottom Line is that it is fun to play and it plays like lacrosse. For people who say that the game is too fast, well, its an arcade game, so it is supposed to be fast. Besides, Lacrosse isn't a slow sport like baseball. The price tag is excellent at 29.99. I dare someone to find more than a handful of new PLaystation games for only 30 bucks. Go out and buy it, you won't be disappointed!

A long wait is about to get a little longer. Although Blast is a Lacrosse based game, it falls short on giving those who know the game the game we have been waiting for. The game is fun to play, it is pretty cool to see a Lacrosse goal and control the great players of the MLL. Game play is pretty fast making the flow of the game difficult. You don't get to hold the ball very long before your head is ripped off. You can do some quick stick and other real life plays. I would suggest buying this game, don't get me wrong.

Hopefully this is a prelude to an improved field version, on the PS2 please.

The only reason to buy this game is to support the notion of a lacrosse video game. Maybe if enough are sold, then a better, more realistic version will be made. It's obvious that the second review here, from Hong Kong, is really by the designer and is an advertisement. This game bites. It's nothing more than a retooled hockey engine. The graphics are poor, movement stale, and the play too fast. There's not much ball control, the hitting over exaggerated, and the movement is really choppy. Anyone playing any of the other top sports games, or used to PS2 will be disappointed. The novelty of it being a lacrosse game quicky wears thin. The only redeeming quality is the over the top commentary, but even that grows tiresome after a while. So don't buy this. Wait for something better or something that is more respectful of lacrosse. This is nothing more than a hockey game, and not even a good one, trying to pass itself off as lacrosse. Save your money.

Indoor Lacrosse! NLL License! W-I-N-G-S WINGS on PS!!!!

This is the greatest thing to happen in a long time for die hard lacrosse fans like myself. Not only is it box lacrosse, the better form of lacrosse, the "real man's lacrosse" instead of dull "soccer lacrosse", but it has a National Lacrosse League license! Thats means that now the Wings of Philly will be able to dominate the NLL in video game form too! Bergey! Finneran! Eliuk! "Hollywood" Marechek! Millon! Jacobs! Wait, no, not Jacobs, but still, this is a tremendous pick up for fast action, hardcore body checks, and sweet offensive plays. A must have for any lacrosse fan.

Well, all these reviews are just refecting what we hope the game to be since its not even out yet, but most of us have been waiting so long, we will play anything that say lacrosse on it!! I dont think it will be long before an outdoor version of a LAX game comes out but I play indoor and outdoor and I am a fan of both. We should just be happy they finally got a clue and made a lacrosse video game !! And I get to make the Bandits stomp all over the ... excuse for a lacrosse team that plays in Philly!! #16 to #41.. Goal!!

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT... Not Surprised

upon [reading]the reviews, i went out immediately and bought this game...boy was i majorly disappointed. the graphics are horrible, you cant tell when someone has the ball clearly, every check is a massive one, and i have that announcer's voice. i hated him when he was doing late nights on wfan in ny. the game itself is just annoying to deal with. if there were other, more serious lacrosse games out there, this would be a good change of pace. but the sad fact is, there arent ANY lacrosse games out there. but im willing to wait for the right now...P>i only give it two stars because its a lacrosse game. i think ea should come out with the ncaa lacrosse game... none of this indoor lacrosse with 60 pounds of protective equipment stuff. and it would be cool if they had a "retro" game mode where you can be different tribes of native americans playing the original game of bacharach.

lacrosse is an intense, awesome, fun game. this video game, however, falls desperately short of what all of us lax fans have been waiting for. but blast lacrosse isnt good at all. rent this game, and hate it as much as i do. buuy this game, and itll quickly gather dust.

BUY IT!...

Alright, I think this game is AWESOME!...It's almost exaxtly like real indoor lacrosse. And i bet ya that if enough are sold, they might do a outdoor one. They could make it a little more realistic though. I mean make it so you can make whatever shot you want. Like a elevator or any kind of crank. Also, some better graficts would be better. But this game is so cool outside of those few little details. Just to say im 14 and have been playing for 4 years, all seasons exept summer.PLEASE BUY THE GAME...

Finally A Lax Game

WOW have I waited long for this. Blast lacrosse should be awsome. You get all licened teams and players ( I even heard you can pick your own stick, with any stringing you want!). If you play lacrosse, or if your just a fan or something, PRE-ORDER this game now...........dude, seriously go do it, you know you dont want to miss the last one at the store. Ya, if this game gets a perfect score, remember I told you.
