It's an all right game. It's more for the arena fans, I enjoy it, but it could be better.

Great gameplay, but lacking a little something

In terms of the football part I love the game completly. I wish there were play by play commentators and that there was more depth in the season mode. But I do love this game in terms of the actual gameplay.

Fun alternative to Madden and NCAA

Fun game that takes a little time getting used to if you are not familiar with the Areana Football League and its rules. The games are usually close due to the short field and come down to the last play. A great 2-player game.

The game was purchased as a Christmas gift for a nephew who lives out of state. While he visited here Christmas week, I haven't heard as yet how well he likes or dislikes the game. The numbers applied above are only to submit the review and have no real bearing on the game.

I got this game a while back from JR got here very fast. when i got it i played for hours and hours... then days and days this game is so much fun. the players have their actual names which came as a little suprise to me because it's not one of the biggest of sports. i just one minor probelm which was the ability to tackle. i go to wrangler games sometimes and it is a lot easier to tackle people which isn't really a bad thing. otherwise it was very good on offense where your lucky to get a big run (unless you created a player which is fun) and the offense is really pass based. another feature i liked was that you can create your own team they can either be basically all created or a fantasy team which allows you to create your own dream team (all as under cap) this game was extremly fun and proves that arena football will end up being the next big thing... go wranglers

Arena Football by EA Sports is one of the most fun sports video games I have ever played. Being an avid AFL fan, I was going to be more of a stickler for rules, gameplay, and overall presentation than most people, but this effort by EA is one worth commending. This game is truly a good representation of what the AFL is all about. The gameplay is faster than madden, the playbook likens to that of a real AFL team, and all the little details that make the AFL great are included.

One of the best features about the game is the "control the reciever" function. Before the snap, you can select which reciever you want to control by scrolling through them with the "B" button, and you can run your route and break it off when neccesary. One thing you have to be aware of is the time frame to throw the ball. In the AFL, there is a certain window of opportunity to throw the ball and once it's gone, you might as well throw the ball away. The hits over the wall are like the AFL, and the after play animations will appeal to a younger audience as well.

All the teams are in the game, including over 30 historical AFL teams such as the New Orleans Night, who's uniforms liken themselves to Zubaz. The gameplay, season mode, and overall representation of the AFL is very good in this game. While the lighting in the game is more like a rock concert, there is still plenty of visibility on the field. Overall the pyrotechnics combined with razzle dazzle play that is the AFL makes for a great game, that will not only fill the appetite for AFL fans, but definitly drag in the casual fan.

Arena Football Finally Has A Game To Be Proud Of - Gravity Press

With Arena Football, EA Sports has officially declared it's domination of the football game market. Not just becuase they make every licensed football game, but because this one is good. The feel of Arena Football couldn't have been captured any better than it has been with this game.

The game feels like Arena Football right off the bat. The field is smaller, the teams are smaller, the uprights are smaller, you're chances of having a successful running game are smaller. Yes, this is Arena Ball at it's finest. Fun passing plays makes up the majority of this one and a unique kicking meter is the telltale difference between this and Madden. The play is arcadish, but remains true to the AFL, by keeping all of the game's rules intact.

The game has it's flaws though. The kicking can be hard to adjust to, or even succeed at without some practice, and season mode is a litte bare bones. As a matter of fact, almost the whole game is. The only modes of play consist of quick play, season, and practice. No tournaments or minigames. The create a player/team is decent work but it's nothing amazing.

So while the game is a little lacking in meat, it makes up for it through a ton of entertainment value, especially when you hit that 49-yard, off the net, hail mary pass to beat your friend as the clock winds down. Only Arena Football could give you that.
