Blitz 20-02 delivers solid game-play and graphics. Judged by the over-the-top benchmark sent by previous entries in this series, though, the game is remarkably sedate.

players can access all 31 NFL teams, a thick playbook and cool codes. The voice samples are first-rate. Each team has three unique plays. Other niceties include a Trivia Mode and field goal practice. Unlike previous Blitz games, though, tackling is as genteel as a tea party: there's no piling on!
