Witty voice-overs are infused with cartoonish themes to achieve a fun-loving atmosphere. It'll enrage you, but as soon as you find your niche team, the game flows brilliantly.

you know how people yell at the TV when football makes an appearance? That translates to its fantasy variant.

This is a strange concept for most gamers, but bear with me here. You have to be prepared to get mad at Blood Bowl. Some of it was balance, some of it was how I wanted to play the game. They fit my style brilliantly, and soon the AI was no match for my catcher-to-thrower positioning. After giving up on the halflings, I decided to try once more with another race - High Elves.

I alt-f4'd frequently, trying to comprehend why some things had changed between the board game and the PC version. My first date with Blood Bowl didn't go well. Balance issues come perilously close to rendering some teams unusable in competitive online play incompetent AI (how often have I said that in a review?) sometimes freezes, even with the ball in its possession and visual glitches drag an otherwise hilarious game down. The concept of the game is all well and good, but execution is haphazard. There's a lot of content to be had with Blood Bowl - sadly, I feel like most of it will be overlooked by the non-die-hards. Playing in the crypts of the undead, the tundra of the north, and atop the poop-deck are just a few of the environments. There's nothing better than when a prancing elf gets clotheslined by an orc.ДЄccompanying the eleven new races, tutorial, campaigns, and Blood Bowl story, are nine total stadia (three are unique to Legendary Edition). Surrounding the ball-bearer with brutish linebackers and orc fodder in a strong-armed march up the field almost always works (if your positioning is right). We all inevitably feel sluggish and brain-dead at times - and those times are best suited for goblinoid teams. High Elves have the best throwers at lowest level, often coming with additional passing abilities. It's a big risk to send players out to the far corners of the opposing half, but those risks pay off when nimble catchers receive the ball, then sprint it into the end zone for a touchdown.

Throwers find their groove with gamers who prefer to go all-in this was my favorite style of play throughout the course of the campaign. These teams are best represented by the Lizardmen and Wood Elves. Teams that have particularly agile participants will find themselves charging the end zone in desperate attempt to score a touchdown, ducking and weaving through enemy linemen.

The strategy varies with each team, but there are three fundamental play styles: runners, throwers, and brute-force. Each team takes turns positioning their units (linebackers, throwers, catchers, so on), and more often than not, a downed player causes a turnover (that is, if one of your players gets tripped on his way past a halfling, the opposing team now gets to play). A real-time mode is present for RTS fans, ensuring fast-paced play and some amount of micromanagement, but the dominant mode of play is turn-based. There are no winners, only survivors.'Дespite omnipresent blood stains on the pitch, Blood Bowl is a strategic game of back-and-forth ball possession (not to be confused with The Ball possession, awesome in its own right). As one of the game's comical announcers elegantly notes: 'Blood Bowl is like war. Getting tackled is the least of your players' worries when they are constantly abstaining from a future as elvish piГ±atas don't let the gory fun detract from the games basic touchdown, though. The quarterback doesn't just get sacked - he gets pulverized - run through by a six-hundred pound ogre, which then proceeds to trample the downed player until he is either benched or forever entombed. The orcs, elves, and other races easily deviate the game from the likes of Madden, furthered more by its use of NFL Blitz-like gameplay. The quintessence of Blood Bowl is American Football: there's a ball, you score touchdowns, and you clobber people to do so.

The original board game never took itself seriously, although that would seem required when dealing with real fantasy football. Blood Bowl proudly takes root in the Warhammer 'verse, initially released over two decades ago.
