"Anecdotal"
NFL Blitz 2000 extends Midway's arcade American football: exaggerated player proportions, superhuman tackles and flashy staging, with an updated roster. The art direction favors action readability and spectacular energy, far from any simulation. A nervy, fun art direction, true to the spirit of Midway arcade sports.

"Excellent"
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
The supercharged formula returns with angrier tackles, new special moves and an even more frantic pace. Scoring by chaining crazy passes stays an instant, noisy pleasure. As accessible and deranged as ever, this edition pushes the excess up a notch and guarantees four-player games as tense as they are hilarious.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

Is NFL Blitz 2000 still worth playing in 2026?
A direct sequel to Midway's arcade football, NFL Blitz 2000 refines the formula with an updated roster for the 1999-2000 season, new moves and that same joyfully overblown violence. The essence is unchanged, mad speed, spectacular passes and late tackles, but the whole gains variety and clarity. The technical ageing shows without denting the immediate multiplayer fun. For a fan of unbuttoned American football or a Blitz faithful, the title stays one of the most complete on the console and as cathartic as ever.
