    The word “arcade” is like Kryptonite to the “sim” or “straight-up” football gamer. For years, the sports gaming elite have looked down their noses at the over-the-top, Read more

  2. It's hardly as deep or satisfying as Madden, but this iron-man extravaganza is high scoring arcade fun.

    But as we've said, this isn't a game of depth. This is quick football satisfaction and little else. Against a few friends over the weekend, Arena Football is an excellent diversion, but it won't replace Madden or even NFL 2K5 until the weather turns cold again. Read more

    Arena Football features all of the basic gameplay modes you'd expect from an EA Sports game. You can practice, play a quick game, participate in a season, and play online. The season mode is bare bones, allowing to only control the most basic aspects of your team. Since most people don't know much about AFL players, the lack of in-depth personnel management isn't a huge loss, but certainly more could have been done here. From a customization standpoint, the game has... Read more

    Borrowing from the Madden franchise, EA Sports’ newest gridiron addition takes on many of the same styles, but takes place completely indoors. Unfortunately, it is easy to tell that Arena Football is in its infancy graphically, as the player models and arenas are really not all that spectacular. In fact, every stadium is the same, and only the text and graphics on the scoreboard and field actually change, making the game a bit boring visually. Read more

    Arena Football promises big hits and lots of action, but will the game score, or does it fumble? Read more

    Arena Football never really had a proper console treatment. Kurt Warner's Arena Football game had little to do with the actual sport and had many accusing it of ripping off Blitz. So it was intriguing that EA was finally making a game about the ... Read more
