    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

    All the general rules and fast-paced AFL action is present and accounted for in this game so fans of arena football will have a lot to cheer about with Arena Football for the PS2. While it certainly lacks in the game mode department and the presentation can be a bit disappointing at times, the games plays great and does a great job of bringing us a good sense of what Arena football is all about.

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
