Blood Bowl for the XBOX 360 Review

For those of you that aren't familiar with Blood Bowl its basically a fantasy version of American football, played between two teams of 16 players, each team fielding up to 11 players at a time. Touchdowns are scored by taking the ball into the opposition's end zone, and a team can win either by scoring the most touchdowns, or by violently eliminating the other team's entire roster. The game incorporates both real-time and turn-based strategy elements.

Gameplay
Even if you've played Blood Bowl for the table top game you may still have to play out the tutorial to get used to the controls. Start with the command rules. Then there is turn based rules, real time rules and some basic rules as well. Now you are ready for a match. Choose local or XBOX Live when you are ready and the teams are: Humans, Dwarves, Skaven, Orc, Lizardmen, Goblin, Wood Elf and Chaos.

Then you can also pick from:
-One off match: Random teams
-Begin a Campaign: Choose your team, rules type (classic or blitz) and fill team roster.
-Begin a competition: Select cut, select a team and fill team.
-Create a competition: Choose presets, number of teams, rules, championship, season, prizes, cup, etc.
-Load: Campaign or competition

Graphics
The graphics in the Blood Bowl video game are amazing. This is both in the cut scenes and even the in game sprites look like the painted miniatures counterparts.

Conclusion
This game isn't bad except that there is a bit of a load time (longer than most games) and the controls are terrible. The rules also confused me but then again I've never played the table top version of Blood Bowl before. The only good part about this game is the graphics. Do yourselves a favor if you like the table top game than stick with that but don't waste your money on this game for the XBOX 360.

System: XBOX 360 but you can also get it for the PC/PSP/DS
