Coppa says: You'll love the "hit stick," which brings extra pain to every tackle. The gameplay and graphics are so crisp, it seems like you're watching an actual game, and online play for Xbox and PS2 make it the best version yet of this classic franchise.

Captain Hero says: I'm usually too busy saving the world to play video games, but this game is crazy addictive. I began playing and BAM!--two days had gone by. Man, I sure hope that hostage/terrorist situation worked itself out.
