The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A loud, chaotic rush of bone-crunching football where rules don't exist and every hit feels like a freight train.

About

The NFL Blitz 20-02 incarnation promises deeper gameplay, more animations, better AI, more mini-games, and even harder hits. Still focusing on its roots of hard-hitting football action with no rules whatsoever, the game hopes to hit the consoles as hard as its players hit each other.
