ESPN NFL Football comes roaring out of the tunnel and onto the videogame football field with a vengeance. The game-formerly-known-as-NFL-2K has attitude, energy, and more than a few cool new features. Along with big-time infusion of ESPN Sportscenter

First Person Football is the monster addition though. With everything in the gameplay that was updated for 2K4, I don’t know how they found the time to add this big of an addition. First Person Football is a game unto itself, and you get it for free.

The overall gameplay is way smoother than any other NFL 2K game that I have ever played. With that said, the controls are much more responsive. NFL 2K3 was a little clunky when compared to 2K4. When you move a linemen, he moves with ease, and does not

In case you have been under a rock for the last two years, there has been a serious football war brewing between Sega Sports, and the third leading publisher of games, Electronic Arts. While EA clearly has dominated in terms of overall sales, as well as

The online features improve upon last year's cheat fest, so you can assure a fair game online. The first-person mode is boring, despite the polished gameplay. It's nothing more than a novelty. Luckily the solid football series you come to expect from

Onto the game….First thing you notice when loading up, that it starts like a tv program, but not just any tv program but ESPN. The intro is fantastic and much better than NFL Fever and Madden put together, but of course this doesn’t sell a game,

The gameplay in ESPN NFL, while not the most realistic, is still superb, especially when it comes to dealing with the computer AI. The controls are simple and handle extremely well, giving you full control over the player. Timing a juke or stiff arm is

It's a tradition for Sega to always put 100% into their sports franchises. This year is not only no different, but in some ways the biggest stride they've ever made. But is it enough this year to once again be the king of football games? Well, even

It’s football season, which means we have to deal with this year’s onslaught of football titles (we’ve already reviewed Madden 2004, NFL Fever 2004, and NFL Gameday 2004. )
