‘Blitz: The League II’ Zooms In On Breaking Bones

Midway’s Blitz franchise will never be able to compete with Madden on NFL realism, so thankfully it doesn’t even try. The sequel, Blitz: The League II (Xbox 360, PS3), goes even more absurd than the original with a new bone-breaking injury mode. Players can specifically target a spot on an opponent to injure in a new button-mashing mini-game'time it right, and you get a cinematic close-up of your opponent’s bones shattering (or shoulder dislocating, or muscle tearing, etc). Word is, there’s even a ball-crushing feature…literally. Ouch.

Blitz II ships on October 13. We’ve got an interview with NFL great Lawrence Taylor on the game coming soon, so in the meantime, watch the vicious new Blitz II trailer below…
