Fun, fun, fun
mitzager | April 9, 2011 | See all mitzager's reviews »Blood Bowl is based on the Warhammer world, and a much more violent American football. The teams are composed of the races that populate the Warhammer univese, like humans, dwarves, dark elves, goblins, chaos, etc.
The game is a turn-based strategy, you have to roll the dice to determine the success/failure of your action in that turn (like in a table top game). It's very difficult to explain the mechanics of the game, you have to play it to see for yourself.
The game features a campaign, where you have to choose your race and create a team and play through some contests and get your way up in the rankings. But I recommend playing with friends via Internet or LAN. The game graphics are okay, specific to the Warhammer universe, but the commentary of the game gets repetitive very quickly.
I recommend this game to everyone, even if they're not fond of Warhammer or American football. You either will love it or hate it.

lots of wasted potential
pazmacats | April 8, 2011 | See all pazmacats's reviews »Bloodbowl was a game I had been looking forward for quite a long time.
I played the tabletop 10+ years ago, then I played Chaos League (which is fun) on the PC and I played the java-based "fumbbl" for some real computer adaption of the boardgame.
This iteration of bloodbowl however leaves a lot to be desired. AI is sort of realtime AI (operating on probabilities) and menu design is awful (tons of useless replays, general unwieldy feel) Graphics are nice, gameplay is ok, most of the rules work and the game can be fun for a while.
The worst problem of this game is the multiplayer which has awful menu design (lobby), awful matchmaking, lots of problems with fake rating, hacks, leavers, etc.
So--- bottomline... hardcore bloodbowl fans won't want to miss this (but ultimately will be dissapointed). Everybody else might want to give this a try, be amused for a couple of hours and put the game to the shelf.
50/100 (19/20 adaption of the original rules) (29/30 graphics&animations) (1/50 gameplay, ease of use, design, single player, mulitplayer etc.)
