Image: MobyGames

Joe Montana Football


Genre: sports - football

Publisher: Sega

Year: 1990

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Nice fluid gameplay. Responsive movement. Simplified play calling like the Tecmo games. Just pick one of 4 plays. Passing is interesting. You have to cycle through the your options like a quarterback would I suppose. It works well enough. You have to be hit or hit really hard to take someone down which is nice. This results in a lot of big plays.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

Only exhibition. Can turn off penalties for an arcade mode but that's the only option. Pick up and play only. No frills


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

No NFL or NFLPA license. Only 16 no name teams. The quotes and suggestions from Joe Montana give the game a lot of personality.


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

Simple graphics but they move well so nothing to gripe about.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

Annoying music but good sound effects.


Overall Score: 62

Review ID: 1001
