NFL Football for SNES
Review #372
NFL Football
Konami's folly
Gameplay
Must wait for the computer to pick a play. why?
5 FPS no joke
Insta tackle when you get anywhere near opponents
Passing game is atrocious. Hike ball and screen zooms out wide. Disorienting since frame rate is so bad. Throw but pressing and holding the button but sometimes it doesn't throw at all. Barely any time so sacks are common.
Impossible to catch the ball. The camera switches from side view to downfield view with ball coming toward you and you have to turn around to catch it. I think? I could only catch maybe one on ten throws.
Level Design
Exhibition and season
Play selection is easy
Theme
NFL license
The play by play is cool and can be turned off
Art Style
Utterly disgusting.
Player models are ok but very pixelated. They are tall compared to something like Madden, but they look horrible in motion. Actually there framerate is so poor that I wouldn't even call it motion.
Even the field itself is a pixelated mess.
The camera's constant zooming and rotation is disorienting and highlights the poor graphics
Audio
The Konami logo intro is one of the iconic audio experiences of the 16 bit era. Like the 20th Century Fox and Lucasfilm logos from the 80s. It's awful to hear it in games like this which were outsourced. It sounds like crap here which is an indicator of what is to come.
A constant voice over on every play is novel. I'll bet this ate up so many resources that the FPS and gameplay were sacrificed.
