![]() The first couple of tutorials were interactive with videos depicting what I needed to do to pass and move but unfortunately only covered basic mechanics, to learn the more complex rules I had to wade through pages of text and memorise key points. I soon entered the tutorial mode for some guidance. Whilst I picked up the basics like passing and moving, I was otherwise lost in a world of dice rolls with no idea to why my players were being stomped. The Wood Elves are swift at dodging attacks and have a good ability to throw and catch the ball whereas the Chaos race are big and tough, tearing down anyone that gets in their path.Ĭoming into the game I had no idea of the rules but entered an exhibition match to see if I could learn as I play. There are various ways of reaching the end zone with strategy generally dictated by team and race. GAMEPLAY: As mentioned Blood Bowl is a board game, the goal is to move the ball into the opponents end zone and score touchdowns. I probably heard every line of commentary in just one or two games. Whilst the commentary is a welcome addition, the repetitive nature of said commentary is not. ![]() Every match is voiced by two commentators that are not afraid to share their opinion, the chatter between the squeaky Goblin and a deep throated Orc really add to make the “world” of Blood Bowl feel realistic. SOUND: There are various sounds to be heard in Blood Bowl from crunching tackles to the swish of an elegant dodge but what stands out the most is the comedic commentary. However the game is played from a birds eye view ensuring most blemishes are unseen, ensuring the look of the game is pleasing if not spectacular. Technically the graphics are poor and upon closer inspection do not hold up well compared to the current generation of games. The grass looks rich and the different Warhammer characters found in the game look interesting enough to please your eyes. ![]() GRAPHICS: The graphics in Blood Bowl are colourful and vibrant doing a decent job of presenting the game from afar. What did I think of it then? Read on for the full review. Coming into this review I had never played Blood Bowl the board game which meant I knew little of the rules and would be in for somewhat of a surprise. The game has been brought to the virtual realm of computer games which is always a tricky journey in my experience. Available on: Xbox 360, DS, PSP and PC (Reviewed on Xbox 360)īlood Bowl is originally a Games Workshop two player turn-based board game which plays out a little like American football with a dash of murder thrown in for good measure.
