Blitz the League II
common sense media says
Bloody extreme football than can be skipped.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this isn't your typical football simulation game. The game is a highly exaggerated take on the sport featuring extremely bloody hits, drugs used for enhancing performance, and characters who continue to play the game even with broken bones. Characters smoke, drink, swear, do drugs, and deliberately attempt to hurt one another. Some in-game challenges even revolve around maiming opponents. Females appear in miniskirts with thong underwear only to be spanked by players during touchdown celebrations. Players are rewarded for landing dirty hits and can then pummel fallen opponents causing blood to spray from their faces; large hits cause blood to splatter on the game screen. Players will hear near constant foul language. Parents should also be aware that this title can be played online, and as always, the interactions with other players can be far from a safe environment for young gamers. The game does not feature real world NFL Teams or players thanks to licensing issues.
Educational value:
The only redeeming educational aspect of this title would be the knowledge of football gained. Otherwise, players could learn that the only way to be good at sports is to take enhancing drugs and hurt players.
Violence:
Football is a violent sport, and this takes it to the extreme with dirty hits involving facemask grabbing, punching, and kicking. Players are rewarded for landing dirty hits and can then pummel fallen opponents causing blood to spray from their faces; large hits cause blood to splatter on the game screen. Landing particularly powerful hits forces the game camera to zoom into an internal body view which then shows bones, skulls, and even testicles snapping in a violent bloody display.
Sex:
Players take on girlfriends in the game who allude to favors they can perform, and imply they've been intimate with an entire football team. Cheerleaders in the game are scantily clad, and females appear in miniskirts with thong underwear only to be spanked by players during touchdown celebrations.
Language:
Near constant foul language both in game cutscenes and during gameplay. It's not uncommon to hear f--k, s--t, a--hole multiple times in a period as short as twenty seconds.
Consumerism:
No real world products appear, however there are in-game sponsorships that aid your team with stat increases to make you play better.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
All characters can be administered drugs both legal and illegal during the game, and drugs are used to override broken bones and make the players continue to play even when hurt. Cutscenes feature characters drinking alcohol, smoking, and even adding drugs to another characters drink without that character being aware.

Jeff Paramchuk is an idiot and has never played the game.
Blitz the League 2 is a very violent game and should not be played if you are under age. However, this type of game does appeal to the teenage group and young adult group that like those violent games like Modern Warfare 3 and Skyrim. Blitz 2 puts more violence in an already violent sport, but it is very entertaining for that certain age group. Whether you buy this game for your child is up to you, but make sure if you do that he is the appropriate age for the game.
