:evil: I would so get another Mutant League football game in a heartbeat, however the board game still looks awesome and might be worth checking out sans a console.

Why exclude online features on a console that supports online features? That's one of the reasons it's called XBOX FUCKING LIVE!!!!!!
complete bullshit. Way to ruin an awesome board game.
I'm still waiting for a new mutant league. :P
-
I really don't understand why Blood Bowl would REMOVE online play. It's not like it never had it - the 360 version took a feature and consciously removed it. I have no idea what the producers were thinking.

Well seems to be GW's way of working lately. They tend to screw up just about everything they make or do it feels like to most gamers these days. But really if anyone wants the game you can get it on the GW website

I have this game on the PC and like it. Picked it up because I liked the Warhammer fantasy universe... and orks playing football are just hilarious.
I personally don't really like the turn-based mode. See, that reminds me.
Joe, why'd ya not mention the real-time mode? Less planning and more stomping on enemy players! Or is it not that good to be mentioned?
Anyway, yet another good review.

It was written in that it sucked.

Whoa! Don't cry man... we love you. Even if you try to hit on stringless puppet girls. lol wha? @_@
-
03.11.2010 - 01:04 | DezedorHad this on PC. It was entertaining at first. Looked great, sounded great, comedic commentators and lots of funny moments.
BUT I have never before had a game, which grows SO old. Unless you play against other people every match is pretty much the same.
It is a good recreation of the boardgame, but i doesn't have the boardgame-feel to it, which makes boardgaming awesome.
In the end; buy the boardgame.

03.11.2010 - 01:22 | CarrionRocWhat about Chaos League?
-
03.11.2010 - 01:35 | Lord AdamyteWell, now I just feel like painting some miniatures... or playing some Mutant League.

Awesome Review. Football and Chess, the two things I never thought I'd see together in my life. Hooray for the Angry Joe Show.
-
03.11.2010 - 01:37 | Jka333I always wanted to try blood bowl (the board game) cause it looked pretty cool. And I'm already into 40k. There all pretty awesome hobbies!
The video game looks good! Except the lack of customization and online play for the XBXL version. Thats bull!
It's seems that GW has been slapping their customers in the face quite a lot these days. Contempt for their customers indeed!
Good video man.

03.11.2010 - 02:14 | TrencherGreat review, Personally I hope for a mordheim game for ps3.
-
03.11.2010 - 03:08 | WolfCryer
Wow, never actually expected this to be reviewed... all right Joe ^_^
I'm really bummed that the game apparently isn't good it all. Still considering buying the pc version though.
And I have a real itch for playing the board game now, hope my lizards are still up for it :)
-
03.11.2010 - 03:26 | NejiraHeh, great review. I always enjoyed Bloodbowl. You can play it online against other players from around the world at: http://fumbbl.com/
It plays like the boardgame just with a virtual board and minatures.
-
03.11.2010 - 03:26 | Shinigami
Ah yes, Blood Bowl. Its classic board game. By the way Joe. Have you tried DS version?
-
consoles are dying... nobodies wants them. pc is better faster,stronger and faster. and stronger...and they can has porn... and mods.
and only pc gamers has girlfriends.
so who the fuck cares about bad ports? in the future all games will be pc exclusives.
-
03.11.2010 - 19:24 | GozarYeah, and enjoy your windows blue screen when your computer crashes mid game because you have a Trojan virus and once you reboot, reformat, and reinstall windows on your computer... you find out that because of Drm you have used up all the installs for your beloved pc game so you can no longer play it.
-

PC version ain't all that much better. Then again, I only played the Real-time mode, I don't have the patience for Turn-based stuff.
Prob'ly missing loads by not playing Turn-based...

It's the first time I watch one of your videos and the only reason why I did is because you were talking about Blood Bowl. More than that, I skipped most of the vid because I was hoping you would explain the board game live.
Unfortunately you just went through the game.
I love board games, but Blood Bowl is one I haven't got a chance to play.
Have you played Heroscape?
Dungeon Twister?
Great games.

03.11.2010 - 18:40 | AngryJoeShow[b]Dude your kinda a dick. Just wanted you to know that.[/b] :huh:
-
03.11.2010 - 22:32 | GalivenMan, that's rude. At least have the courtesy to watch the video, and if you don't watch it, don't admit that you didn't! Joe puts a lot of time into these, and it shows. This is a review, not a Let's Play.
By the way, Joe, I LOVED the epic death metal over such extreme sports as chess! I laughed so hard, I think I scared my roomate. Keep the comedy coming!

May I ask why you only gave the PC game 5/10?
I think it's fantastic, follows the board game so very well, interface is much more manageable, it updates regularly and has even added an extra race (for free, none of this crappy add-on packs), and ofcourse you can play online!
It has everything you'd want from a Blood Bowl game, I can't see why you rated it so low..
Hell even the commentary in the game is Golden! (albeit abit repetitive after 50 games).
The only thing I can complain about is the damn LOADING TIMES! DX< lol.
God I can't believe how much they destroyed the Xbox version tho.. T... That leaves me speechless.
-
03.11.2010 - 18:42 | AngryJoeShow[b]The PC game is an Average game, a 5/10 on my scale isnt the death sentence it is for other games.
It gets boring after while, the commentary is annoying, the pause screen options are a joke, it doesnt retain my interest as well as the boardgame does (i guess it looses something when it goes virtual). It was a wasted opportunity to innovate with the real-time mode, etc.
An Average Game that appeals to a limited number of people - I'd say I got the rating pretty spot on.[/b]

I'll play Madden any day. And...elves have no place on the football field against a bunch of orcs, that was awkward to see lol.
-
03.11.2010 - 06:20 | Simbad84I used to play this boardgame! Orcs ftw!

I was really hoping to get the 360 version, since I loved the original board game. I ran a Skaven team, and was pretty good with them. But wow, that's just surprising how much stuff they stripped out of the port to the 360.
I might pick up the PC version though, but probably not for a while.
-
03.11.2010 - 06:35 | ph8enix
I don't like, what happened to BB and the X-Box community.
But I'm glad that there is a PC Game which was stripped down for the consoles. Typically it's the opposite.(AvP 2010, SupCom 2...etc)

03.11.2010 - 06:42 | Robster
Why do I recognise the intro music?
-
03.11.2010 - 06:58 | WerminIt's a board game? Oh come on!
It should be like madden with orcs and stuff.
-
03.11.2010 - 07:40 | UCGav
TBH Playing FUMBBL is a better experience than the BB game on X-Box live and thats just a java client version.
Props though Joe, never expected you to be a Warhammer fan ;). Even if it is just Bloodbowl.
-
03.11.2010 - 07:44 | MightyDavidsonI looked up some information on the PC game. No special play cards means no purchase from lil old me.
-
03.11.2010 - 18:44 | AngryJoeShow[b]Good catch![/b] ;)

03.11.2010 - 08:25 | Zaiphyer
Well Joe, it was published by southpeak games ... and everyone knows southpeak and everyone associated with them sucks >.>
