Quarterback Attack
Reviewed by Dyson Turner
Upon first look Quarterback attack may look like one of the
coolest games ever. I mean you are in the helmet of a real
pro quarterback you call plays you through passes, you do
runs. The graphics are great it has FMV's just like Prize
Fighter and Slam City I mean what more can you ask for? A
lot more is the answer.
Visuals 10/10
Absolutely perfect and wonderful efforts by Digital Pictures
to re create the Quarterback atmosphere. I know first hand
since I played Quarterback on my High School football team
and this is as real as it gets. The only thing missing is
the stink breath of a lineman after the sack, the smell of
hot dogs cooking, and the coach screaming at you after an
interception. Graphically this game wins the Super Bowl as
the most realistic looking football game to date. The
players are large the field looks perfect everything is just great.
Sound 8. 0/10
The sound scores big as well not as much as the graphics but
you do hear authentic football sounds. The roar of the fans,
the sound of you calling the katans before each play, the
realism of the lineman's grunting in front of you. All of
this and more enhance the graphics somewhat and add to the
realistic quarterback experience. The sound department in
general was truly great, and I couldn't ask for more in
either department.
Game Play 1. 5/10
This game is for 1 player only. This is where the game takes
a huge hit that may have it on career injury game shelf.
Well what's wrong with the game? The question is what's
right with the game besides the graphics absolutely nothing.
Once you are amazed for about 10 minutes over how realistic
this looks you will soon find out what's wrong with this
game. Let me tell you what you don't have, no 2 player mode
which has been in every football game In the history of
video games. You can't play defense or special teams. You
only control the quarterback so after you throw the ball
there isn't anything else to do that's right no wide out, no
running back no Tight End no nothing! There is no NFL
license no NFLPA license so no recognizable faces number
names anything. You are always the same team and so is the
defense. The controls are on the bad size as well, there
just about as bad as Prize Fighter and Slam City, the same
problem of going left instead of right is still here, this
is especially difficult in a football game because you might
run right into a defender or interception. The difficulty is
adjustable and their isn't save or password feature.
Overall 5 out of 10
The fun factor and replay value takes a major hit. After
seeing the same video over and over it gets boring, after
beating the same team over and over its gets boring. There
is no season or 2 player so there isn't any reason to keep
playing. This game just isn't much fun after the newness
wears off you might look at it a couple more times after a
while but quickly you will put it away again. If all you
care about is being a quarterback and no defense and special
teams isn't a thing to you than this game and you are a
perfect match. If your like the rest of the world and you
care about NFL Teams Defense NFL Players, playing as other
players on the teams and the quarterback doesn't matter then
go hunt for a more realistic sim.
