NFL Blitz for Sony PlayStation 1 is an arcade-style football video game that deviates from traditional simulations. Developed by Midway Games and released in 1998, it belongs to the sports genre, specifically American football. NFL Blitz features exaggerated, high-octane gameplay with fewer rules, aggressive tackles, and fast-paced action. Players can choose from authentic NFL teams and compete in 7-on-7 matches that emphasize big plays and over-the-top animations, rather than the strategic and realistic approach of conventional football games. It's known for its accessibility and fun, pick-up-and-play mechanics.
