And you thought a weekend at LT's was tough?

'Street' a hard hit

NFL Street is a 7-on-7 arcade-style experience that celebrates laterals, hard hits and some strategy in order to create high-adrenaline match-ups featuring your favorite NFL stars on beaches and backyards. All seven players play both offense and defense, which adds a lot of strategy to a surprisingly deep game.\nThe game is simple to learn but difficult to master, as it is so fast and frantic that some novice gamers may feel a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of reflexes that are required to keep up with a more experienced player. But after watching it for five minutes their interest will be piqued and they'll want to give it a spin.\nThe game has no field goals or punts, so every drive is all or nothing. The only glaring error in the gameplay is that it is almost impossible to prevent a touchdown, so playing defense seems to depend more on luck than skill. \nWith its NFL Challenge mode and the ability to create teams and players, NFL Street has a lot of replay value. The game is played best with friends, as all the games are quick and intense. You may not be friends after your experience is over, but you all will have a new favorite party game.\nNFL Street is a perfect cure for the impending off-season blues with its basic, high-energy gameplay. Any fan of sports or arcade-style gameplay should give it a look.
