Troy Aikman NFL Football

Wegen der schlechten Sound- und Grafikqualität und der schwierigen Spielregeln wird "Troy Aikman NFL-Football" in Deutschland nur bei echten Footballfreaks ein Hit werden. In den USA wird das wahrscheinlich anders aussehen.

The most frustrating part of this game is the fact that --- even though it's a new release --- the Jaguar Troy Aikman Football uses state from the 1993-94 season. My guess is that most gamers would rather have waited another month or so for up-to-date player ratings. I want to see Drew Bledsoe's and Steve Young's incredible 94-95's statistics! That minor criticism aside, this football game is a good one. You'll find no surprises or earth-shattering enhancements, but the features make this one worth taking a look at.

Despite seeing this on the other systems, I am really surprised at the improvements in this version. The game doesn't get better if the control is still sloppy. You still get lost in the pile, not knowing where to run to. I like the new Play Selection Accelerator and Clock Management feature which makes it more realistic. This one is still disappointing.

Despite some tantalizing innovations, Troy Aikman Football sits in favor of better-crafted 16-bit games, including Troy's own clones. Looks like the top Cowboy rides the pine this year.

Jaguar owners dying for a football simulation can do better by picking up Madden or numerous other superior titles. Unless, of course, the Jag is the only system in your household, in which case it's the best 64-bit football game on the market -- by default.

Frankly, Troy Aikman Football has no redeeming qualities at all. The game's single original feature, the ability to adjust player salaries (during the game no less) is utterly idiotic. Atari's poorly written manuals are usually good for a laugh, and this one is no exception.
