NFL Xtreme 2 is a video game developed and published by 989 Studios for the PlayStation in 1999. The cover athlete is Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive tackle John Randle.

Reception[edit]

The game received mixed reviews, albeit a bit more well-received than the first NFL Xtreme, according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[2] John Lee of NextGen said, "Football purists will not be amused. Blitz fans will not be amused. In fact, unless you're looking for a simple diversion and [you] don't mind an erratic playbook, neither will you."[11] The Rookie of GamePro, however, called it "a topnotch [sic] arcade-style football game with enough features, trash-talk, and insane action to get your blood pumping."[13][c]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Four critics of Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the game each a score of 4/10, 2.5/10, 3/10, and 3.5/10.
  2. ^ In GameFan's viewpoint of the game, one critic gave it 82, and the other 73.
  3. ^ GamePro gave the game two 4.5/5 scores for graphics and fun factor, 3.5/5 for sound, and 4/5 for control.
