6.5/10
The looks, the sounds, the modern control use, the light touches of humor, Legend Bowl really does deliver on the past. It just doesn’t do enough to make the past match my nostalgia for it.

Breath of Fresh Air for Sports Gaming
Legend Bowl combines NFL 2K, Classice PS2 Madden, and customization in order to provide a solid gaming experience. The franchise has just enough depth to keep one interested, gameplay is smooth and rewards stick skills, and ratings matter. No need to play another title. Can't wait for College Bowl to drop too!

Great Game
A nostalgic experience with newer features and gameplay. I'm surprised no one made a game like this years ago. The editing is so much fun and deep. Worth a try and in my opinion a buy.

I like this
What a fun game, it's got a suprising amount of depth to it as well. Lots of customization but you can't change player names.
