Take the best qualities of 16 bit madden and 8 bit Tecmo-Bowl, mash them together and you have Legend Bowl. Additionally the customizations are endless. Create your own players, teams, and difficulty levels. Do a quick Google search and you can find NFL rosters of current and past leagues. The cartoony presentation may turn many away, but personally, I think it adds to the enjoyment. The developer hit the sweet spot with arcade-type play and enough simulation and stat-tracking to make an awesome experience. The bottom line is if you liked the early Madden games and a fan of NES Tecmo Bowl, then you will LOVE this game. Highly recommended.
