Blood Bowl DS Re-review
Hi guys,

I just returned from my latest trip and I managed to spend a good length of time with the DS version of Blood Bowl (delayed for 9 hours on the way back - grrr)!

So I thought I would update my initial thoughts on the game.

I am playing a championship and have played my way through 2 seasons and now on the 3rd. Im in the top flight division and thus far have not lost a single match. Anyone who knows me will understand that this is pretty unlikely! :P

So, is it fun? - Yes it is and it is entertaining so we will get that out of the way, but, and its a biggie... It would seen to be geared much more towards novice players.

What is good - The excitement is retained its excellent to have BB on the move

What is bad - The AI that seemed ok in the beginning is actually pretty flawed. They do work to protect the ball with cages but there have been a number of times where I have confounded the AI and they have basically given away their turn without taking any actions.

The isometric view point is actually quite difficult specially if you are playing as a small team or if your oppo has a number of Big Guys. In a number of matches I have missed players who are hidden behind others and its caused turnovers due to failed unforced dodges etc.

No Undead... we knew this for a long time before the game came out but even so the decision still annoys me.

Is it worth getting - I think so, it is entertaining and it certainly fills some time on flights etc. If there are two of you multi player is possible... I think even on one DS but wi-fi is in there too. So the AI issues would be removed.

Ok done!

7/10 for Cyanide.

Thanks for this. My PC is useless so there is no point in getting the PC version but both of my girls have DS's so I'm seriously considering buying a copy. Cheers.

Hey Bobba... its worth noting that the handheld version only have the turnbased version. This is the only way I would want to play on the PC so I didnt mention it above but dont want you to get confused about the fact that only turn based and not real time play is available. :P
