Hut, hut, hut! NFL Tour demo tackles the XBLM

by Dustin Burg { Jan 9th 2008 at 12:45PM }

Are you ready for some non-Madden football that features a much more simplistic control scheme, where you travel the country, play over the top arcade football and make field entrances that rival the WWE's? If so, you can download and check out the new NFL Tour demo that is available on the Xbox Live Marketplace today. The 710MB demo is available to Live members in Canada and the States and should give NFL fanboys a glimpse at what the Tour can offer to fill the non-realistic football niche. Hop in the bus guys, we're going on an NFL Tour ... yeehaw!

Wake me up when NFL Blitz and NBA Jam come back.

Basically NFL Street for the 360, nothing special.

The original NFL Blitz was perhaps the best football game, ever.

True story.

the demo was ho hum. feels like an unlockable in terms of having it as an addon to the Madden series. why can't this stuff be a download only option where you have a client and connect to a server and play multiplayer? EA, this shit is lame. Take it back and make it better.

Another EA piece of crap. Man they just keep it rolling don't they. This game will be in the $9 bin within a month of it coming out.

Usually I just sit back and read these comments, but you guys are not sports fans if you think this game is that bad. This game is very fun and has alot of promise to it. I myself am a Street and Blitz fan, and I think Tour provides me with both of those games with more depth to it. You have to tryout and make it to a real NFL Team, and you need to complete cool challenges vs every single team. The Mini-Games are really addicting, and fun....and its $40! Thats the lowest price EA has ever given for an XBOX 360 Game. I know X3F hates sports games, so I wouldnt expect sports fans on this site. I give this game an 8/10

What a complete and udder waste of the NFL liscence.
Even Madden in my opinion has never been that great and always paled in comparrassion to the 2k series of Football games but EA put a stop to that for awhile didn't they, and we get garbage like this. This game has always tried hard to be kinda like Ea's answer to Blitz but always falls short big in gameplay while overloading us with big headed motion captured ego-maniacs for gamers that want to fantasize about football players that have super human powers and no need for any protective gear. E.A. Sucks the big one again, no shocker.

Haha! Play this demo if you hate your eyes and hands. This is bad. Real bad. Funny thing about bad games, I can't help but think that all the very smart people that made them could put their minds together and cure cancer or something. Hell, cure athletes foot. Like a previous poster said, this will be in the bargain bins by spring. And it still won't be worth it. Bring Tecmo Bowl to the XBLA immediately.
