The Arena Football League is back with more than 40 teams and more than double the excitement in Arena Football: Road To Glory by EA SPORTS. For the first time, play as any of your favorite AFL or af2 teams and experience the hard-hitting, high-scoring intensity of 50-yard goaline-to-goaline battles.

Arena Football: Road To Glory PS2I have a X-Box system and the AFL version from that system, has great graphics, but lets you play only the current Arena Football League's teams.The same version in Play Station 2, lets you play in both leagues, the Arena Football League and the af2 league, so you can play with more than forty teams from both leagues. The graphics are outstanding, and the style of play is very smooth. So you can play the Albany Firebirds, San Jose Sabercats,Chicago Rush,or play the Albany Conquest, Tulsa Talons or the Green Bay Blizzard of the af2.I purchased a PS2, just for this game and I love it. I also love arena foot ball so the two league play is a plus to play with. If you love football check out this game on PS2 and you will not be disappointed with the results. The game of Arena Football is slig htly different from the outdoor game, like 8 vs 8 football players, and the rebound nets next to the goal posts, and the walls are inbounds if a ball bounces off of them, fast paced and high scoring game of Arena Football. To play it seems like you are there.

Complete with the cheerleaders and indoor fireworks, check out this fantastic game. 5 out of 5 stars. Thanks, PatchesByGunny.

To some sports fans, March means college hoops and spring training, but to the overwhelming majority of them, March means nothing less than the start of another Arena Football season. If you're like me, it's a time to fasten the proverbial seat belt and get ready for five months of intense eight-on-eight action. Ok, just kidding. But the folks at EA aren't. Is the follow-up to last year's indoor football PS2 debut.

This year's version offers a little more punch than last year's game, but is that enough to get anyone other than game reviewers to notice? Road to Glory will hit you as somewhere between Madden and NFL Street, with maybe a dash of some of the older Blitz games tossed in.

The AFL isn't the NFL. It's an eight-on-eight game played indoors on a fifty-yard field. If you're expecting a Madden-like experience, prepare to be, well, maddened.

Balance between the passing game and the rushing game? Don't think about it. Last season, the top rusher in the league, Dane Krager, ran for 197 yards. That's for the season - not one game. This is an air-it-out league, clean and simple.

Sound shapes community. Once you figure out that you're not going to win this thing by grinding it out on the ground, you get to deal with a standard set-up where you choose the play and use an icon-based passing scheme to hit your intended receiver. It's bare bones compared to what you may be used to in terms of playbook depth, but with the quirky rules of the sport - the ability to catch balls off of the ceiling-high netting in the end zone for a TD, for example - you will be tempted to try a goofball variation of just about every play. Last year's game offered the chance to play as the receiver to let you see how good you were at running pass routes.

This year, this experience is amped up (though not necessarily in a good way) by also letting you control the quarterback while controlling the receiver. On paper, it's a cool concept: Play as two guys at the same time. In reality, it's a nightmare.

First off, you'd need two sets of eyes to be able to keep track of what's happening. Secondly - and even more biologically challenging - is that even if you did manage to sprout an extra set of eye balls, you'd still need to grow an extra left thumb, because the receiver is mapped to the left stick and the QB is mapped to the directional pad.

Ideally, you'd be able to use the two sticks to try to bang away in this mode. Things get more interesting on the other side of the ball. And I'm not sure that that's a good thing. For a league that prides itself on offense, I found playing defense to be the most fun and challenging part of the game. First off, though, you'll have to unlearn everything you know about playing defense. To make the game passing-friendly, the role of the linebacker has been restricted greatly. The 'Mac' linebacker can only blitz between the center and the offensive linemen and can't just simply run around the outside.

There's also a mess of rules dictating when he can leave 'the box' - a square that's the width of the defensive linemen's shoulders and that drops back five yards. It can be confusing and you will get called for a ton of penalties while you try to figure out just what the heck your LBs can - and cannot - do.
