Well balanced, has a surprising amount of strategic depth, but its also the right amount of silly. Jerry Rice's voice acting significantly adds to the experience. I love when Jerry Rice categorically tells me that I lose the coin flip at the start of the game. If you play this game, you will know what I mean
Only downside is that it takes a long time to unlock the characters, but playing the game is so fun that the long time is ok. Playing the game is more fun with a friend but for some reason I can't convince anyone to play with me. Your guess is as good as mine.
