This board game translation is a lot of fun, but it could have been so much more.
Blood Bowl’s drawbacks are such that the board game faithful will grin and bear them simply because the core turn-based strategizing is so good. Each match is a tense, tactical standoff, and the game will keep you up past your bedtime because it’s so hard to pull yourself away. However, the aspects that weren’t culled from the board game–the interface, the commentary, the bizarre real-time matches–feel messy and improvised. Nevertheless, Blood Bowl is good fun, even if it doesn’t deliver on its full potential.
