Electronic Theatre delivers an in-depth review of the PC version of THQ, Focus Home Interactive and Cyanide Studios' Blood Bowl videogame adaptation, recently released in the UK.

The Tutorial introduces the player to the basics of the gameplay through six brief events, not nearly enough to tackle even the easy difficulty. It’s with some patience and a lot of trail-and-error that the player will find their feet. Each team plays differently, and each player type within each team will have different strengths and weaknesses. The Skaven rat-men are quick and nimble, allowing them to dodge them opposing team’s attempts to trip them with a more likely positive outcome, while the Chaos are slow and brutish, easily creating blocking walls but often failing to catch runaway balls. Add into this spells, bribes and randomly generated kick-off events, and there’s a lot to contend with.
