About Brutal Sports - Football
So, you like chipped teeth more than chip shots. Alley gangs more than alley-oops. And in your most honest moments, you gotta admit that football is just a little boring.
Wake up and smell the blood. Spectrum HoloByte proudly throws the first punch in the Brutal Sports Series, a new line of futuristic sports simulations created by Millenium. Introducing Beastball, a rowdy ride through the football of tomorrow. Eight teams of man-made mutants, each with their own skills, duke it out for the league title and the Beastball Championship. Pit your favorite team against a human or computer opponent in the arena. And when the door slams shut, heads are gonna roll. Literally.
It's 2089, and a strip of dirt in a pit is home to the game, a fast sport guaranteed to churn the blood. Superb animations and sounds capture all the hits of slambang comedy. And they're really slambang. Stomp the other guy? You catch a cannonball. Try to run out of bounds? You suck wall. Leap high for a kick and you get skewered. The object: put the ball in the goal. How you do it is up to you.
Beastball. Football with a new set of rules. No rules.
* One or two players.
* League or Championship play.
* Special weapons and skills for each team.
* Combatant regenerator after each match.
* Laughs. Blood.

This version seems kind of weird to play but I recommend to try it anyway. And then try Sega Genesis version "Beast Ball". This game shows a good example how real football video game should be done - no boring interuptions, pure action and fun. If you like games like this - try Pigskin 621 A.D.10 found this helpful
Brutal Sports - Football is an ancient game from 1993. It's a whopping 30 years old at the time of this review. The game lacks support for any modern gaming display resolutions (or widescreen monitors), hasn't been modernised or updated to run smoothly on modern gaming PCs. Despite this lack of modernisation, it carries a pretty high price tag for such an ancient game. This seems to have been put on Steam as a nostalgia gouge, or just a cash grab to try profit from abandonware. Brutal Sports was just a C-Grade thematic ripoff of Blood Bowl (amazing Games Workshop didn't sue), essentially a badly done Commodore Amiga level gridiron/American Football game with slightly more violence... it wasn't a great game then, and today, well it's a joke. At least it would be if it wasn't for the appalling nostalgia gouging coming from the shady publishers who got their hands on this. This game is so old it runs in DOSBOX and doesn't take advantage of hardware acceleration. It has a dated control scheme, dated graphics, and runs poorly due to the DOSBOX emulation. While DOSBOX is a fine tool for those seeking retro gaming, it's not really appropriate for ancient abandonware like this to …8 found this helpful

The concept is okay, though the implementation is super janky and cryptic. You have no idea where the guy you are is on the field if it is off-screen. Also, what game punishes you from passing by having the CPU murder the passing player to the point if the offensive fails, you have one less dude against the enemy's whole team. It is as if the football itself is a sideshow attraction here. At worst you only have your goal keeper and your captain left that cannot be murdered.
