Hardcore fanatics of the boardgame will not enjoy the game, as they will feel that they are not allowed to make any decisions regarding their own teams, but those who are just after some mindless fun in a fantasy world will find this game to be interesting and new.

So aren't there any positive aspects to this game? Yes, there are - in a manner of speaking.

The teams you control are the most famous teams in the Warhammer universe: The Underworld Creepers, The Gouged Eye and Dwarf Giants, to name a few. Blood Bowl is one of the best boardgames ever made this is your chance to play the same game on your PC. If you have come to look at this game, chances are you're a fan of the boardgame - and so am I.
