Blast Lacrosse [U] ISO
Description :
The first ever lacrosse video game on any console!
You'd better be playing a pretty ballsy sport if you're going to dare to call hockey players all wusses. But if you've mastered the Crosse and have gotten your fair share of turf in your craw, you've earned that priv. For the first time ever, videogaming is turning to one of the fastest and most physical sports off the ice for a game that delivers every check like those helmets still need testing. Blast Lacrosse comes on full force with gameplay straight out of NBA Jam and NFL Blitz--lightning-quick gameplay, brutal hits, no rules worth mentioning, fired-up turbo powers, killer special moves, and whipping graphic flash.
Providing the perfect combination of hard-hitting and fast-paced action, Blast Lacrosse captures the uncaged fury of professional indoor lacrosse. The game features all 9 National Lacrosse League teams as well as NLL players, uniforms, and mascots. Also find exciting game modes, full NLL rosters, an intuitive control scheme, and color commentary from sports talk radio host Scott Farrell. Get ready for the fastest sport on two feet!

I'm going to just be up front about this: You're going to have to really
want to like this game to have fun with it. Otherwise, it probably
won't be worth your time.
Blast Lacrosse, as of September 2004, holds the distinction of the only lacrosse video game ever made. It was created in 2001 and represents the (then) 9-team roster of the National Lacrosse League, which is played indoors. Half the teams in this game no longer exist in their then-current incarnation, but that's just how small leagues go.
Gameplay takes a little getting used to, mostly the passing and ball control aspects. Checking is simple--just run up to anyone, anytime, and hit circle. Odds are your opponent will then hit the deck. Not much to that. Ball control, though, is where things are a little tricky, since the midfield can get very congested with opponents and fallen bodies, and it takes some skill to get a sure shot at the goalie. To make things simple on yourself, set the difficulty down to easy and play a few arcade games against the Albany Attack. They're as slow as molasses--it's very easy to catch up to and subsequently deck them when they try to fast break. Try to execute strafing turbo shots and one-timers (quick pass from one side of the goalie to the other immediately followed by a shot) to score goals--anything else is just a (generally unlucky) roll of the dice. Once you start pounding Albany fairly easily and get your confidence and skills up, take on other teams and maybe a season. Don't just dive into the game unprepared and start a normal season--you'll probably get slaughtered, and that's no fun for anyone.
The graphics are passable. Good? Not really, no. But they function, and that's all we're really going for here. Players are 100% indistinguishable from one another. The ball is easy to see, provided someone hasn't fallen right on it. Nothing to write home about, but nothing that'll make you cringe, either.
The sound is okay. I personally like the announcer, but I can see how he'd be completely hit-or-miss. The sound effects are good. Not much else to write about.
Replay value is decent. I like sports games and I don't mind replaying sports games for the simple sake of replaying them. Plus, there are bonuses to be had, and who doesn't like bonuses?
All in all, I like this game. If this were a hockey game, I'd probably ignore it since it'd be nothing really groundbreaking--but this is lacrosse. The first game of its kind. You can't really turn somewhere else for a lacrosse video game, so you might as well come here. I bought it for nine bucks, and that number seems just about right to me. This is a game made on the cheap, so don't expect it to be a grand epic sports adventure. If you just go into it wanting to have some goofy, overly violent indoor lacrosse fun you'll be fine. But for heaven's sake, turn down the difficulty at first. I was serious about that.
