    FEATURES

    Blood Bowl Dark Elves Edition is the video game adaptation of Games Workshop's famous board game.

    A brutal team sport unfolding in a parallel fantasy world based on Warhammer and American football, Blood Bowl Dark Elves Edition invites gamers to form a team of players from such races as Orcs, Wood Elves, Humans, Dwarfs and other fantasy creatures who launch themselves into battle in the bloodiest of arenas.

    This strategy sports game combines a fine balance of tactics and bonecrunching action! The new edition of this game includes a whole new race available ingame: the deadly and remorseless Dark Elves! Along with their own Star Player, the Dark Elves combine the dexterity of the Elves and the brutality of the strongest races - perfect for the players who want to crush the opponent with style.

    The game offers two different game modes. The first, which is fully real time, offers intense battles between blocking linemen and daring displays of agility with players leaping and dodging opponents, while powerful spells and dirty trick plays are unleashed across the pitch. The second game mode, is an exact replica of Games Workshop's turn-based tabletop masterpiece. The original rules have been faithfully reproduced with all of the strategies, play and rhythm of the original game.

    In single-player you manage a team throughout an entire season of Blood Bowl Dark Elves Edition, through the Old World of Warhammer. As the team evolves you manage every detail of your players; their popularity, sponsorship, purchase and sale, as well as their aging, retirement and even death. In multiplayer, the player will be able to throw down a challenge to other Blood Bowl Dark Elves Edition players in online tournaments and climb the official ranks ladder.

    • 2 radically different game modes: Turn-based for a faithful adaptation of the board game, or Real-Time for intense and spectacular matches.
    • 9 different races, each offering its own style of play: Humans, Orcs, Skaven, Dwarfs, Wood Elves, Goblins, Lizardmen and Chaos, along with the recent addition of the dangerous Dark Elves!
    • Magnificent graphical rendering, literally giving life to the Blood Bowl miniatures!
    • Take part in a full Blood Bowl campaign to win the 15 championship trophies and cups while developing your own team.
    • Export your own team from a championship and play it in One-off matches or in multiplayer.
    • Create your own online League and challenge other player and participate to online tournaments on the internet to rise your team on the top of the official online rankings!
    • Get started easily and progressively using the in-game tutorial and 3 levels of difficulty.
    • A whole new race in this edition of Blood Bowl : the dangerous and remorseless Dark Elves!
    • An exclusive 80 pages Strategic Guide and Artbook, offering both advice to the player and fine artworks used to create the game.

    Here is my reveiew and its going to be lengthy because this is an awsome game. First lets start with the DRM : you are allowed 3 simultanious installs. This means you can install on 3 machines and no more until you de-activate one. The company is to be commended for its ingenuity on this as no one else has been able to come up with a viable solution until now as the game comes with a handy deactivate app so that you can do this. however, at the time of writing this it is unknown as to whether or not other programs with older versions of securom will overwrite or deativate the drm in the product (as is the case with titans quest-I have to keep my manual unlock code posted on my desktop for this game) but there is no manual unlcok code incase this happens. It should be noted that the game comes with two serial keys instead of one. You will have to write down the second one as the game requests the second one in full screen. UPDATES: make no mistake , the game requires an online connection not only to activate it , but it will also automatically blast through any firewalls you have and check for updates and then update your game on to the latest version on start up Graphics: The game does not fail in this area. If you have a lower end pc you might want to disable cimatics and turn the texture settings down a bit. GAME PLAY: The game may be played in either real time or turn based ! The game itslef is quite fun and very addictive and simply saying its an awsome game is understatement as the game is very addictive and VERY fun. In turn based mode a match can take up to an hour to play and for the most fun it can be played in whats called blitz mode where you get to hire cheerleaders, purchase potions , ect. Voice Acting : Unfortnately , the game falls a little short in this area as the part of the game can become quite repetitious as lines are repeated by the broadcasters of the event. Although you will be having so much fun with the actual game that this will now make much difference. Sound and Music : sound and music files perfectly match the mood and feel of the game so this area is 9 of 10 Manual and Documentation The game comes with both a manual and a large strategy guide but you will have to locate it in the games directory in order to take advantage of it. It is ashamed that the creators forgot to add a shortcut to the desktop and start menu for the documentation but dont let this discourage you as the game is rock solid and well worth the price you will be paying. In short , this is a must buy for anyone who would like to manage their own fantasy football team.
