Midway's bone-crunching BLITZ THE LEAGUE playable demo is now live and available for download from Xbox Live Marketplace

Two teams, first two quarters - it's gonna get messy! Be the first to see why the game has sold over a million units in the US and gained a grass-roots reputation for being even more hardcore than professional American football itself.

The full game takes players behind the glitz and glamour of professional American football through a revolutionary campaign mode, Blitz: The League explores the on-field violence, off-field fallout and front-office politics feeding the headlines in America's media spotlight.

Skull-smashing action delivers a punch in more ways than one. Players can create and develop the greatest teams in the League's history using a wealth of customizable options in an attempt to take their squads to the very top of the league standings. An unleash meter in the game also allows players to slow down play and pull off drastic moves, break free of tackles and evade opponent players. This hardcore adrenaline spectacular is playable in single and multiplayer modes, as well as via the Xbox Live ® online game service. Awesome!
