Description: Gatorade’s Beat the Blitz is a free-to-play VR simulation designed to put your hydration to the test. Guided by former All-Pro quarterback Peyton Manning, you’ll battle against the effects of dehydration as you dodge blitzers in our high energy throwing skills competition. Together with Peyton, you’ll also take a journey inside the human body where you’ll see, firsthand, how dehydration affects your performance, starting with the heart and brain. Then, you’ll have a chance to set new high scores in a challenge designed to make you sweat.
Beat the Blitz is one of the first football sims to use arm motion for ball movement, giving you a realistic experience in the pocket. And you’ll see how you stack up with a true-to-life sized hologram of Peyton by your side throughout. Do you think you can Beat the Blitz? Download and play today.
Review: While ‘Beat the Blitz’ is little more than an advert for Gatorade (sports fuel products) this is still a really good game, especially for a freebie. It looks great, it even has some educational content and there is even an easy to follow tutorial to enjoy. But it is the gameplay that is the star of the show and while it isn’t the deepest game it will give you a good workout and is sure to make NFA sports fan smile. This is probably one of the best adverts you will ever play!
