Good season overview but not enough game coverage of the Super Bowl.

As a lifelong Giant fan I am glad I bought the dvd but I am extremely disappointed in the lack of footage of the Super Bowl game itself. The Super Bowl was the greatest game of the season. It was better than the Giant Super Bowl victories in 1986 and 1990 and is one of, if not the greatest, Super Bowls ever played.

This dvd has segments on all the games played during the season as well as all the playoff games. In addition two of the extras include a game of the week segment on the playoff games against Dallas and Green Bay but no game of the week for the Super Bowl.

I would have gladly done away with all the extras to have a full half hour or hour on the actual plays of the Super Bowl. My dvd player showed the section with the game coverage of the Super Bowl lasting approximately fifteen minutes. There were extra segments commenting on the game but I wanted to see more of the game.

Part of the Super Bowl game coverage shows the game officials commenting on the game. This is nice but considering the time devoted to the Super Bowl it takes away from the actual game coverage.

The dvd showed only five plays of the Giant's game winning drive. The plays are as follows: a near interception by New England, the fourth down conversion by the Giants that kept the drive alive, a brief clip of a sack of Manning, the amazing pass by Manning to Tyree and the final pass to Burress.

The dvd then has extras including the half time show, post game interviews and analysis and segments on Manning, Coughlin, Kiwanuka and Strahan. All this is nice but I want to see more of one of the greatest Super Bowls ever.

I heard that a dvd focusing on the Super Bowl may come out later in the year. I don't know if this is true. I hope it is. I will buy it in a second.

(I just purchased the Giants' Road to the Superbowl dvd. It was worth the wait. It has the all the Giants' playoff games as well as the last game against New England. It has the complete games. The two dvd's go perfect together.)

This dvd is a nice reminder of the season. If you are a Giant's fan I would definitely buy it. Still, I wish the dvd had more game coverage of the Super Bowl.

Complete Season Coverage

In all honesty I was hoping to get more coverage for the Super Bowl XLII, but it's still great DVD to have if you are a GIants fan.

Haven't watched it yet but I seen the game and it was one of the greatest upsets known to man... go NY! The evil empire strikes again!!! LOL

Buy it if you're a fan

Bottom line- This is the only DVD out there on the Giants season that I'm aware of, so I would highly reccommend you buy it. In fact, get two and give one to your closest Cowboy fan.

It certainly could be a lot better but after watching it before bed, I was pumped up enough that I couldn't fall asleep for two hours.

It gives you a couple of minutes of each regular season game, then the playoffs and finally the Super bowl. Not a lot of coverage on any game - even the Superbowl. It is produced for fans of Big Blue. The Giants look good even in the games they lost. They use Bob Pappa and Carl Banks mixed in with the normal "NFL" voice over. It also has some great camera shots. The video quality is top notch.

So yes, I wish it had more of the games, but then again I wish men's magazines had more pages of pictures. This disc does contain the Tom Petty halftime show - why? I would have prefered to see the whole final drive of the Superbowl (It does contain Jacobs forth down run and, of course, Tyree's catch!)It has footage of media day and the post game NFL Network show too.

I'm glad I bought it. I will watch it over and over I'm sure. If you love Big Blue, buy it too. It's not perfect, but you will enjoy it.
