NCAA GameBreaker 2001 is a 2000 American football video game developed by Red Zone Interactive and 989 Sports and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2. It was only released in North America.
The game received "mixed or average reviews" on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Dan Egger of NextGen said of the PlayStation 2 version, "Football fans would be best served by waiting until next year." (Ironically, the next PlayStation 2 game was not NCAA GameBreaker 2002 but NCAA GameBreaker 2003, which was released two years after this game.)
Uncle Dust of GamePro said of the PlayStation version in one review, "While this year's NCAA Football might offer a better Dynasty mode and more customization, NCAA GameBreaker 2001 grabs the championship with its fast, fun gameplay."[1] In another GamePro review, Cheat Monkey called it "a fine package that delivers some wild college football action. It's got all the game modes that a college fan would want, and though the sound and graphics are a bit behind the rest of the package, you'd have to be asleep not to get fired up for the college football in GameBreaker 2001."[2] Human Tornado said of the PlayStation 2 version, "If you want some freewheeling college gridiron action this year, then GameBreaker 2001 is the only PS2 game in town."[3]
