After three years, visual concepts brings back its football game, though its not as good as it could have been.
User Rating: 7.2 | All-Pro Football 2K8 X360
Though not as good as the previous games from visual concepts, all-pro is a pretty solid game that not all but most football fans might like. The lack of real NFL teams really hurts the game but it still plays fairly good. The gameplay isnt as good and just doesnt feel as realistic. Everything else though works fine but dont expect to see any difference from other football games. The throwing is mainly the same and there arent any new features. The graphics arent to bad but dont look fully next gen yet. The player animations are smooth and look good and the stadiums are pretty detailed. The sound is nothing special. The anouncers sound decent and just about evrything else to. The game does lack in features and doesnt have much to do. There is no franchise mode and the online is pretty basic and lacks in features. Also, since you are playing with made up teams, its not going to feel right. Though, the game does feature super stars from the past which is a good thing though. Overall All-pro football 2k8 is still a large step behind EAs inevitable football sim. The series needs a couple of years to catch up to Madden despite the fact that the madden series is struggling as of right now. If you dont care about playing with real teams and would like to play with super stars from the past, then its at most worth renting. This is one title that you should rent first before going out to the store and pay 60 bucks for this. Others will just have to wait and hope for the best fro madden 08 which should be good and better than this.
