Although I realize now that the 09 version is out, expect it to be like this one... and that is crappy.
I went straight to eBay and spent like $20 on it... the WORST $20 I have spent since then. When I first started playing it, it seemed like fun, and maybe I would get the hang of it.
But with crappy controls with the Wiimote and Nunchuk, it's nearly impossible to do what you want on this game. You can't throw it to the correct person, so it's either an interception, or if you do make the pass it's pretty much a TD.
The graphics are bloody terrible, and that's even comparing it to GC version!!! It's so horrible and there is barely anything to do on it. You can play a friend and wow ya know maybe that'll be fun.
This series is obviously targeted towards kids I know, but even they shouldn't pick up this horrible excuse for a game. Some of the backyard kid games were pretty good, but this one was a discrase to the series.
The 09 one may be better I really don't know I would hope that it is improved from this garbage, but i don't really care now because I would rather be getting into FPS and other stuff than this crap. But hey maybe I can get half of my money back if I sell this.. not like that many people want it though....
