I know they're totally different games, but I want both and they both come out in August. I'll only be able to afford one.

Pretty much says it all right there.

I will admit, as excited as I am about Mercs 2, the idea of a nuclear bunker buster makes me kind of nervous. All in all though, I can't wait to check out the new features

I gotta say Mercs 2. Like the other guy said, Madden is always the same. I own 07. I own Mercs and it is great. You said you want to play with your friend, ask him to get Mercs 2, it has online co-op.

In the end really, get what you want, not what your friend wants you to have.

So... Thats my gaming sense, lol :D

I haven't really seen any gameplay footage of Madden 09 and I was thinking of getting it since my friend who only plays sports games want to play with me sometimes, but I'm not really a football game player, so I'm getting Mercenaries 2. I like open world sandbox type of games more than football games. I'll probably get NBA Live 09 though.

Madden, It blows away the past Madden game, it does not look the same at all, plus if your friends are getting it, where would you have more fun, yourself or amigos, but it is your choice.

Ok I don't get why people ***** about Madden being the same game every year. First of all its football, and does football change every year? I'm talking about the fundamentals, and thats a NO!

What do you want them to change then? Every game is an improvement from the last one, it is simply impossible to impress you people...

:lol: I thought I broke that when I chose GH WT over RB2, or was it i decided to get both. I didnt even know I had a streak. Look i like this game because I play football myself and I think the game is fun, it doesnt really matter if it is the same thing or not, I play Madden 07, and I loved it, and the last Madden I played was 03 on the GC. Madden 09 looks great, and fun. Plus it has Brett on the cover and who doesnt like that.

Were still friends right? And that reminds me.

Lol, dont worry. If the rumored setlist StillBorn posted is true, then I'll be buying both of the games on Day 1, not just Rock Band 2 xD. My brother will get the new Madden game, so Ill just play it on our PS3 or PS2's, whichever system he gets it on. :lol: If I even want to play it.

Dont worry, all my multi-plat games go to my 360 :lol: Man, I was playing Guitar Hero 2 earlier on my PS2 and I failed the first song on expert :lol: Iunno why either. Not a hard song, at all.

If I were you I'd get Mercs 2. But then again I live in Australia and don't really understand American football so I can't really say I've played a Madden game.

Kinda hard to compare 2 games from two completely different genres, but I guess you can try to....

It goes to what appeals to you more. As others stated football is football and it don't change. If you played one madden you played them all and I am not saying that is bad. Sure the replay value might be better in Madden but Mercs2 just looks disgustingly fun. I mean a tactical nuke a million vehicles to pick from comone man...are you really asking this question?
