Finally after years of dissapointment with next gen Maddens; EA did something right.

User Rating: 9 | Madden NFL 08 X360
I, like many of you, were upset when EA bought the rights to the NFL franchise. I always thought competition makes people strive to be better. I felt that over the last 2 years EA did little to make their Madden game better because they had the market locked. This year made me feel different. They made some great changes and made Madden almost as enjoyable as it was before the next gen systems arrived.
The little changes made this years game much more entertaining and gave the franchise a much needed jump-start. Features like player weapons, fantasy draft and the ring modes all are welcome additions to Madden 08'.
Graphically it looks good. The player intros are fun to watch and show you what your weapons are. Gameplay wise they made the motions look a little more realistic. The running back motions and the fantastic catches look life-like.
Musically the game offers a great soundtrack. Artists like the Used and Yellowcard make selecting your team all that much more enjoyable. Madden also throws in his traditional advice that makes most football enthusiasts say "No crap Madden". Overall I was impressed with this game. After all of the hype I have been dissapointed and was gearing up for another dissapointing Madden holiday. I recommend this to any football fan or anyone who enjoys fun and challenging sports games.
