Madden 08 is in my opinion the best madden game to date. The weapons work just as they should and can change the game in an instance. The graphics may not be much better than last years game, but the animations are much more fluid and its easier to run because of this. Finally, all the features from 05 are here. The mini-games are fun when you're bored of the franchise, and superstar is interesting, if frustrating. The franchise is like it always was.
However, there are some major flaws in this game. Its too easy to fumble. When's the last time you saw Marshawn Lynch fumble the ball more than once in a game. Also, the cornerbacks are crazy good at making catches. They seem to always know where the ball is and step up and make the interception many times. This especially happens on superstar. I was playing as a Colts running back and the final score was 42-0 because peyton manning through 6 interceptions. That doesnt make since.
overall, the game's good. Madden 09 will be even better with blocking schemes and LESS TURNOVERS!

Gameplay:8.5

Fun:9.5

    The last Madden game that I have owned was '93. And even though it has an enormous user base I just can't get into it. And this year is no exception. I still own and play NFL 2K5 on the Xbox and it is still more fun t... Read Full Review
