Most Approachable Madden Ever
Those new to the series will enjoy this game immensely. It is very easy to pick up and simply start playing. Even those with little knowledge of the sport can jump right in. This truly is a perfect game for that. With the different difficulty levels a novice can jump right in and challenge a veteran and still hold their own because the game seems to adapt to the players' different skill levels. This is very refreshing to see.
But the hardcore football fanatics may find this game a bit too shallow. Let's face it, the truly hardcore will probably enjoy the XBox version better. The better graphics, more complicated gameplay, and no "All Play" will be more up their alley. But honestly, there are things here even the fanatics will enjoy. The Franchise mode and Superstar mode is great. I think this is where the hardcores will gravitate towards. And of course, let's not forget you can always change the difficulty settings.
In the end, this is a great game. The controls are fun. The graphics are good for the Wii. It is very easy to pick up, yet can be challenging if you want it to be. This is the perfect balance for a sports game. I fully recommend it to any Wii owner who happens to be a football fan.
