It is apsolutly amazing! And even though it's american football it's still..... WOW! The graphics are Great. You can see players apart from eaxh other anywhere on the picth, the kit get realisticly dirty, Players sweat like in real life and the crowd is better than a usual sport game. One thing about graphics that is bad though is the camera people can be walked through sometimes. Another would be that Sometimes after plays players just keep stupidly walking into each other. But overall the graphics are good. The game has a fair few modes as well including a few new ones, surprisingly. The franchise mode is pretty much FIFA manager mode except it's the NFL. Oh, and you can play matches with the teams other then your own. Superstar is be a pro accept you get to train and alot of other stuff like making a statment on Sundays. (Apperently NFL players do that) Then there is madden moments which is not like anything in fifa. You have to do classic momments from the NFL 2007-2008 season. And last and actulaly, probobly least is Minigames. 40 Metre dash, Weights and 4 more mini games are probobly the worst part of an otherwise great madden. The controls are somple for anyone, you can just press a button to throw it to a certain person but also have plenty of controls only the hardest of the hardcore Madden fans will use and even then there will be some unused controls. Overall it is fun to play, but when you dont get to call a play before defending, it is hard to get onside without hitting an opposition player and conceding a penelty of 5 yards. Celebrations give you a fair amount of choice, but is not as good as Fifa in that way. The game though is a bit too easy and if you turn up diffictulty all that happens is your players play worse. But compared to kicking it, it's the hardest thing ever. You can create your own team as well. Or a player. The xbox 360 version is also full with easy achievments. Oh I nearly forgot, there is a unique madden test feature which means you can improve your skills in a virtual room with the help of john madden. And it is fairly fun though games are better. Overall a great game for just about everyone.
The Madden Football series has become a classic case of what happens when a company holds a monopoly. With no other choice when it comes to NFL football gaming, people are left to decide to either purchase yet another M... Read Full Review
Like the yearly release of the Madden series itself, I feel my reviewing this game on a yearly basis is becoming very pointless. You see, I could sum up any Madden review for the last few years with just one short paragr... Read Full Review
