Madden actually does something great....but still manages to shoot themselves in the foot!
User Rating: 8.8 | Madden NFL 06 X360
I diffently believe this is the best football to date. It has beautiful graphics, and just a drop dead gorgous layout. They added over 5,000 new animations and finally got rid of that much over used madden engine. This game was built from the ground up. They diffently added some nice features but they also left some out. If you are just a football fan or you just wanted to play this game, well you are really going to enjoy this game. But, if you are a hardcore madden fan, this is only a small step from the original and you may not be as hyped about it as before. The game is very beautiful but when they take out key features like the challenge review, well that is where some of the realism is lost. They can't really say it is the most realistic football game when it doesn't have very important realistic features. Another thing I noticed is that the defense seems to move robotically, but it is bearly noticible. You would only have a problem if you were very picky. They also took out the very helpful mini-camp, hopefully to return in the next madden. (madden 07) I would diffently get this game if you are getting the xbox 360, even with a few features missing, it still looks like an awesome game. I almost forgot to add that the crowd is finally 3D, no more cardboard cutouts! This game will not be the best for long but for right now it is diffently a crowd pleaser. In addition, it can really show off your xbox 360 graphics. So go out and buy this wonderful addition to the madden franchise.
