The Bottom Line:
"Almost, but not quite"
Everyone thought this would be the next great madden game a next gen. console but, unfortunetly, fans will have to wait one more year. Because Madden decided to create an all new game engine, it took up most of their time and they happen to leave out some fan favorites like a deep franchise more or a fantasy draft. By no means is this a bad football game, the graphics and gameplay are terrific, but it resembles last years game a little too much.

Gameplay: Excellent. I especially love the highlight stick and how they copied the NCAA game of last year (all juke controls are right on the right analog stick). The player animations are much more real as there are more of them and they are more realistic. There are less animation glitches and gameplay glitches compared to previous years.

Graphics: Better last year. I may be the only one to think this but I think Madden '06 graphics were much more impressive. Don't get me wrong, this looks like a next gen game but its frustrating when you know there is more potential that has not been reached.

Sound: nothing spectacular. it sounds like a football videogame and not like a football game. The annoncers, like all other games, tend to repeat themselves and the crowd doesn't bring anything new to the table.

Value: With no 2K football this year, this game has a very high value.

Recommendation: For the football fans, buy this game. if you have not played Madden before and/or not a big football fan, wait til next year because that will be the year to impress.
