Once you get passed the amazing visuals, unless this is your first NCAA game you'll feel a little empty.

User Rating: 7 | NCAA Football 07 X360
Last year when Madden 06' rushed into a release for the 360 it was understandable that the game would lack a lot of the features of its last gen console brethern, as it was built from the ground work in a very short time. However, it has been one year and although EA has shown that its current Madden 07' game for the the 360 will be up to par with the other versions this years NCAA game has been stripped down leaving us wondering if EA just procrastinated to get this game into development or if it did this on purpose so that the 08' release is merely the same game with the features promised in the previous version.

The game itself looks beautiful, (except for the weather) and everyone can agree that on an HDTV this is the best looking football game to date. The sound is about equally as good, except for the audience. Gameplay-wise nothing here has changed much if at all from the previous incarnation of NCAA 06 on the Xbox and PS2. There are added plays and the in game action feels a lot more inclusive, (you'll now want to work every position sometimes not just the QB) and every option is detailed. However besides the actual on field time the game suffers many blows, missing campus legend mode, spring training and other features included in the last gen consoles.

If you're a hardcore NCAA veteran who only cares about the franchise mode or on field time or are new to the NCAA series then this is the game for you. If your a casual football game fan who played last years NCAA for the Xbox or PS2 you may find yourself dissapointed and even bored with this bare-boned presentation from EA, in which you may want to wait until Madden 07 for the 360 comes out or play a last gen version of the game.
