Actually they are okay. If you like gaming on the go. Madden NFL is the best of the best. I liked Madden NFL 07 on the PSP when I had it. I liked it when playing online at my college. It's lag free without any problems.
That's where the joy comes out of it. Single-player season mode is okay. But if you look at it from a portable perspective, this franchise made it well on the PSP.
IGN review scores and links of the Madden's that have been released on the PSP:
Madden NFL 06: 8.5/10 http://psp.ign.com/objects/727/727130.html
Madden NFL 07: 8/10 http://psp.ign.com/objects/811/811801.html
Madden NFL 08: 7.7/10 http://psp.ign.com/objects/868/868502.html
I guess the series went down hill, because EA didn't incorporate anything knew for the portable editions. But Madden NFL 09 looks to bring it back into high score range once again.
Oh and the DS versions of Madden NFL suck. So you must be referring to that side saying portables of Madden suck, cause its true that the DS versions of Madden suck real hard...
