Forums - Nintendo - Quick thought - Madden 09 All Play

Rented this game yesterday. Overall, I like it, and I generally don't like sports games. The "call your play" mode is well thought out and useful, the premade playbooks are really good, animations are good and smooth too. A little excessive on the Wiimote use, like celebrating touchdowns to amp up your players, and it takes some time to get the ball to the right receiver. Defense is awesome, especially when you play with an awesome team like the Raiders =)

Overall, it's good fun, well thought out and much better than any football game I've played before. I think I'm still in Blitz mode, because I keep trying to crush the guy after the play is over =)

 



Around the Network

The Wii has made me consider buying sports games for the first time since NHL on the Genesis. I haven't quite made the jump yet, but if there were a serious game drought I would likely turn to PES and Madden to relieve it.

^^^ true, as long as the developer is making use of the tech in the right way, as we know that can make or break a game
