After recently updating consoles from PS2 to 360, I also updated my version of Madden NFL 08. All I was expecting was the same game with improved graphics. But I was pleasantly suprised. EA have taken everything that makes the Playstation version good and updated and improved on it. Good gameplay, specific playing styles and a realistic franchise mode.Improvements include Hall of Fame mode, which actually has a license this time. So you get names, profiles, stats and even highlight reels for some players, instead of the very poor PS2 system of QB #2 for example. You can now improve your players stats weekly. In previous installments you could only improve one player per drill at the start of the season.Now you can train 3 players per week before you play your game. Drills are a lot better now. You can train your player specifically to improve on areas of weakness. For example, members of your OL (Offensive Line), you can choose to train them in run or pass blocking. Drills for this particular position include bench press and blocking for a RB against defenders.The last main difference is the Ring system. Instead of earning tokens and buying trading cards, you now earn points and gain rings. There are 5 rings to be unlocked. Each by achieving goals in the regular season.But EA still managed to frustrate me. In every Madden game ever released you never feel youre in control of your own destiny. If youre up by 3 or 4 points, have the ball and start to run the clock down, after a couple of short rushes you tend to fumble, loss the fumble and the defender with the ball never gets tackled by the first man. Which ultimately ends up with you being down by a field goal with under a minute left. Robbed of the victory. What I said in my review of the PS2 copy still stands. Coverage is very hard, no matter how good your DBS are. And it seems whenever youre in need of points or a defensive stand, you simply cant acheive it.This aside, Madden NFL 08 is a very good buy. Better than the PS2 version, you get more for your money. Graphics have been improved greatly. And those fortunate enough to have HD will get extra enjoyment out of playing. But be prepared for a hard time playing this game.

As a Madden newbie, but NFL junkie, this game is initially v. cool. It looks great, sounds great - but OMG is it tricky to get the hang of! There are so many controller functions that are dependant upon which type of player you happen to be.A basic game at Rookie level can be fun with 50 point blowouts, but the step up to Pro is just that. I'm sure that all previous Madden owners will find it easy though - newbies like me end up getting creamed.The look is special, with just the occasional glitch of one player walking through another. The franchise and superstar games are very involved, but will probably take a bit of work to get the best out of them,knowing which bits to skip and which to do.There is very little instructional information on what all the different segments mean, maybe that could have been improved as the more detail given the more you can immerse yourself (well that's my opinion anyway!)

This game is hugely detailed and with the option of creating players, teams, stadiums etc you won't get bored of it too quickly.My one gripe is with how poor the AI is, especially when you're playing at QB. I've never seen a QB get sacked six times in two plays. The number of times the receivers fail to catch the ball, even on short plays and when wide open is also amazing, even the guys who are supposedly 'hands' seem to be total butterfingers. The number of interceptions and turnovers the computer seems to get is also laughable.Typically for an EA game the step between rookie and pro is huge, and the instruction book is rubbish.Overall though, this is brilliant game.If you're a fan of NFl the detail and realism will wow you, if you're just looking for something different it's well worth a go. If you're in any doubt download the demo from xbox live and play it a few times, totally addictive.

Out of all my 360 games this on gets easily the most playing time. I love the franchise mode having won the Superbowl with the Seahawks, I decided to create my own team (The Vegas Vipers) and have a go at building a great team from scratch, and this is even more rewarding than pick an already existing team. There is already enough reviews stating the ins and outs of the games but I just felt I had to praise this game. Have a go creating your own teams its great!BTW I have noticed on forums people having trouble using a created team in franchise mode. If this is the case, Go to start new franchise and on the screen where you pick a team press Y to load your team,you will have to pick a team to remove from the current teams.

This years Madden is,in my opinion,a return to form for the franchise.You can now start a "proper"franchise with fully customised options-stadiums,teams and jerseys etc(about time!!).Plays like a dream and looks even more amazing than last years! My only gripe,albeit small,is the radio commentary is no match for tv style commentary found on other sports games(eg NHL2k7) oh! ,and you can only download roster updates before playing an online opponent(those guys on there are TOO GOOD!!!) well worth buying......GO BUCS!!!!!

This game is so much better than the same old Fifa that gets churned out with slightly better graphics each year. It makes you think tactically and actually captures the spirit of the sport, unlike the afore-mentioned tripe.Playing with mates is a great laugh, especially when you see the look on their faces after a beautiful pass followed by terrible defending, resulting in a skillful and well-deserved touchdown.This game does not dissapoint.

its a brilliant game. i only payed £3.39 in a shopfor it.its really hard to understand if the game doesnt come with instructions, but once you get into the game its amazing. lots of fun playing this game, its ten times better than the rugby games you get on the xbox 360. they are really boring. in this its all full contact and lots of heavy hits.brilliant fun, well recommended game.
