A perennial favorite,
Madden’s football franchise has taken the game to a new level. While the series has historically been
strong, the new version includes "Playmaker Control" which lets you control players off the ball.
The PS2 version also now has online play. There is also a new owner mode in which you can build your team including
hiring staff, setting ticket and concession prices, and building your own stadium with luxury boxes, scoreboards
and more. You can also track your teams’s revenue and fan support. Also when looking into the best football
game, Madden shines with the most realistic playbooks featuring playbooks from officially licensed NFL Coaches
Club. Now all they need is the ability to make your own mascots... |

The graphics were good and the music and audio really put you back in time. Our only gripe, and it is a fairly major one is
the horrible navigational controls.
Unintuitive actions on simple commands
such as unloading the ship, to lack of stats without mousing over inventory graphics are examples of this primitive navigation.
Our suggestion is to get your history prof. to make this game a semester project.
If you can get credit for it then it will be worth every gold piece, otherwise you might wait for 1507 to come out with some
better controls. |
