So I thought for fun I would do some reviews here. I thought that I would post some reviews of various games that come out. I may not do them very quickly as I probably wont have time to do them with university on at the moment. But here is my first reviews:
MADDEN NFL 09 (reviewed on the Xbox 360)
Since this is a football site why not? Lets review a football game!
This is the new Madden game of many. Most of you have played this game as I am sure. This game is good for the most part and expands on the series. one of the problems I have is that Madden has no competitors as NFL 2K series is dead, so there is not much reason for the series to get better as it wont matter. However this is not the case of Madden NFL 09. The movements of the players is excellent, nearly lifelike! The sound of the stadium and players is great too. I thought that the commentary is a bit dry though. Chris does a decent job but Hammond is horrible. He sounds like a Robot, either he needs to get that fixed or he should not be in the next Madden.
Fumbling is way down from 08, as it was horrible in that addition of Madden. This is fixed here. All-Madden is not for most as it is "cheap" to the player and only gets you mad! SO do not play in All-Madden if fun is what you want. There are some glitches that should not be there as players STILL go through walls. I dont know why that has not been fixed, Lazy I guess.
As much as changes where made no changes where made in franchise mode. No additions or training camp. EA left that mode in the dark. No new mini games which is a let down. Online is okay but could be made better as it is at times dry but overall it is good.
Overall though a good game overall. I know I missed some things about the game but there is not much more that needs to be said that all of you know now.
PRESENTATION: 8.0
Nothing special menus are no different from Madden NFL 08.
GRAPHICS: 8.8
Decent graphics and they are sufficient for great frame rate!
SOUND: 8.0
Good but commentary from Hammond is horrific.
GAMEPLAY: 9.0
Maddens strong point is here. AI is good fro the most part but is not perfect
LASTING APPEAL:
It is Madden franchise gets dry after a few seasons and you wont touch it for a long time. Online keeps you coming back for a bit.
Overall: 8.4
