Madden 08 Review

Posted on August 17th, 2007 at 11:05 EDT
Though the feature set is identical to the 360, the drop to an unstable 30 frames per second hurts the game a lot. If you are a hardcore football fan - then buy this game. If not it's a renter at best.
Pros
  • + Animations and textures have been slightly improved.
  • + AI has been improved, a bit.
  • + Better camera positions.
Cons
  • - Madden gameplay is mediocre at best.
  • - Does not present anything different or innovative.
  • - 30 frames per second.
  7.0

(continued from previous page) ...just suffers from the frame rate drop. Though the feature set is identical to the 360, the drop to an unstable 30 frames per second hurts the game a lot. The visuals and the gameplay suffer tremendously. But then again, despite all the animation hitches and frame drops, any football fan will find Madden 08 a solid game worth playing.

RFoM runs at 30fps so i find it hard to believe that this is the sole reason for the choppy animations. It is a port after all and we all know how great the ports have been so far.

wow, I like the game. Its a good game. but when you compare it to X and Y, you don't see overall it's a good game....I really like the animations, especially the mid air collisions....

man im not into fram rate bull everyone looking into that way to much foreal put it like this if you never got  a football game and you just entertain it every year dont buy it especially if frame rate is your thing i dont care about frame rate, can the game play be better than last year, is the graphics nice, whos online playing, those are my big 3, with over 2500 people playing madden daily online  on ps3 i think the majority is satisfied so i can care less the game is good, if you watch and love football, preseason, training camp and you concerned about your team daily madden 08 is your football fix, again if you just barely like football

Cant wait for this, one of my main reasons for getting a PS3 was next-gen Madden, and this preview has really whet my appetite

I also get the new madden, ever since my sega genisus days. Every year Madden seems to only make very slight improvements. I am a huge football fan, so this game is a must for me, but it woulda seen alot more time if it was up to par! Being a big football fan, I give it a sloppy 8 rating.
