5 of 5 AWESOME OLD SCHOOL Wednesday, January 21, 2009
A Gamer from Christiansburg, VA  

For those of you who can't stand the gameplay of the new-gen games...don't keep the game just because of the graphics. This xbox original has everything if youre a hardcore sports game fan and then some!!!New features, combo jukes...i can go on and on but to tell you how this game really feels is that it flows easily in your hands and it feels like youre on the field. So many packages, twists, individual routes, its insane!!! I also have to hint on that enhanced franchise if youre REALLY hardcore...it doesn't get better even with the little details that have been added. Stick to this game if youre looking for a fun, good-enough graphic, deep (and not to mention cheaper) game.

4 of 5 So Glad Madden 09 available for Original XBOX Friday, September 05, 2008
LT in H-Town from Houston Texas  
I don't play the XBOX that often, but I look forward to the new Edition of Madden every year. I haven't gone through all the changes, but the "AI" of the computer does make the game more challenging. I have not played online (yet), but I hear XBOX Live is a fun experience (haven't gon online since last season). The graphics are "decent" for a last generation system. One thing I did notice is that the Madden-ism's are pretty much the same as the last 2 years. The uniforms and stadium are reproduced nicely. However, the players faces are pretty much the same. Meaning ALL the players look the same they are just different shades. Is a QB really as big as an OL or DE? It seems that the development team spends more time on changing features and less time on the player graphics.
