Madden NFL 08 Wii Reviews

Madden NFL 08 Wii


Reviewer: Average

In my opinion, the revolutionary gameplay does not make up for the last-gen graphics. I was pumped for the motion controls, but in reality, after a few hours, the hand motions soon feel like just another button. The gameplay is like every other Madden game you've played. However, the features are plentiful.
I have to say though that Madden 08 for the Wii did not live up to its hype.
Maybe, maybe not $50... Madden needs more competition for their games. I don't think they have a big enough development crew for all of the consoles, it seems like this is way under EA Sport's potential.

edit-
Following up on another reviewer's comment about the blurriness after plays, it is defective on my copy too. Initially I thought this was some sort of realistic thing where the QB got sacked and he was disillusioned or something. It is really blurry and I would suggest you audible to a running play because it's hard to see and pass.
Online play is in shambles, it's impossible to get into a game and when you do it lags like crazy.
Also I can't figure out how to hide your cursor when you're selecting plays so the opponent can't see what play you're doing.

Overall, this game is very entertaining but EA Sports seemed to neglect certain small things, BECAUSE THEY CAN. They have no competition which is bad for us.

Other Notes:
I cannot find out how to use the Telestrator. I know it's Party-Mode exclusive but I cannot find it. If someone could tell me via comment it'd be Fantastic.
