Video Game Reviews of Madden NFL 08 DVD
Customer Review: Not much with this years PC version
Summary: 1 Stars
I shoulda followed my gut instinct and boycotted Madden 08. First of all it's 98% percent the same as last year, and the much Hyped Player abilities wich they claim are new... are just last years player roles with new icons and you can see them on the field of play.
though being able to see them on the field has made making adjustments easier as you can see who's covering who, or wich members of your O-line are gonna plow threw the D easier, it still doesn't justify the price nor the Hype generated for this game.
The rosters are soarly wrong, The Bears still have Tank Johnson, who was released months ago, and replaced by Darwin Walker months ago, and yet this simple fix was not made, i am sure there are other holes in this roster as well.
The menu's and over lays are reused from last year, they just made them bigger and a black, When you score and are about to kick a field goal, you see 1st and 10 at the top in white, over Field Goal in orange, wich was last years lettering at the top.
AI and animations have been improved slightly, not as vastly as EA would lead you to believe, some of the new animations actualy cause gameplay problems where the animation was inapropriat at the time. Some players still walk through others, the running back still stubbornly runs into the o-line untill he trips.
The graphix are tweaked, colors and edges do seem more refigned, but given the Hardware out for PC's, there is no reason why PC gamers are stuck with Ps2/Xbox graphics. easpecialy since even mid range budget cards these days are equal or even better than xbox 360 and ps3.
One bright spot is the hall of fame mode, You can now play as one of the players from this years draft, including this actualy makes me play this aspect now. Though the layout of the appartment is troublesome in some spots as clickable items are too close and with a mouse you tend to click the wrong thing half the time.
Sound....OMG, this is the same dreary commentation as last year, nothing new was added, heck, they still call Devin Hester " number 23" ... this guy broke an NFL record and a Super Bowl record, and is the first player to ever have the ingame Speed of 100, and you can't even say his name....
Again, i shoulda knew better, though shame on me, this is the last madden i am gonna buy for a few years, always happens, play a few years, get tired of minor tweaks every year and basicly paying for a $40 roster update.
I will say the game is fun... but as i notice every minor detail and it sinks in, i get the feeling i am playing last years game, and am already starting to get burnt out.
