Title: Madden NFL '08
Pros: Solid A.I, Wii remote adds a novel twist to proceedings.
Cons: Shoddy presentation, annoying and unresponsive controls, no new game modes.
Verdict: Madden NFL '08 proves once again that the Wii is ill suited to this kind of video game. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions run rings around it.

50/100 |

Title: Madden NFL 08 PC game
Verdict: The legendary Madden game franchise makes a triumphant return with Madden NFL 08, and in plenty of time for the playoffs. It's not a major upgrade on the PC, but it was already a winner, and console gamers and Mac users will be impressed.
Summary: Madden NFL 08 hasn't really set the PC gaming world on fire, because it's mainly an updated and rehashed version of the 07 product.

Title: Madden NFL 08

Cons: Intel Macs only. Average-quality graphics sometimes show bugs. Limited tutorials for absolute beginners. You really need a gamepad controller with analog control sticks.
Verdict: . The graphical glitches disappoint, but Madden NFL 08's deep on-and off-field action wins.
Summary: Are You Ready for Some Football?

Title: Madden NFL 08 (DS) review

Title: Madden NFL 08 (GameCube) review
Verdict: Again, it's no surprise that the older consoles would get something of the shaft when it came to development priority on this year's Madden. And save for holdover issues and a few missing features, this is still a good football game through and through. T
Summary: The older console versions of Madden 08 offer a few control upgrades and a couple of bizarre new modes, but otherwise, this might as well be last year's game.

Title: Madden NFL 08 (PC) review
Verdict: With the PC version continuing to rank right around the bottom of the barrel as far as new features and upgrades go, you've got to start wondering if EA even cares about its PC sports games. Yes, it plays fine, but it doesn't play much better than Madden
Summary: Beyond a roster update and a couple of small additions, there's little to Madden NFL 08 on the PC to make it worthwhile to anyone who bought last year's game.

Title: Madden NFL 08 (PlayStation 3) review
Verdict: It's issues like these that hold Madden NFL 08 back from being a truly stellar effort. Make no mistake, this is a great game of football through and through, especially on the field, where the new weapons feature has a fantastic effect on how you play the
Summary: Madden NFL 08 is a significant step forward for the series, bringing to the table features that are legitimately game-changing.

Title: Madden NFL 08 (PSP) review
Verdict: If you already bought last year's Madden on the PSP, you don't need to buy this one because it's not different enough to warrant the $40 cost. If you didn't buy last year's game, the gameplay is solid enough and there's enough content to make this a worth
Summary: Madden NFL 08 is a good handheld football game, but it offers little new content to make it worthwhile to those who already bought last year's game.

Title: After stumbling out of the huddle, football game makes an impressive Mac return
Pros: Mac and PC multiplayer support; updated roster; widescreen support.
Cons: Steep learning curve for gridiron newbies; buggy initial release; no MacBook support.
Verdict: Madden NFL 08 hasn't really set the PC gaming world on fire, because it's mainly an updated and rehashed version of the 07 product. That's not a bad thing-the 07 release was well-regarded. It's just that while the franchise got an overhaul to run on newer
Summary: There were some glitches when Madden NFL 08 made its Mac debut. But a subsequent patch has fixed the problem, allowing this gridiron game to make a triumphant return to the Mac after seven years on the sidelines.
