    Why a game that's played predominantly with your hands is called 'football' has always baffled us, but that hasn't hindered the Madden franchise one bit. Blitzing consoles since 1988 with all-out gridiron mayhem, it's not always hit the mark (think 2006), but this year's update is definitely a hit. Read more

    Overall it’s the Madden you know and love, if you haven’t got into previous games the new My Skill feature might help ease you in. Casual players will be fine but hardcore fans will find plenty of depth and tons to do. Read more

    Those that have turned their back after the relatively poor showing of the previous titles can safely return and for those NFL fans that have yet to try this franchise, then you could not have hoped for a better introduction. Although for those that have no idea about NFL and haven't seen a game before, then either start watching (Five and Sky Sports cover the televised games in the UK) or try before you buy. One thing that can hardly be denied though is that Madden NFL... Read more

    Clearly I and our American cousins have a difference of opinion when it comes to defining football, so just this once, I'll discuss the most popular sport from across the pond, "American" football; seeing as the kind folks at EA sent us a copy of the latest edition of the Madden franchise - Madden 2009 . What some of you may not realise, had EA failed to adopt a yearly naming convention, we would now be up to Madden 20 ! Yep this ever popular 'football' franchise has... Read more

    Surprised by a lot of peoples opinions on this game, as i never played 08 apart from the DLC from xbox live i cant compare it to last years release, but i found the game challenging, and picked up the rules real quick compared to any other NFL game... I now find watching the game live more enjoyable... A Must Play for any sports gamer! Read more

    everything was fine, a few minor scratches on the disk, but works. Came in a blank case with no art work, so that was disappointing and unexpected considering it was not disclosed. Other than that, it was a good purchase. Read more

    So, I've tired madden football out mostly cuz I liked 05. Well this isn't 05. This is 09. That's kinda like 05+4, but I really wouldn't call it plus because I still liked listening to Tony Bruno not know what he was talking about. Anyway, as for the game, you spend most of your time playing fottball. Makes sense, cuz this is a fottball game. If you like fottballball, you might like this game, if not you might not. Read more
