Madden NFL 07 for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I waited for three hours at my local Game Stop to get madden 07' last night and as soon as I got home I started playing it to find out the three hour wait was definitely worth it. Madden 07 is a huge improvement from last years disappointing debut of madden for the Xbox 360.The graphics are incredible and the gameplay is spectacular.

I can already tell that some people will love the new game features and game modes and some people will hate them. The lead blocker control and the highlight stick to me was a great addition to the game that makes the gameplay more enjoyable but on the other hand I was not too impressed with the new mini games such as the forty yard dash and bench pressing. Superstar mode is fun and all but the camera views make it very hard to see what you are doing because this year the camera just focuses on your player and not any of your teammates. Another thing will be both loved and hated depending on who you are is that in Superstar mode you can only control your player and not the whole team.

The graphics are amazing. The detail in the player models, stadiums, and fields are just jaw dropping. When the game starts to head into the third quarter you can actually start seeing the field get worn out.

The emotions of the players really adds a nice touch to the game. The one thing that can get annoying is that some tackles can look very unrealistic but on the other hand some tackles can look very nice.

Overall it’s an incredible game that you must have if you are a sports gamer.
