Reader Reviews
Fun: Madden '07 is definitely a winner in this fabled franchise. EA Sports added some really cool features. I bet they researched their butts off for this one. The market has become so competitive for these sports games nowadays because every year is a new season! Got to beat the Joneses, apparently. The makers of Madden '07 really tried for realism. My favorite idea that they explored (and put into the game) was the lead blocker concept. Basically, you have the option to do what you couldn't do back in the 90s - take all those controllers out of your Multi-Tap and play everything by yourself! You get to lead block for yourself - after you (hopefully) open up a hole for yourself with your lead blocker, you automatically switch to your ball carrier and see what kind of new juke is featured for your running back. (Assuming you didn't blow the hole wide open.) The jukes and deeks have definitely been upgraded, and EA Sports made the character models greatly resemble their real-life counter parts. The running style of the backs is pretty well mimicked. Another cool feature is the role-playing feature which actually includes a type of story line! I guess that all that market competition required EA to make a sports title really in-depth. Now you get to create a player who tries to be a starter for an NFL team and eventually rise to Hall of Fame status. You don't play as any other person on the team, just yourself. As your team (not just you) performs well, the greater your Influence. I read some people criticize this, but in reality (in my mind, anyway), the greatest running backs of all time (for example) didn't always have the best line or quarterback. Simply put, they were just great. (Don't tell me Barry Sanders had everything handed to him; don't tell me Dan Marino needs a Super Bowl ring to be in the Hall of Fame; etcetera.) My only negative criticism in a game so wonderful as this is pretty minor when you contemplate the overall picture. The game is more fun from the offensive viewpoint, I believe, because that is where so many of the new features were upgraded or new. The game almost plays like NFL Blitz (from Midway), but more realistic in the rosters, graphics, player moves, franchise settings, etc. I think that is a very minor offense because I prefer playing this game one-player. The multi-player feature usually has my defense sucking eggs while the offenses have better plays. Anyway, I did want to recommend this title to the video gamer who appreciates the mix of genres evident in Madden '07. The player creation, role-playing, development, and all the realistic action (including real NFL playbooks!)... they have an old RPG gamer like me having a good time as I play my favorite sport on my TV. As the price comes down to make way for Madden '08, I recommend you buy it - any platform. Twenty-five dollars ($25) or lower is fair, but thirty dollars is kind of pushing it, in my humble opinion.
