Another Review

Its so unlike me to be playing anything sports related on my xbox. But today i played a few games of Madden 2006. Damn thats fun, tourneys are great for playing with several people. whcih we did. i think i won three times against the best of the best of the rest. the controls are easy to learn(at least for me) though i did screw up a few times which led to my downfall. NEVER run backwards when the goal line is right behind you. oy i lost to mike in OT after he got the safety. Final score 2-0 mike. But i came back against nishanth, his friend from middlesex,a nd finally ben wooot. I havent played sports titles in years, but this game was so good. i highly recommend it for any casual gamers. i didnt try the live component however but if the gameplay is still the same then ill bet its worthwhile to purchase just for the live. Characters are detailed, madden is constantly bickering, and all the while the 2-d crowd is cheering your every play. unless you screw up and lose the ball, then the view cuts to dissapointed fans. which were curiously fully 3d rendered. All in ALL, pick up this game or hold out for the 360 version, which will have revamped graphics (duh) and a few tweaks to gameplay. full 3-d crowds baby!!
