These animations are gorgeous to look at, from Reggie Bush doing his trademark summersault for six, or a Chad Johnson river dance after a score. This is because the game runs at a buttery smooth 60 frames per second...Madden 08 is simply superb. If you could only own one next-gen football, this is it.
Competition has brought out the best in the Madden franchise with Madden NFL 08, an all-around excellent football game that more than atones for its somewhat uneven Xbox 360 showing in Madden NFL 07.
While Madden NFL 08 certainly isn’t perfect, it’s damn near close. The on-field action is stellar, thanks largely to a buttery smooth framerate and one of the best animation systems seen in a sports game to date. You’ll stay busy with the Franchise and Superstar mode for a good deal of time, and the impeccable online netcode will ensure that you’ll have an excellent experience on Xbox Live.
It is nice to finally have nearly all of the features back and playing them on the Xbox 360. All of the new features and additions make this a game that will be played for hours on end.
Maybe next year will bring us that much closer to having a Madden game like never before. It’s still a good game, slightly above average, but not as great as it should be.
I love madden 08, its the perfect combination of Madden and 08, thanks to Madden 08 i can now do what i couldnt in life, right now im writing a madden 08 fanfic and its going great! Thanks Madden 08!

I would give this game a 67/100 but I rounded it up to a 7/10. Let me preface this by saying I haven't played the PS2 maddens, but this is certainly better than any Madden on the Ps4. The intro gets me hyped every time, the soundtrack is great, loading times aren't bad for a 2007 game, and the UI is nice. This game has good gameplay. Not great, but fun. I wouldn't call it a perfect simulation as it has its flaws but the gameplay is certainly fun and does a good enough job at simulating football. The franchise honestly lacks depth, but create-a-team kinda saves it. It's like a little worse than what we have today. The presentation isn't very realistic, but it's very unique. I enjoy Marshall Faulk's stuff but he doesn't have that much to say. The commentary's pretty generic and the commentator doesn't have much to say, but it's a 2007 game so I'll cut it some slack. This game has a lot of stuff to do. there's this cool ring and trophy system that gives me more of a reason to grind. Going back to features, the minigames are a good time and they don't really stale. Superstar, while not being as good as the ps2 version, is still great. I do like the player weapons system but it could be explained a bit better. IDK at what point a skill becomes a weapon. If you simulate franchise games, (especially when you supersim) the outcomes usually aren't very realistic. But overall, while Madden 08 has its flaws, its still a good game and much better than current Madden. Is it worth 60 dollars? No, but it's 5 bucks on ebay. You have no reason not to buy it.
Hey all scott here dont you just loge reading the esrb ratings om the back of each box? Everybodys golf has mild launguage and suggestive themes and chibi robo ziplash has hahahahahahahaha oh wait nintendo your actually releasing this?
