  • Summary: For 16 years, Madden NFL football has been the definitive gridiron video game experience. Here's the next one for your portable buddy.

  1. The game is fully featured for tremendous long term value, and the online components put it over the top in terms of true dollar value for your gaming experience.
  2. Perhaps the most annoying quirk about the visual presentation is the loading which is a bit too frequent.
  3. Pass defense is more realistic, and the balance smooths out at higher difficulty settings, but pounding the run is still unrealistically easy.
  4. What you have here is a competent, playable, fun football game pretty much ruined by game-killing bugs, freezes, flaws, and debacles.

    This is a very good game it just has a few things that i didnt like but the loading didnt bother me as much as it did other people it has that console feel to it and it is really fun but... i just wish they had the hitstick and some of the other content found in the console versions but i know only so much can be put in that 1.8 GB Disk,.... but in the long run if you really lke football games get this it is worth it.!

    It should be noted that there is a bug in the second game of the season/franchise that totally shuts the psp down, requiring you to save before the end of the 2nd season game. I couldnt get through the playoffs either without game shutting down. Other than that it's a typical madden game, 3 or 4 plays is all you really need. Read the defense and then audible. Expand
