  1. NFL Tour doesn’t go to cartoonish extremes, and its self-imposed limitations send some long-term potential off the field on a stretcher, but the smooth play and slick presentation keep it a worthwhile sport.
  2. The wacky gameplay, broken tackles, and cheating computer may get the best of you. On the other hand, those of you that are arcade buffs or are particularly good at sports games should love it.

    Not only has NFL Tour dropped the ball, it's completely taken the air out of the old NFL Street series entirely. The tricks, attitude and character that made its predecessors enjoyable is lost in favor of unbalanced play, missing incentives to progress through a bland tour, and a horrible presentation.
  4. Basic and boring gameplay, teamed with poor presentation, anemic customization and a total lack of motivation to actually win make the prospects of NFL Tour’s future less likely than the return of the XFL.

    This is one of the best games I have ever played! Where are all the bad reviews coming from. Play it before you judge it!

    I'm not saying they couldn't have done more, but has anyone even _tried_ the alternate rules or mini-games (Smash N' Dash is LOT of fun to play). The game is FUN to play... it feels like it could have used some more dev time, because it's definitely rough around the edges, and the create-a-player is just about insulting, but it sounds like people aren't even giving it a chance, which is a shame because there is fun to be had here, especially for $40.

    Garbage, from its 'roid-raging cover athlete to its inexplicable control scheme to its bizarre inclusion of television (un)funny man Jay Mohr. If you complain about Madden's seeming lack of innovation, one needs only look at this game to see the dark side of "innovation". Expand

    This is almost a non-playable game. They have the NFL license, use it! This is Madden's physically and mentally impaired step-brother. Don't waste your money! Expand
