Critic Reviews

91 GameSpot
A wonderful re-creation of the sport of football that controls well, looks good, and has enough packed in to keep you busy for a while. But most importantly, the game is just superfun.
80 GamePro
Unfortunately, the game shows not only its age, but also the console’s age and its considerable weaknesses.
76 GameShark
Madden NFL 2002 and "Madden NFL 2001" are basically the same games, with new rosters, new modes of play, and a new name.
70 Electronic Gaming Monthly
It’s too bad there’s no way to work on defense other than getting pummeled by the CPU game after game. [Oct 2001, p.154]
58 Core Magazine
If you're expecting Madden 2002 on the N64 to compare in any way, shape or form with the PlayStation 2 version, you're going to be sorely disappointed.
