The new Xbox 360 has been all the craze - and one of the most dominating game series of all-time, Madden, is once again a staple in advertising and marketing. So you want to know if it is worth $59.99? Here's the scoop on Madden 2006 for Xbox 360.
Gameplay:
The graphics are absolutely amazing. There is no other game on Xbox 360 that has such realistic graphics. However, these graphics cannot make up for a loss in gameplay. The franchise mode is very limited and you cannot challenge calls during a game. The game does play great though. Running is quite difficult, as this is the first time Xbox 360 has used this game engine to produce Madden. Get used to it, as it will be the same engine they use for future games.
Online Play:
The online play is VERY limited. You cannot participate in any tournaments and there is no such thing as Fair Play (opponents can go for it on 4th down, run no-huddle over and over, etc). Also, the precision passing and a few of the buttons have been changed, so there will be some getting used to if you play previous Madden games. Although there are updated rosters, some injured players can be subbed in. Another note, if you use the EA Locker feature for Madden 2006 for Xbox, then you might be dissapointed (this version does not have EA Locker).
Also, it is VERY difficult to scount your opponents prior to a game. You cannot view their tendancies or previous statistics.
Overall:
I'm not sure I would pay $59.99 for this game. If you need to play football for Xbox 360, this is your only choice. If you are very strict about gameplay (especially online) I would suggest you maybe pick this up used for $30.00 and then go out and purchase NBA 2k6.
The reason it gets 4/5 is because of graphics. It is still amazing to me. I will say this though, if you having been playing Madden for a long time you will see that the gameplay and features are more like Madden 2001.
EA Sports had to rush out the production of this game to be released for the 360. Expect a huge improvement for 2007.
