Madden NFL 09 (Playstation 3, 2008)

The only thing holding Madden '09 from an excellent rating in my opinion is that it has little improvements over '08 but none the less they are imrpovements and no shortcomings. The Gameplay is still enjoyable as well as the look of the game itself is much smoother and quite beautiful. The hits in the game continue to look better and better every Madden and '09 is no exception. The animations of the players are getting better and better (to me they never really looked as though they were sprinting when you hit the sprint button, but that's not the case anymore). The new commentary is great and doesn't make you feel so damn lonely with the radio announcer. Even just the camera flashes in the crowd in my mind really helps to capture a little more realism in the game. If you haven't purchased Madden '08 this is a MUST own. If you do own Madden '08 (like I do) there are really no new game features for you, but I still don't think you'll be disappointed.
