Pros: Controls, ease of play, sounds, music, and telestrator Cons: Not all that different than previous versions I've played. The Bottom Line: Playing Madden on the Wii is fun, but don't expect the new Madden to be all that ground breaking. from Shopping.com love the minigames. alright graphics. get this instead of wasting your money on madden 09 "all play". there is actually "all play in 08 too. from Amazon.com If you are looking for this game to be like the other Maddens you will be suprised. Couch potatos will NOT like this one as you will be active. from Amazon.com I picked up Madden '08 when it was marked down after '09 was released. I love playing the franchise mode and shaping "da bearsh" into a champion. from Amazon.com I want to start by saying that the game itself is pretty good, and the Wii-exclusive features (2v2, telestrator, etc) are a definite bonus. That said, the controls for the Wii are a let down. I have been an avid Madden fan since 1999, and every year, the controls get slightly more complex, but they build upon the previous year's controls. from Amazon.com I didn't buy it, rather I rented the game first to try. I had heard 07 had some issues that needed to be worked out and was expecting 08 to have them ironed out...so 08 was the first Wii version I've played. I also have 05 and 06 for my Xbox. from Amazon.com The presentation is very poor and playbooks are practically unintelligble on smaller sized televisions. Additionally, the tutorial mode is also poorly done and rather sparse. At least one other EA Sports title- FIFA 08- contains voice-over for the tutorial, whereas Madden does not. Nor does the tutorial get into more advanced concepts. from Amazon.com I was greatly disappointed at the responsiveness of the wii-mote on this one. Your moves all seem a beat behind and many of the glitches should have been corrected prior to the release date. This is my first bad experience with the Wii and most of it stems from Madden just being a stale game overall, with very few changes over the last six years or so. There's just no excitement or "punch" in this year's version, no hard hitting action and the online mode is an utter disaster. from Amazon.com I've owned every Madden since the beginning and I wanted to cry when I started to see all the flaws these people put into this game. A very lazy job by everyone who was involved. from Amazon.com I like Madden 08 on the Wii. I have heard it is glitchy, and buggy, but I have as yet come across any said, "Bugs". from Amazon.com
