Review: Madden 2007 (PSP*)

Graphics- 7/10
Sound- 8/10
Gameplay- 9/10
Replay Value- 9/10
Overall- 8.5/10

This is the same game only put onto the PSP. Madden '07 brings back the same features that you're used to without anything new.

The graphics in this game are great for the PSP. However if glitches bother you this game will drive you crazy. The one main glitch is what I like to call "button switching." This annoying and somewhat common glitch is only noticed before a play. If you want to change a play or view the play on the field you hit "R" and it zooms out and shows the play with the button assigned to each player. However sometimes when you do this it will mix up the buttons (it always fixes itself before the play.) There are other minor glitches you might notice on instant replays, but your not likely to catch them during gameplay. The only other flaw is the announcing, which will sometime repeat or delay itself. Otherwise the second Madden title on the PSP has a nice overall feel and quality to it. I also really enjoy showing it to people who are unaware of what the PSP is capable of - the usually say something along the lines of "Dude, that looks like PS2 graphics." Another positive thing is the load times have been cut in half this year, which is always positive. The game does have some minor lag but it's not that bad and it's present all Madden versions. I can't wait to see if these glitches will be fixed on '08 or not.

Pros: Great graphics. Better load times than last year. Same Madden we've come to know.

Cons: Glitches, Glitches, and Glitches. Al Micheals calling is sometimes messed up. Same Madden we've come to know.
