Video Game Reviews of Madden 2006
Customer Review: An upgrade from 2005, but that's not saying much
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't know what EA is waiting for with the DS Madden franchise. Every year the fans line up on promises of new features, and every year we're delivered an incrementally improved piece of crippleware. Maybe instead of shoehorning an MP3 of a single Foo Fighters song on the cart they could've taken a little more time and fleshed out the franchise mode so it resembled the console version. There are very few ways in which you could reasonably expect the portable game to accurately resemble the full version, but that's one of them.
Moreover, while I appreciate the desire to implement some sort of touchscreen alternate control scheme, it should be 100% optional, and it isn't. You can play most of the game without the stylus, but every time you want to kick you have to drag that stylus out and use the wonky kicking gesture that never really seems to work right. Would A-button power and accuracy a-la the older console version have been such a bad thing?
This is an ugly game. Ugly as sin. Ugly as the devil's own face. But you know what? All through it I got the impression that with just a few tweaks it would be a very playable game. That's probably enough to get some people lining up for next year's version... but it's a wait I strongly advise taking.
