Video Game Reviews of Madden NFL 2005
Customer Review: great game
Summary: 4 Stars
the graphics are just horrible but when you get used to the controlls and everything this game is greatCustomer Review: The best portable version of Madden
Summary: 4 Stars
MADDEN is easily the best handheld version of the game available. It uses the two touch screens for awesome applications, like selecting plays and calling audibles. It also uses a radar screen during the actual play to show you where all of your players are. Its down side is the graphics. EA should have done much better to show of the capabilities of the DS. Shame on them.
Seems people are trying to compare the DS MADDEN to console games. This is not at all fair, since you can't compare to the realism, control, and realistic tackles of the big consoles.
That being said, it is still the best portable football game on the market, even with only average graphics and sound.
Bottom line is, it is fun to play, and being able to hook up wirelessly with a friend is great.
Customer Review: Totally Rushed
Summary: 1 Stars
I have litterally owned every Madden since the Sega debut and I can without question say that this is by far the worst version ever. Madden '92 on the Genesis absolutely blows this game away. NFL Football on the Turbo Graphix 16 kills this game. As a die-hard madden fan it is a shame that EA rushed the heck out of this game to make the DS launch. I feel totally ripped-off and duped. What a shame, EA. Customer Review: Portable Madden... the gameplay, however...
Summary: 3 Stars
I just purchased this game. And, even though it's on a brand new system, I still kind of expected something better. I'm not at all dismayed by the graphics. After all, this is the very first Madden game for the new Nintendo DS. So, I'm pretty sure that in future installments, the graphics will get better.
Gameplay, on the other hand, is another aspect. Let's just say that I came close to purchasing a new DS system after just buying it on Sunday (November 21, 2004). The throw of the ball is way too quick, and I find it hard trying to get my receiver to even dive for the touchdown.
Plus, I really wish there was a feature where you can customize the controls to make the gameplay a little easier.
If you must have a football game for your DS, this, for now, is the only way to go. Madden fans will love it. Others may wanna give it some thought before shelling out $40 for it.
Customer Review: Could have been better

madden, madden, madden...
when EA first released the pics of this game, they PROMISED to make the graphics better. while the game looks OK for a portable system, it has some graphical issues. The DS's hardware makes it possible to EXCEED the old 64 graphics, so if any of you remember the last Maddens for the 64 (2001- 2002?) this game does NOT at all match up to the graphics. the football looks more like a rock than a smooth pigskin. perhaps this is an issue of resolution, i dont really know and i dont care. I want better graphics and it is unfair to everyone to have to wait another year and spend $40 more to buy the "update". Gameplay is still solid, but it just seems a bit rushed to me. For diehard madden fans only.
overall score: 6.4/10
