"This is a pretty fun Madden game. Although I did get tired of the game very fast, I would reccoment this game. It could be more difficult though, and also it doesn't change too much from the other football games and Madden games. Good graphics obviously because it is for 360."

What's great about it: Pretty fun to play with friends. Pretty good graphics.
What's not so great: Boring after a while. Not much to do. Way too easy unless on all madden then it's O.K.

"Wait for Madden Nfl10. I might get it I don't know. This game gets better I guess. But it's still really boring. It's as good as an NFL game can get. But still. Needs more variety. And I know they can do it.

WAIT FOR 2010!!!!!!!!!!

What's great about it: Its a fun game with almost unlimited ways to play. Will keep you entertained long after Madden 2010 arrives.
What's not so great: Its different than what some Madden fans are used to The camera angle is awkward and some gameplay features are annoying

"I bought this game as soon as it was released last August mostly because Brett Favre is my favorite player and did not really think about really if the game was going to be any good. I had heard that it was different than 08 version. I did not really see a difference between any of the other versions, but only improvements. The gameplay is as real as ever. The graphics are flawless and there are features on the game that would keep any football fan playing for months and months. The die hards have something to keep them going and those newbies are able to just pick this game right up with out difficulty due to the Madden IQ system which was new this year. This games lasting appeal is second to none and any sports fan should have this in their game collection."

What's not so great: difficulty and dynasty mode

"Now there is a madden test where it finds the difficulty that is suited for you. So if you really good at passing but arre terriable at rush defense, no more getting killed on all madden. Trust me its pretty sweet. But if your like me and can win 70-0 on all madden, its way too easy. Another thing i don't like is that dynasty mode is the same thing since madden '04! But all-in-all its a fun game."

What's great about it: the realistic draft, dynasty play, mini-games
What's not so great: random freezes, either win in blowout or lose in a blowout

"This is a great game overall with the realistic draft process. It's gameplay is great. The dynasty and mini-games are very well brought up... But if you buy this game, I would highly recommend saving as much as possible because the game would randomly freeze up in a game and I would lose all my gameplay. Another issue is that when me, my family, friends. etc. play this game we always win by 45 points or lose by 30 points there is no consistency in the opponents toughness and there is never a close game"

"This game is the best football game today and I hope 2010 came be even better. The graphics and movitons of the players have be improved greatly. Gamplay is tons of fun by doing franchise mode or playing with a friend. Plus, for the first time madden actually looks and feels next generation. EA really did a great job with this game and I hope they can keep it up."

"i got this game for christmas and i love it. you have this new thing in the game called rewinds where you can rewind the play if your opponet scored a touchdown or interception. you can get unlimited rewinds if you want. and also the graphics are just amazing for the 360. if you have a flat screen and a HD cable it will be like youre actually there. my mom came downstairs once and she thought i was watching a football game. this is the best madden yet. there are many new things installed in the game. i would highly recommened this game if you love the madden games"

What's great about it: adapts to your ability, great graphics, great gameplay, great game modes
What's not so great: cant create a playbook

"This game is amazing!!! I don't have many games for my XBOX because this one just can't be beat. Everything about it is great; the graphics, the game play, the Madden IQ option...you name it. The only thing that it lacks is create-a-playbook. Regarding that, it is an awesome game. I play my brother all the time and (no offense if your reading this) he is not as good as me in many subjects. He just always passes and since we both took the Madden IQ Test, it adapts so i can intercept it more often to get him to mix up his offense alittle. Also my pass defense skills aren't too great so when I'm playing the CPU, they kind of go easy on me and help me out. This game is the best possible sports game you can buy for the XBOX 360!!!!!!!"

"I just got the Madden 09 games 3 weeks ago and so far i love it. The graphics are great, i cant stop playing the superstar mode, the only downside is that theres no Brett Favre but I can live without it, and the good part is you dont have to be a huge football fan for this game. Overall I would recommend this game to anyone,"
