What Parents Need to Know
This review of Madden NFL 08 was written by Marc Saltzman
Parents need to know not all Madden NFL 08 games are equal. The Xbox 360 version is by far the best version out of the new consoles, followed by the Wii and then PS3. For families with young football fans, the Wii version has an option to simplify the controls, making it easier for newbies to play. See our platform reviews below for more information. Parents also need to know that most of the versions offer an online component, which Common Sense Media does not recommend for anyone under age 12.

What’s the Story?
MADDEN NFL 08 introduces a new gameplay feature called "weapons," which are special skills assigned to elite players to reinforce what makes them great. For example, when activated, LaDainian Tomlinson becomes a truck who plows through defenders, whereas a smart quarterback, like Peyton Manning, can read the field and expose players who simply stick to their money plays. As introduced in the 2007 version, NFL Superstar: Hall of Fame mode is back, where you create a player from scratch and then work your way up from a nobody to an NFL star to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But your actions on and off the field will have an impact on your career: Should you take that endorsement deal or movie role?
Is It Any Good?
Madden NFL 08 is packed with new features and improvements over past iterations, and it's gorgeous to boot -- especially on the Xbox 360. Just be forewarned that the PlayStation 3 version has some well-publicized kinks -- including a frame-rate considerably slower than its Xbox 360 counterpart. The running, passing, and defensive game is top-notch, plus veteran gamers will notice some tweaks to the already solid control. Add multiple game modes such as the Mini-Camp skill-based games and head-to-head Internet support and you've got promising pigskin, once again.
Too bad the same can't be said for the PS3 version, which has some gamers up in arms over its relatively slow performance. The Wii version lacks some of the slick production values found in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, but younger players will enjoy the motion-sensing remote as an alternative control mechanism (this is improved over last year as well).

A sweet video game (even if you don't play sports)
This game is way cool! It has fun game modes, such as party mode or NFL superstar where you get to build your character and live through him as a rookie. I am 12 and I play sports, but not football. This game has "hit sticks" (shoveing pretty hard) but there's no blood or gore or any of that nonsense. It's really fun for me maybe because I have the wii. You get to use arm motions to do basically every play.

This is the BEST Madden ever -- it will probably will be forever
Madden 08 is awesome!The franchise mode is the best.You can move your team to a different city.Also party mode is cool.It is designed so you can play with friends.Also I would put the graphics at the top of the list.The minicamp is awesome there are lots of games like ground attack and chase and tackle.You can choose your favorite team and the computer will put the team's logo on the screen.In NFL Superstar you can make your own person like choose what college they went to and their age and name and then lead them to a perfect rookie season.Also you can play online which means you hook up to your computer.In play now you can play with any team 1 player or 2 player.There is also a little better choice of music.
