Madden NFL 11 by EA Sports for iPad
Is It Any Good?
Madden fans are a diverse bunch. Some want absolute realism in the game, while others simply want a fun football arcade game. Madden NFL 11 for iPad offers both. It's a gorgeous game that's fairly easy to control, but some of the included gameplay modes, like GameFlow (which calls the plays for you) could aggravate players. (The mode can be turned off, though.) It's not the same as the console version of the game -- and there are a number of holes, such as the missing (but forthcoming) multiplayer mode and franchise mode -- but with the extra screen size of the iPad, it's the best mobile version of the game.
