Madden 10 Wii Reviews

NintendoWorldReport – 90
While you’re still playing a regular old game of football, the variety of ways that you can play that game is grand and makes this a terrific title for casual football fans of any age.

As EA Sports continues to develop and fine-tune the “All-Play” concept on the Wii editions of its annual sports releases, hardcore gamers will continue to be disappointed by the perceived emphasis on drawing in novice fans. With advents like the “Call Your Shots” mode, it’s not like the developers completely ignored the veteran fan base, but the long-term direction of these Wii versions is evident. In the end, if you want the most realistic football sim on the market, maybe you should rethink your future with a Nintendo console obviously committed toward bringing together gamers of all ages and backgrounds. But if you’re looking an inclusive experience suitable for any level of player — and a perfectly enjoyable football game for the hardcore set — there’s no need to overthink it: Madden is still the one.

Madden 10 is a fun Wii game – It just isn’t one I see many current Madden players getting into over a true-to-NFL offering. EA will grab new fans with this year’s Wii game, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it also pushes away old fans in the process.

That EA is making a concerted effort to create something unique for Wii is admirable, but at the end of the day, I’d rather play Madden NFL 09. [Sept 2009, p.89; score increased from 7.5 on Oct 2010, p.92]
