The Reviews Are Coming in: Madden is for Real Stuck

I want to preface this by saying I have only played the demo, as I am one of the unlucky ones who hasn't found a place selling the game early.

However, I am very impressed at the (so far) critical acclaim Madden NFL 10 is getting. Not only that, but OSers who own the game are overwhelmingly giving the game positive marks so far. There are dissenters in the bunch, but I honestly think that only the most die-hard and bitter 2K football fans will find reason to hate Madden NFL 10.

For the rest of us, Madden NFL 10 looks to be (finally) the series' arrival on next-gen. It certainly took long enough, and I'm sure many will attest to that simple fact, but the bar has been raised even within Tiburon itself. NCAA Football honestly looks bush league at this point compared to Madden, as Madden is now easily more than a year ahead of NCAA.

As with all titles, it is still too early to tell if Madden is truly a game of the year type of game at this point, but the early returns are similar to our past winners. That has to have the folks down in Orlando smiling from ear to ear.
