Madden NFL 07

"You might have some fun with this after Thanksgiving dinner playing with your cousin who doesn't really game much, but for serious football, you'll turn to your standby on the other consoles."

"Madden NFL 07 for the Wii isn't just a quick-and-dirty port. It's an excellent use of the Wii's motion-sensing capabilities that revitalizes Madden in a number of ways."

"I've been playing Madden games since the Genesis days, and Madden NFL 07 for the Wii is the most fun I've had with the franchise in a long time. Maybe it's the sheer novelty aspect of the control that has me hooked, and I'll quite possibly get tired of the game if I can't find enough people to play with, seeing as how there's no online support for the console. But on its own merits, Madden 07 for the Wii is as exciting a development in sports games as I've seen in a long time, and should be experienced by anyone with even a passing interest in a good game of football."

"Madden NFL 07 for the Nintendo Wii is a great game. The developers really took the time necessary to make sure the game felt very responsive and not gimmicky. After playing the game on the Nintendo Wii it is hard to go back to the other versions as the game now draws you in it more and makes you feel that you are more a part of the game."

"Madden 07 offers a faster and more brutal game of football, and the added motion control makes pulling off complex football maneuvers easier than it’s ever been. The game is constantly offering pointers to newcomers as well, whether it’s in the on-the-fly tutorials accessible at any time during a game, or in the success/failure prompts that tell you instantly if your motion was too early, too late, or dead on. Madden 07 leaves definite room for improvement, but it’s a tremendous leap in the right direction. If Madden 07 is any indication expect EA and Nintendo to become very, very good friends this generation."
