August 9, 2007 - "Best Madden ever"? Well, EA's still gotta get its online act together before we can bestow such an honor. But we definitely do feel bad for folks like Pacman Jones and Tank Johnson -- these guys won't be part of the best Madden in a long while.
August 14, 2007 - While it has been difficult to wholeheartedly recommend a Madden football game for a few years, Madden NFL 08 is a significant improvement over the series' past, and has refined the formula in such a way that it actually brings something new to the game.
August 17, 2007 - They say the third time's the charm and this is certainly the case with this generation of Madden. All the modes have finally made the starting lineup, and there are successful tweaks and additions to both the gameplay and options.
September 4, 2007 - Madden 08 stands by itself as a respectable, rewarding sim, but judged in the context of last season, it's merely a mild, expensive improvement.
August 13, 2007 - Madden NFL 08 is a great game. It's certainly the best Madden since the 2005 edition and a worthy offering for the new generation of gaming.
September 7, 2007 - In the end, Madden 08 is the most realistic football experience on consoles. It also happens to be the most challenging Madden since as far back as I can remember.
August 15, 2007 - Ever since its debut 1990, Madden has been the premiere football game, but all of their next gen versions have been - well -- lazy. Fortunately, Madden NFL 08 is righting many of their wrongs and looking to broaden their audience even more.
