EA's Madden football returns with Madden NFL '07 for the Xbox 360! How does the great-grandaddy football video game handle on Microsoft's super-powerful game system? Gary tossed the digital pigskin around, and checked out the powered-up superstar mode, to bring you his Madden NFL '07 game review!

Madden Football Video Game Basics

This game brings you the classic American game of football, with the best players and teams, but with you in charge of the show! You can control your fave team, in online and offline games for tons of football action. Or, you can create a football superstar of your own and live his life as he trains for the big games, gets interviewed by the press, hires an agent and makes the game-winning plays!

Touchdowns and End Zone Celebrations in Madden NFL '07

It starts with the graphics - wow! From the realistic faces to the grass of the field, the Xbox 360 makes Madden NFL '07 look great. It's also fun to play, especially the new option to control your blockers as you run with the ball. The biggest booya has to be the upgraded Superstar Mode though - it has more options and fewer bugs than in Madden NFL '06.

Fumbles, Interceptions and Groin Pulls!

The biggest problem with Madden NFL '07 is that it's a bit buggy. There's some lag and stuttering in online games, the fatigue-ometer is messed and there are a few other items that don't work properly. It won't ruin your game, but it's annoying.

Madden NFL '07 - All-Star or Bench Warmer?
