Madden NFL 07 3+ Xbox 360 Game

Old Man Madden is now approaching instalment number 20 as far as the American Football games go, and the constantly evolving series is back in 2006 for another punt with the prophetically-titled Madden NFL 2007. That’s about as ‘future’ as this game gets, however, with the gameplay pretty much left alone from last time (nothing wrong with that) and just a sprinkling of new features added to the modern Madden experience. Those new features alongside old favourites such as the Hall of Fame Mode, Authentic Defensive NFL Playbooks and the Franchise Mode, make this year’s model a worthwhile purchase. The all-new lead blocker controls allow you, for the first time ever, to throw the perfect block to create a hole in the opposition defence, thus letting you gain a huge advantage should you get it right. ‘Neat-o!’ as they say. Player-specific running moves are featured too, allowing you to elude or knock down defenders with new jukes and power moves. So it’s massive in America (well, duh!) but still – after all these years – something of an acquired taste over the pond in Europe, but bless EA and its little tube socks for making things simple for those not entirely au fait with the finer points of this sport. Rookies are directed toward the ‘Ask Madden’ button in-game. If the old fella can’t advise you of the best play to make, no-one can.
