It’s been a few days since Madden 2008 has hit the shelves and it’s interesting to see the reviews and criticism are out. It’s the 20th year of Madden and it’s come a long way since the original version. There are two versions of Madden 2008 available, for the XBOX360 and the PS3. There is also a PC version available at a future date.

Overall gameplay is solid with no noticable pixel delays, all the rosters and players have been updated. Brett Favre has even been updated as a member of the New York Jets via a roster download and cover download via easports.com. Various game sites and blogs have given Madden 2008 a 8/10 for overall gameplay, but we really enjoy it and the Madden franchise a lot. 9/10.
