EAs new Madden football game is here for Xbox 360 and Wii! Get the 411 on the action with Garys Madden NFL 08 game review.

EA is dropping another family play mode for noob gamers - like your parents. Xbox 360 players don't get those options, instead you get to turn your gaming skills into real bling cuz you can order a real NFL ring (made by the same folks who make the NFL Super Bowl rings) with all your achievements on it. There's also a Read and React system that gives you instant info on what each player can do - it's a great way to plan your plays!

Fumbles and Fouls 5zr13

There aren't many blunders in this game, but there are a few. The biggest is that the online gaming is weak, but there a handful of weird game glitches that can mess up your fun as well. The crazy number of controls is rough on new players too! The Wii fixes that, but has seriously crummy graphics compared to the Xbox 360.

It's an excellent football game with a few flaws. The "Read and React" info is awesome, the new features are a blast and the Wii version's Family Mode helps get past the mind-boggling number of controls. Madden NFL 08 kicks a whole lot of butt.
