Purenintendo Review – Madden 2010

By  •  Wii

It’s that time of year again, Football time!!! With the start of the NFL regular season underway, it is a good time to take a look at Madden 2010!

This year, for Madden, EA decided to build the game from the ground up, with all new features and look. Some of the changes are pretty nice and a welcome change, other of them (graphics) are not as welcome. I’m going to start getting into technical Madden and football terms. So for those of you who are not big fans but are a little curious about this game, I will give you my score of this game now. For those who are into Madden and football, please continue reading on.

I give Madden 2010 a 7 out of 10.
