Madden NFL 06: Madden Scores a Touchdown for 360
Company: EA Tiburon

Roll out the red carpet of football games because Madden NFL 06 is taking the leap into the next generation. But don?t worry if you?ve already bought a copy for one of those other consoles, because this version isn?t just a port like some other launch titles out there. The 360 version of Madden NFL 06 was made specifically for this powerhouse of a console.

Not only will you get the same great Madden gameplay that has ruled the field for decades, but you?re in for a visual treat like no other. The developers over at EA Tiburon have gone so far as to even visit every professional stadium in an effort to recreate them to very impressive standards. It?s true that EA Sports has held the slogan for many years, but it isn?t until now that we can really see that ?if it?s in the game, it?s in the game.?

Player models are equally re-touched and they look superb. If this is just a taste of what?s to come on the 360, the next five years promise to make a grown man cry happy tears. All it takes is one look to know that even if you?ve already dug your heals into the PS2, Xbox, or GameCube version, every single sports fan with an Xbox 360 should pick up Madden NFL 06 at launch.
