NFL Tour: What Does this Game Suck!

After creating the monster hit that has spawned twenty years and has been available on nearly every gaming console known to man, EA for some reason always tries to outdo themselves with football games for the Xbox 360—when clearly they should just stick to their surefire winner: Madden. But, at any rate, they decided to make this piece of crap, arcade-styled football game, and yes, it does indeed suck, especially when compared to Madden. Basically take Madden and really dumb it down, cutting it to a fourth of its potential. Then make the graphics worse. Then offer cheap plays on both sides of the ball, where you can hit opponents and penalties are nearly nonexistent. In fact, about the only thing that rings real in my mind, with regards to this game, is that you are playing football.

The playbooks suck and are really tiny, offering few plays. The buttons are so simple; it’s like a game that your two year old brother could master in minutes. The main mode, the Tour, is where you can take your nothing team to the we-don’t-care playoffs. The graphics are lacking, the teams are lacking, the realism is non apparent and this game just all around screams: throw me in the garbage bin!

“Why did EA spend money on this piece of junk when they could have raised the budget for the next Madden game and offered us all a bit more? Hey EA, take some of your own advice when it comes to football video games: Madden is and always will be the King!”

My Score: 2 out of 10
