The slightly sportier version for the implementation of Madden NFL 2008 has been published recently for the Nintendo Wii. While the Xbox 360 offers a graphic Fireworks, the Wii in this respect leaves much to be desired. If she can get some advantages for the use of the intuitive Wii controller, you will find in our test.
Gameplay
Nintendo advertised in the past more often with the Wii console for young and old. Even when Madden NFL 2008 soon becomes clear that no pick this phrases were, because it almost completely dispenses with a level of difficulty. The choice between the two levels of difficulty is not difficult the ambitious user. Either you can swing only the Wii remote, what an interesting and above all very quickly-to-learn game experience is safe for beginners, for the normal player brings no challenge. Therefore, only the "Advanced mode" which in itself is not one remains. Here, you control your player with nunchuck and Wii remote. I will go up on the control but only further below more detail. The main component of the game is the franchise (season with playoffs). You choose a team and controls the player, who is currently on the ball. When the offense the quarterback after the throw, and the receiver. In the defense, you may freely choose which man you want to take. You can therefore try to directly attack the opposing quarterback and possibly to "SAG" so him to tear it down before the litter was carried out, or trying to intercept the football while he is still in the air (interception). Should the receiver of the other team have caught the ball, or the other team try a run, so it is important to promote the opposing player as quickly as possible on the lawn. Partially spectacular looks, and fun. Unfortunately, it will happen the inexperienced players more often that he jumps with his man in the empty and the opposing runner scored a touchdown.The playbook with his many moves is completely under your control. Of course you may rely again on the experienced Madden, which tells you the moves it deems best, if you want that. Otherwise the choice between race or match, which again is divided into different actions (short, medium and long pass; Run through the middle or outside). I noticed that there are differences between the opposing teams. While I successfully down could stop several runs in the first game with a first, I reached him second and third game so pure even nothing more. Also tactical components such as time game can be used cleverly with the run or the pass. For inexperienced: A run time running after the terminate further while the time is stopped when a pass. If it results in a team so that she will employ mainly runs shortly before the end, to run the clock down as far as possible. Also, you lose the ball not as fast as in a litter, for not so many yards like in a litter can bypass. As soon as you you a little played up in this matter, the game is more interesting. Unfortunately the low difficulty level pushes here very bitter. While I barely lost the first two games, I achieved my first victory in the third. This is me personally too quickly, because the long-term game fun will really suffer. Also the own players make some slightly strange. Rather than to assist you in the punt return, they remain happy times and look into the air.
Mini-games
NFL 2008 is waiting with a few smaller mini-games can be challenged only in multiplayer mode. This includes, for example, a quiz in which her very specific knowledge of the NFL must possess. For example, when was which player traded, etc. I think so what are few know. At one another these games you may take on human opponents in a normal match 1-4, however without nunchuck. The mini-games to build so mainly on the fun factor by many players.
Control
The controls are quite logically constructed and therefore quick to learn. With the Nunchuck, you move the player and can do a tackle. With the B button on the remote, it runs faster and with the A button, you move the player. To throw, catching a punt/kick run and you must move the remote in certain directions. That usually also works quite well. Still no real satisfaction will adjust itself, because the capabilities of the remote are significantly higher. So one could have made even more dependent on the user, for example, the thickness of the litter. At least I couldn't notice any difference so far in the throws. But can they employ for a Bodycheck by man leads them straight forward and so more likely to obtain a fumble (ball is lost before the opposing player touched the floor with the knees).
Graphics and sound
One of the major shortcomings in Madden 08 is the graphics. It is compared to the next-gen console Xbox360 very pixelated and blurry. It is at its worst when changing the view in the game briefly, because then the player for a short time are extremely blurred. This looks then more particularly great. Sound, however, is well done, here, there seems to be no major differences to the other consoles.
Madden NFL 2008 comes to graphically shaky feet. Because it is more serious that the long-term game fun is not supported by the lower degree of difficulty. So it would be quite in the range of the possible, without already in the first season of the Super Bowl, to play with great practice, if it brings a playful experience. Is this game especially for inexperienced casual gamers who want to make American football somewhat familiar with the matter. Here, the mini-games in familiar round offer an interesting challenge. For casual players so absolutely to recommend, because through the simple control and low challenge it comes fully at his own expense, which is fun.
