Madden 09 For Xbox 360 Review

Madden 09 may be the best madden to date. It has tons of new features and great graphics. My favorite new feature is the "My skill". It has you take 4 test one for Offensive Running, Offensive Passing, Rush Defense, and Pass Defense. Each test test your skill in that area in a neon like field. It give you a rank for each skill called your "Madden IQ".

Then when you play a game it sets the difficulty level to how you did in the test. The best part is if in a game you did great running the ball but bad defending the pass your next game when you run the ball the difficulty will be turned up and next time you are defending the pass the difficulty will go down.

Another new feature is the "EA Rewind". This lets you "rewind" or replay a certain number of plays each game. This feature is more for the people who are new to the game. One thing I noticed while playing this game is they finally got rid of John Maddens annoying voice.=D. Sorry John but 19 years of commentary is enough. John is being replaced with Tom Hammond and Cris Collinsworth who are annoying also but what announcer isn't. Hell there still better then John. Another feature I like about this game is the "rivalry games".

Many maddens before this one have had rivalry games but the difference is that in this game all rivalry(and playoff in dynasty mode) are harder to play. So now Tom Brady can't exactly just plow his way threw the Jets he will have to use some skill. There are also some new Online features. You can now make a "league" which can hold up to 32 players, be password protected and so on.

In a league you can set up a season and even have playoff games against each other. The controls are great the highlight stick is back and better then ever. If there was anything I could change about this game it would be some kind of online fantasy draft. Overall it is a good game and I give it a 8.5 out of 10.

Please message me at razzjets94@aol.com for questions on the game or to request a review for a different game.

Reuters - World stocks and the euro rallied on Thursday, driven by bargain-hunting and sweeping gains in emerging markets after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates and opened swap lines to four developing economies.
