IGN recently had the chance to get their hands on a copy of Madden 2009. From what they are saying it looks very promising. Take a look:
The entire review can be found here. Madden NFL 09 is set to release tomorrow for the Wii, PS3, 360, and PSP.
EA celebrates 20 years of Madden this year, and it's pretty obvious that the company is pulling out all the stops in making this one of the best years of videogame football the industry has ever seen. On the 360 and PS3 front, another giant leap has been made into the next true generation of Madden, with the new Madden IQ system and a laundry list of over 75 new tweaks and feature upgrades to make sure players are getting the best balling experience out there; and nobody's really stepping up to try and stop them.
On the Wii front, things are taking a bit of a different turn, but not one that's overly bold this reviewer's opinion, or one that's out to alienate anyone from the game of football. Yes, EA has put the new "All-Play" name on its product this year (and more than just Madden), but after putting this year though its respective paces, we're on EA's side on this move. The company has managed to open the game of football to a wider audience with simpler control, easier interface, and an "anyone can play" philosophy that actually does come through, while at the same time making the game entirely customizable and open for the hardcore gamers. If you found it in previous Wii Madden games, you're going to find it here, and you'll most likely find it refined or improved on in some way.
