RipTen MEGA Review: Madden NFL 13

Chad Lakkis writes: Buckle up for a the most complete review of Madden '13 you could possibly hope for.

With every EA Sports Madden NFL release I struggle to bring myself to write a review. Why you ask? Because it causes multiple voices in my head to scream various things at me all at the same time. Hate it! Love it! Abolish it! Worship it! Crap on it! Take it out to dinner! Tell it to make you a sandwich then kick it to the curb! and so on.

Oh, and the first person to "tl;dr" this is going to get stuffed into John Madden's turkey this Thanksgiving. We promise.

Finally someone who gave this game a score it deserved. For all the changes they made to franchise mode, they equally took out key essential features. And not to mention the inconsistencies of the physics engine. Smh maybe next year...

Thanks. Chad worked really hard on dissecting every bit of this game.

ninjabake4256d ago

And he did a great job breaking it down. Kudos.

CoryHG4256d ago

Seriously? you complained they removed the sh#tty rap and emo music? That's ok. I stopped reading there, besides the cheerleader comment. You're looking for reasons to bash this game.

PaladinXII4256d ago

I'm preeeeeeetty sure there was some tongue-in-cheek in there. Perhaps you should read just a little more. Ya know, because... reading comprehension!

Nostradavis4256d ago

Thanks for the comment Corey.

Madden 13 is garbage and people like Feldman9000 keep convincing EA that its on the right track. You are the one looking for reasons to support them. This writer simply told it like it is and I commend him.

My beer mug is empty so that's all for now.

Wow thats terrible.. I bet whoever gets paid off scores it high

I think it's the best Madden yet, So F#ck what you nerds think.

ninjabake4254d ago

Nerds? LOL you are on a gaming site homie.

And in response to your comment "I think its the best Madden yet" have you ever played Madden 2004, 2005, or 07 on the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube? Last gen Maddens had some of the most robust feature sets ever in a football game.

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "This is the sixth entry in a series of articles I’m writing that will look at all of the games available in a particular genre on the Vita. The articles will highlight all Vita-native games, as well as any backwards-compatible PSP and PS1 titles that can be downloaded in English (i.e. from the EU or NA stores), and will include some commentary on how well those games run on Vita and whether they fill any missing gaps in the library."

Top 10 Sports Games Of The Generation

In many ways, this past console generation was a brutal one for sports video games. While other genres flourished, sports gamers were subjected to an irreversible thinning of the herd, losing MLB 2K, 2K Sports football, NHL 2K, both NCAA basketball franchises, and seeing arcade sports games all but vanish. Competition, which breeds innovation, is weaker than ever. But that’s not to say some standout games didn’t arrive as well.
