Launched last month, NFL Madden 08 for PSP is a good football game but not as good as the game that came out last year. The game still has bugs that were not completely eliminated from last year's issue. Examples of these are the punt returns by the receiving teams. Punt returners often exhibit confusing actions on what to do with the ball. Other bugs include receivers and defensive backs getting entangled without getting a whistle from the referee for pass interference call. It doesn't happen very often but it becomes frustrating for a gamer if it does.

What's new on madden NFL 08?

The addition of the "weapons system" on Madden PSP appears to be a great new feature. Yes, it is, but this one is pretty much evident on console systems like PlayStation 3 and Xbox wherein you can differentiate specific types of players. With icons attached to each player, you can now differentiate between an average quarterback or a clutch quarterback, a speedy receiver from a power receiver. Planning your game strategy is more exciting because you can now exploit mismatches among opposing teams. With the PSP version, all the players seem to play and act the same way. There is no distinction whether the player is an average one or is a superstar, thus the excitement is not the same as playing on the console version. Another added feature is the Madden NFL 08 superstar mode preview. It replaced the End-2-End of last year. These are the best plays scenarios from last season's NFL and this will give you a chance to play them out yourself. However, there are only 25 of these scenarios and chances are you can finish all of them in a couple of days.

Final Word

NFL the Game, Madden 08 on PSP is fine football game as it was last year. PSP graphics are sharper and crisper with the ability to distinguish players' faces and details on their uniforms. The game still has a long way to go to be classified as a first rate football game. If you have Madden 07, you can definitely get by without the Madden 08. It just doesn't justify the additional cost to be incurred. The game is practically the same with little modifications.
