IGN Madden 10 review

[jdr4693]

In the demo the run blocking is awful and when playing on All pro offensive linemen purposely miss blocks in key situations (3rd and 1) to help the computer beat you. It REALLY sucks.

The score of 7.5 for sound is what hurts it... that dropped it below a 9.

Very fair, very accurate review. I don't look at scores much (different sites use different scales, so hard numbers are only useful when comparing games across the same site), but 8.9 seems ballpark-reasonable, maybe a tad high (keep in mind, I think most '09 and '08 reviews were way too high).

I think most will agree that Madden 10 is better than madden 05 (I don't want to start a 2k vs. madden war).

I guess you are saying that because Madden 05 during it's time was rated higher? If Madden 05 was rated today, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't get as high of a score.

8.9 I will wait untill you all get your say, but I played the retail version today at Gamestop and I really enjoyed it. I only played 1 quarter but, the gameplay was smooth and the game looked awesome.

I think they kill the game because of the commentary more then anything. I know I will be turning it off

lol I can see that all that you guys look at are numbers...

If any past maddens were rated now, they would be rated less than what they were during their time. Numbers reflect the reviewer's opinion of the quality of the game period, not the reviewer's opinion of the quality of the game compared to it's predecessor.
