    Madden is usually associated with franchise mode and multiplayer. Well, this game isn't. All this game contains is single player action. The modes the game does offer are very good and enjoyable to play. The soundtrack is very good and enjoyable. Without key features, this game isn't up to par with other Madden NFL titles.

    It's a decent football offering for the 3DS. It kind of sucks that there is not a multiplayer or online option. As well, the AI is not that difficult to defeat even on the most difficult setting., if you are just looking to kill some time and you are a madden fan, it is fun. I would pick it up as a used game though.

    The game is ok however the game was just too simple and didn't have many features (multiplayer and franchise mode) that the Madden games are known for.

    As a football fan the game is great the game play is fine. The bottom screen helps a ton choosing what character you wanna pick at the right moment.

    It is what you can expect in these types of games. It's decent but I'm sure there are much better options out there.

    More tech demo than anything else. [May 2011, p.65]

    Decent gameplay let down by a lack of any multiplayer or other modes whatsoever.

    Madden's first outing on the 3DS is disappointing, not for its gameplay but for its lack of multiplayer and rushed 3D graphics. Sadly, it feels incomplete and there's little reason for a purchase, especially with Madden 12 just a few short months away.
