    A wonderful re-creation of the sport of football that controls well, looks good, and has enough packed in to keep you busy for a while. But most importantly, the game is just superfun.

    Unfortunately, the game shows not only its age, but also the console’s age and its considerable weaknesses.

    Madden NFL 2002 and "Madden NFL 2001" are basically the same games, with new rosters, new modes of play, and a new name.

    It’s too bad there’s no way to work on defense other than getting pummeled by the CPU game after game. [Oct 2001, p.154]

    If you're expecting Madden 2002 on the N64 to compare in any way, shape or form with the PlayStation 2 version, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

    I love this game, I play it non stop. It has great graphics for 64 and all new rosters. Anyone who doesn't like it has a problem.

The franchise mode is the best part of the game. The only problem is i have visited many websites and still have not found a cheat for this game. This game is a great N64 game and obviously cannot compare to the Xbox and PS2 versions, but has pretty good graphics and gameplay for being a 64 bit console. Please [let me know] if you know any cheats.… Expand
