    It has the eye-popping graphics of the PS2 version of "Madden 2001," but it uses a poor interface, has modest AI, and doesn't provide enough new features to differentiate it from last year's offering.

    It's an okay, but unfulfilling experience that really could've and should've been much better.

    No difference [in gameplay] from last year's version, except in running. And even that needs more help.

    MN 2002 will wear out its welcome in short order if you have any demands on the game as a serious simulation of the sport. Most will want to move on to the current PS2 version of the game, which represents a year of design improvements that this dated port does not.

    It's better to have not played a game that teases you such as this than to have played it and pulled your hair out in frustration.

    Terrible running AI - guys fall down just touching a D player sometimes. WRs run out of bounds for no reason. QBs always underthrow deep Terrible running AI - guys fall down just touching a D player sometimes. WRs run out of bounds for no reason. QBs always underthrow deep balls so WRs have to run backwards to catch it - it bounces off the back of DBs repeatedly. Terrible AI. Pure suck.… Full Review »
