For the first time ever, step up as the lead blocker to create a hole, and then take control of the tailback and smash through, overpower, or slash away from would-be tacklers as you fight for every yard. Innovative rushing controls give you a game-breaking ground attack featuring all-new jukes, cutbacks, and the distinct running styles of your favorite backs. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

    A lot like the Xbox 360 version of the same name, with some minor Sixaxis functionality added in.

    If you're moving from the PS2 to the PS3, you'll most likely be impressed by the title, but if you happen to own the 360 version, there's not really anything included here that would make you want to purchase this title again.
  3. Next Level Gaming
    82
    The Lead Blocking adds an all new dimension to the game, the Superstar mode lets you live the life of a NFL player, and the countless number of options and features add up to hours upon hours of enjoyment.
  4. TotalPlayStation

    If you have the 360 version of the game already, then you probably aren't going to be going ga-ga over the SIXAXIS stuff, and the PlayStation Network, for being free and what it is, still isn't enough to hang with Xbox Live.

    As was the Xbox 360 version, the PS3 version of Madden NFL 07 is a very good football game that doesn't quite live up to the full potential of the latest console hardware. And while the game looks and plays quite good on the PS3, the added Sixaxis control support isn't really that impressive.
  6. PSX Extreme
    73
    It's completely average. As a next-generation title, its visuals leave a lot to be desired. And when you're not peeved at how boring it looks, you'll be peeved at how dull it sounds.

    This mess somehow gets worse with every play...It's like buying a Ferrari only for it to fall to pieces as you drive out of the dealership. [May 2007, p.118]

    Madden NFL 07 is the best sports game that came out back in 2006, in my opinion.

    Terrible graphics, bad gameplay, and an atrocious framerate. But besides all of that, the presentation is the best part of this game for a reason.

    The game was almost flawless on the last gen version of the game, but it was absolutely butchered on next-gen. The graphics are the only thingThe game was almost flawless on the last gen version of the game, but it was absolutely butchered on next-gen. The graphics are the only thing improved from the transition. The franchise mode went down a peg, the on-field action is worse, it's just not good. I know this is 2015 but Madden 07 on the PS2 remains my favorite game of all time. The game was brought down a ton on the next gen. It just didn't do the last-gen justice.… Expand
