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. Conceived as an entirely original football experience on the Wii, the game puts players on the field like never before. Using the console’s unique remote to pass, kick, snap, throw, catch and run, players interact with the game in an entirely new way. Boasting massive gameplay innovations inspired by the motion sensor of the remote, Madden NFL 07 maximizes the power and unique design of the game system. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

    On its own merits, Madden 07 for the Wii is as exciting a development in sports games as I've seen in a long time, and should be experienced by anyone with even a passing interest in a good game of football.

    In many ways, it treads the same ground as previous titles in the series, but the new control method is like a little mini-revolution for sports games.

    Scoring a field goal by flicking the Wii Remote feels genuinely satisfying. [Christmas 2006, p.74]

    If you own a Wii and you are a sports fan, this is one game that utilizes both controllers and shows off why the Wii is so innovative.

    I actually found myself enjoying it a lot more than other Madden games in the past.

    Having been playing the series since its early heydays in the 90s, I can honestly say I haven't had this much fun with a football game in decades.

    The developers should have spent more time fine-tuning the controls. [Jan. 2007, p.60]

It literally took the first offensive & defensive series on the Wii before I felt like a pro - what used to take a five-button combo you can accomplish with the Wii controller very easily. It might frustrate me if I spent the past 10 years learning the ins and outs of Madden, but as a casual player this new system rocks. Some of the moves definately take practice (it's far easier to Power Hit then manually intercept for example), but that's going to happen with any game. It's easy enough to pick up & play, and plenty room to get good. I'd recommend this game to anyone looking for a football game on the Wii.… Expand
