    A great first entry for the series on the Xbox 360, with great dynamic gameplay and a robust Dynasty mode. Far and away the best basketball game EA has released for a next-gen system.

    Madness 07 is a great first entry on the 360, but there is plenty of room for improvement. In the end, Madness is a fun, good basketball game worth a look.
  3. Detroit Free Press

    From a strong matchmaking system to a deep dynasty mode that largely mirrors EA's NCAA football game, March Madness does a good job bringing the energy of college hoops home.

    By dodging most of its NBA Live pitfalls, the company created a solid basketball game that does tremendous things for the sports genre, yet still fails to best the competition.

    Beneath numerous flaws there's a decent basketball game in March Madness 07, but you've got to dig too deep to find it.

    Easily the best NCAA basketball option out there. It does so much right that even the frustrating scoring issues can’t really kill the experience.
  7. Game Revolution
    25
    The selection of modes is weak. In the 360 game, you can only play through the dynasty mode or a single game or tournament. There is no single-season option or practice options. No mini-games either.

    Choppy framerate. Unrealistic play. Better graphics in comparision to Collge Hoops 2K7 but the trade off is awkward gameplay. Good Choppy framerate. Unrealistic play. Better graphics in comparision to Collge Hoops 2K7 but the trade off is awkward gameplay. Good representation of college atmosphere that sets it apart from NBA Live. If your priority is great graphics then March Madness should be your choice. If your looking for fun, College Hoops is the right way to go this year.… Expand
