Madden NFL '97Review by: Antonio Pala Graphics: 7/10- The graphics in this game are merely average. They are low res and don't offer much in terms of player detail. The animation is also just average. The players just don't look natural on the field. I've been spoiled by the higher res of the old QB Club and was dissappointed with the resolution here. Sounds: 7/10- The sounds in this game are merely average as well. The digitized sounds and yells of the players are muffled by static and the crowd chants don't sound all that great either. The Maddenisms are there, but sometimes get repetitive. Playability: 8/10- If you've played Madden before this is old hat. Play selection is simple and so is execution. The only complaint I have is that the players move slowly on the field. Overall: 7/10- This game was dissappointing. I fully expected a lot more from EA and believe they can make this game great by fixing a few quirks. I'll stick with QB Club this year.
