Madden 64 is a fun game being outdated 2 years. I have never been a real big fan of the Madden football games but this one made me change my mind. This is a suprisingly good game being for the price.

Madden 64 is a decent game. The worst thing about the game is the hitting. It's really bad you can dive at a player and hit him with all your might and he won't fall down. The passing is probaly the best part about the game. It's a lot of fun to see how far you can throw it. I don't think it's worth buying. There are a lot of better football games out there

This title is far out of date by now, much in the same way John Madden himself is. Yet, in it's hey day this game provided hours of illegal dorm room entertainment. The two best features of this game are the fantasy draft and the stat keeping. With the fantasy draft you create your own team from the pool of all NFL players in a draft setting with other players or the computer. The stat keeping is also key for bragging rights amongst friends. The game play itself is entirely unrealistic, you only need two plays at most to man handle the computer. In a 60 minute game you can easy rack up 1500 receiving yards with one guy(I suggest WR No. 19 of the old school Giants). If you want to keep it real with your roots buy this game, otherwise don't waste your time and get a Playstation 2.

This game is just like the Super Nintendo versions of Madden, but this game is really not good.

Graphics: 6/10. For an N64 game, this is not good. They only look a little bit better than the SNES Madden's.

Control: 6/10. I find it somewhat difficult and it just doesn't feel right on an N64 controller.

Sound: 6.5/10. Madden is there, but it is fuzzy and when you hit someone they make a stupid little "tech umpf" as I call it. It's really annoying and it's pointless.

Fun: 6/10. This game fails. Just like the SNES with nothing more than an updated roster; there really is no fun to be had here and you are better off not playing it. I think it's a good thing it was only $3.99. Hell, there are better sports game for lower prices. If you're a fan of a "realistic" football game, try this, but if you want the best football experience on the N64 even if it is exaggerated and not realistic, try NFL Blitz/BFL Blitz 2000.

A lot of people say that this game stinks, but they're wrong. Maybe the graphics aren't all that great but the gameplay is the best ever made. This game has no cheap juke it's more just breaking tackles. It also has year teams. The gameplay of this game is like older football games instead of the modern pansy ones.
