Don't buy this game! Because first, you cant trade players or you cant sign free angets. 2nd the players look like they dont have helmets!!! 3rd there is no franchise and you cant make the gameplay hard. Every game you win by over 50 points. Your O-Line dosent block because when you wait in the pocket you will always get sacked! There is no person talking during the game! You dont here John Madden. Trust me during the season you will get very very bored! Listen to my advice and I hope this review helped you alot....

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really a good gbc translation, July 13, 2001

This review is from: Madden NFL 2001 (Game Cartridge)

I loved the computer version of madden 2001 but the game boy game just does not cut it. The graphics are moderate and the sound is ok, but the gameplay is just boring. The password season thing is horrible, as you have to remember a 15 letter password that changes each time you play a game just to get into a season.

The computer version had great graphics, gameplay, and moderate sound. The game boy color version has poor gameplay, moderate sound, and moderate if not poor graphics.

The players are a bunch of little square like images with little bumps for helmets. The controls are ok, but still this game could have had so much more depth. EA Sports spent too much time on plays and not enough time on everything else. The phisics in this game are strange, and you cant always tell where the ball is going. The player and teams don't matter much, as you can score and do pretty much everything with any player.

The sound is moderate, but it is not played during the game. The opening screen and other places where the sound is played are also designed well, unlike the actual game. The tune can be a little catchy, and the sound effects arent bad. Still, the sound doesnt add up to much.

The game is not very well built at all. It is very boring to play a whole season, because you cant really save in the middle of a game. The games, even when set to 5 minute quarters, last over an hour. The gameplay is exactly the same each time, with you being either blown out or winning by over 50. It can be really boring to play a 16 game season plus playoffs when each game is the same. The game play is so boring, i couldnt get past the first game.

The password part is also horrible. Why should you have to type up a 15 letter password to enter your game when other games yet you go in for free? It takes forever to write it down, remeber where you put it, and enter it in. I dont see why they cant let you save in the middle in the game. If they did that i would love the game.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Madden NFL 2001 (Game Cartridge)

Love the game! You just get hooked! The graphics are fine, but the gameplay is great. There are only 2 setbacks. No reverse plays, and it takes a long time just for one game. In all 150 plays should keep you satisfied!
