It's a good game. Not so great graphics but a lot of fun. That's pretty much all you can expect on a GBA, though. It has all the teams and is the best portable football game on the market. It even has a create a player mode where you can put the player through a training camp. Overall, I would give it a 4 out of five, only because of it's poor graphics. Buy it ****

OK - it ain't brilliant but it's the best GameBoy football game out there. You better have specs and a magnifying glass handy because to choose plays, you have to read the settings - it's nasty to see and requires real patience. But once you get the hang of it, the game moves along with solid graphics and pretty realistic game play. Penalties, sacks, dancin' in the end zone, it's all here. But the darned thing brings out the shortcoming of the Advance system: it's too hard to see and you pray for direct sunlight, no glare and no distractions.

I have bought every single Madden game dating back to Madden 2001 for the N64. Now I know it isn't fair to compare GBA games to high-powered systems like the Xbox. So I won't. I bought this game thinking I was going to get a pretty good football game for my GBA. Well, after experiencing what this game has to offer, I may never buy another Madden game for the GBA. The sound is crisp but only plays one song, Andrew W.K. Party Hard. The controls are decent, the graphics are a real letdown compared to what EA did with the NHL 2002 for the GBA, and the replayability is only there if you wish to play as another team, because the schedule is the same when you start a new season. The playoff mode will provide some replayability, but like the season mode, after a while, you just won't want to play it again. The real big problem I have about this game is that you cannot run worth beans and most passing plays are decent. I found a passing play that worked for me 96% of the time, and everytime it was completed, my receiver would run in the length of the field for a touchdown. So the A.I. is a REAL drawback to this game. Plus you can rack up the score real easily in this game. It would be nice if the schedule could change after each season. NHL 2002 is a much bigger game, as far as to develop, than Madden was. You would think that they would be able to easily squeeze in a chip that would change the schedules!

Overall: Madden 2003 for the GBA is the best footbal game out there for the GBA system. But the system's graphics, A.I., and consistant schedule make the game a bad experience compared to what EA has done with the NHL franchise for the GBA. Hopefully they can have better graphics, better A.I., better running, passing and defense abilities, more modes of play, and a chip that can change the schedule after you play a season. Oh yeah, did I mention that the creat-a-player was the worst?

I was really looking forward to play this game, but I am really disappointed now. First, I personally do not like Madden-style up and down field mode. Nonetheless, I'm glad I only paid $ for this game.
PS I would really want to see Tecmo bring back Tecmo Super Bowl (SNES Version) to Gameboy Advance. Tecmo Super Bowl is the best football game ever!

Since I don't play sport games on other systems I thought since I love football(Go Houston Texans) I purchased Madden 2003 for GBA. I had a blast playing. There ARE TONS OF PLAYS Its about 85% real. You can either play exhibition game or season or playoffs. This is my first Madden game let alone football gaame. When you do exhibition game you can choose where to play and the wheater (snow,fair,rain,windy) I hope you liked this review.

I don't play them so I can't really review this game for an adult, but the kids love it.

May I start off by saying that this is a very good rendetion of the classic Sega Genesis games of yester-year. The graphics and sound are alike and the same, which is not a bad thing. All in all this is a very fun game to play but only for the casual gamer on the go. I don't recomend this game to hardcore gamers who enjoy depth to their game but to the casual on the go gamer. The new version of Madden comes this year with over 150 plays to choose from and many different features taken from the older games. For instance, you can create your own player and instead of using a point system to build his stats, you must take your newly created player and train him in around five different tests to find out his skill level. Do good and ur traded to that team, do bad and well, lets just say you should start over and try again. Madden 2003 is a very good portable tried and true game of football for the casual on the go gamer and for someone who just wants to waist an hour or two on the plane. Overall I rate this game a four out of five stars mainly because it is and "rerelease" of the Sega Genesis madden of yester-year. Buy this game for the fun factor not the depth of it.

I hate this game and if your a madden freak you might get it for
colletion but not for fun.it:boring,no fun at all.but all in all
the best thing is the create-a-player thats it.If you know madden
,this madden game looks like madden 1996 on SNES.i am going to tell you the pro's and con's for you can understand.
PRO'S:Create-a-player is great but not that all great
Got all teams even all madden
but i got to give them credict..they try to give them a cool inzone dane
its got link play action..2p action
CON'S:game play sucks like hell...thats right i said hell
i told you about the grahics it look like 1996 madden
gets boring real quick i..mean quick

well thats all about this stupid game.Im telling the truth i got
this game by mistake..i well speak the truth.

this game was awsome, you can make your own team and play a season, the graphics are killer. If you could get one game, this is it. It will keep you ocupied for a long time. If your reading this, and you can't decide to get it, well get it because it rocks. The game lasts along time also, it allows hours of fun and you can play a whole season with the playoffs.
