2.0 out of 5 stars Not woth the money, November 25, 2004

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Madden NFL 2005 (Video Game)

Although the Madden games are great for the other consoles, the GameBoy Advance version is terrible. I realize that I can't expect as much from the GameBoy version as I do the other versions, but this was a great disappointment.

First, the graphics are horrible. I've played Zelda and the Mario Bros games, which show the potential that the GameBoy Advance has, but this game falls far short. Its so bad, that I can barely tell what is going on while I play.

Second, the gameplay is extremely choppy. When I am running the ball, it seems as though I skip over sections of the field at times. It is also very difficult to tell where the ball is when all the players get jumbled together making it difficult on defense to tackle the person with the ball.

Overall, I think that the GameBoy Advance screen is to small to support a game like this. The graphics are bad, making it hard to tell what is going on and therefore difficult to play. Spend your money on the classics like Zelda, Metroid, and Mario Bros. Those games seem to work better with this smaller console.

I love this game. I have never played a more fun game. The graphics may not be great but still a fun game.

The game is fun but the graphics are lame compared to the nintendo ds. It is also priced high for its bad graphics
