The Madden Dynasty Continues Its Football Excellence

by LessThanNick1 , Sep 06 '01
Pros: awesome graphics, ultra-realistic gameplay, tons of modes
Cons: the Patriots still suck
I’m a big fan of sports games. If made correctly, they never become tiresome. They’re not linear like most other games. There’s no real way to “beat” them. You can play a good sports game almost forever. I played NHL 94’ for the SNES for about a year...

A true improvement over last year's.

by LaughingTarget Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 04 '01
Pros: Better graphics, better gameplay, better sound, more options.
Cons: Commentary still annoying, AI still needs a little tweaking.
For those who remember, I was one of the few people to simply just slam Madden 2001 like there was no tomorrow. For good reason, too. The game had the most hideous AI, gameplay, and options for something that had so much potential. Well, EA turned...

Madden NFL 2002 for the PS2: Pretty Close To As Good As It Can Get

by roheblius Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Dec 24 '01
Pros: Defensive A.I. is wicked, graphics are much improved
Cons: Football players don't usually run into their blocker's backside
I've had this game for some time now. Originally I wanted to get a review out right from the start. However, I decided that I wanted to play this game enough to submit a formidable review. By reviewing it off of only a few games played, I wouldn't...

That Guy Got Hit So Hard He's Lucky His Head's Still Attached to His Body!

by sportsweek , Sep 04 '01
Pros: The Best Video Football Game EVER!
Cons: I can't run on All-Madden.
Like a right of passage at the end of each summer I anxiously await the latest version of Madden Football from EASports. For me this started probably 15 years ago when Tecmo Bowl for Nintendo was the latest and greatest. I remember the first "Madden"...

Scoring achievement

by scigamer , Aug 31 '01
Pros: Enhanced Graphics, improved animations, Smarter AI, responsive controls, replay system, better tackling
Cons: awkward animations, cheating AI, dry and repeative commentary, computer blocks too well, memory demands
Can you hear the roar of the crowd as sports fans anticipate the wait of football season as it quickly approaches in the upcoming week. What better way to start the season off with an upgrade for one of the best selling sports games from EA sports,...

Can You Improve On The Best? Hell Yes!

by tanta07 , Oct 21 '01
Pros: Excellent Graphics And Gameplay
Cons: John Madden's Commentary

There’s not a lot of ways that EA Sports could really improve upon the Madden franchise that has been their bread and butter for years and years now. Madden 2001, the first definitive football title for the virginal Playstation 2, seemed to hit...

Pros: The battle of the consoles; great graphics; interesting and addictive game
Cons: addictive

Madden NFL 2002 (PS2)

by mmccree , Dec 27 '01
Pros: great graphics, fun to play, many different and unique modes of play
Cons: memory needed to store data
Usually I do not care to play sports games that much. I might play one game once every two weeks on the average. However once I started playing Madden NFL 2002 on the PS2, I could not stop. This is one game that I believe I will not get tired of...

F-U-N. IT'S IN THIS GAME.

by m.s.heart , Sep 06 '01
Pros: Beautiful graphics, realistic gameplay and animations, new music, adjustable AI, lots of options
Cons: Commentary is repetitive and sometimes stupid
I remember back in the early 90's when EA Sports brought us Madden football. It was groundbreaking 3-D football with tiny little team characters and side-splitting (or annoying...depending on your demeanor) sound-bytes from John Madden himself. It was...

Time for John Madden to throw in the towel...

by onetuffcowboy , Dec 17 '01
Pros: Franchise mode
Cons: awkward player models, slow gameplay, horrid play call screens, just a bad football game
Madden NFL 2001 was one of the most critically acclaimed games that launched with the PS2. However, unlike many, I was not impressed. In my opinion Madden 2001 was too slow, too hard to control, and had too many AI issues to be enjoyable. However,...

Don't hate it, just don't love it.

by chillu , Oct 16 '01
Pros: Best NFL game to date for the PS2
Cons: Graphically inferior to NCAA 2002, and IS NCAA 2002 with NFL uniforms.
Ok, I have read countless reviews about how great Madden 2002 is for the PS2. Let me preface my review buy first stating my gaming history. I have played the Madden series every year since 1992, and I currently own 2001 for the PS2 and NCAA 2002 for the...

"Just a minute honey...I am almost done with a season"

by daperlman , Nov 29 '01
Pros: Better Secondary and Linebackers, Crisper Graphics, Challenges
Cons: Challenges could use tweaking, Not too many new plays, No 85 Bears team
Why Maddens is consistently #1 (synopsis of past versions)
In about the year 1991, the first truly great Maddens came out. Millions of gamers discarded their copies of Tecmo bowl, no longer could defenses literally pick the offenses' plays...

Madden 2002 the only video game to own

by aker30 , Oct 03 '01
Pros: The best Football video game ever, Daunte is on the box, instant replay challenge
Cons: None, maybe too realistic because the Vikes defense really sucks.
I need to preface this review, I love sports videogames for the simple fact it will never be exactly the same game ever! Therefore, I own 3 PS2 games. Madden 2002, Tiger Woods 2001, and NHL 2001.

Leader of the Pack Again

by oddity , Feb 26 '02
Pros: Graphics. Create-a-player and create-a-team features. Easy game control
Cons: The new kicking meter is too sensitive. Redundant announcing.
Picking up where 2001 left off the newest edition of the Madden series of football games for PlayStation (now PS2) leads the pack again. Improving on the already impressive graphics of 2001, 2002 incorporates more faces and expressions on the players and...

A+ Effort from EA Sports, Madden 2002

by mrblonde007 , Aug 31 '01
Pros: Just what you would expect out of the Madden series
Cons: There really isn't any. Maybe having better situational comments would improve things
Madden NFL 2002 is quite simply, a must have for any self respecting arm-chair football hero. The awesome graphics, the fluid gameplay, and fact that your THIS close to controlling your favorite players from the sidelines of your favorite stadium makes...

Pros: This is Madden what else can I say?
Cons: The commentary is still annoying.
Looking back on every console I have bought, well besides the NES and Dreamcast, there has been one constant, an EA sports title. SNES was Madden, Genesis was NHL, Playstation was Madden, N64 was Madden, PS2 there was Madden. These EA sports titles...

Still the Gridiron King!

by scadams4 , Oct 16 '01
Pros: Improved game engine, Sweet graphics, Options galore, Franchise Mode, Improved pass defense, Coach's challenge
Cons: Computer AI cheats, Not enough commentary variety, Sluggish control at times
When you first compare Madden 2002 with Madden 2001, some of the differences are slight. The graphics are a little bit better. The players no longer have zombie eyes on close up. One handed catches still happen, just not every other play like 2001....

Pros: This version of Madden is much better than the previous version.
Cons: The way the players hold and catch the ball looks weird.
If this isn't the best football game, I don't know what game is. From exhibition to franchise mode this game has it all. John Madden really knows what he is doing when he makes these games. I'm waiting for when he finally is available to be a coach or a...
