You have fairly extensive control over graphic and video elements for the game Madden NFL 08 even supports widescreen displays natively, so you can use the full expanse of a 17-inch display on a MacBook Pro or a 20-inch iMac screen. The visual realism of the game is fantastic-stadium lights glimmer off helmets, and in the cold weather, you’ll see the misty breath of players on the field (water will even bead up on the “camera lens” if it’s raining). You have an extensive playbook of built-in plays to call from (you also have options there if you want to build your own playbook of favorites), and once you’re on the field playing either offense or defense, you’ll be able to control key players during each play to try to make a difference.

Suffice it to say the reviewer was playing on Rookie mode. So as not to offend the sensibilities of Baltimore readers, we’ve left off the final score of this Pats-Ravens battle.
