Macintosh

Madden NFL 2000

Commentary gripes aside, I dig this game. It is the first major sports title on the Mac in way too long and in terms of pure gameplay, it is a big winner.

If acceptance of Madden 2000 means more sports games for the Mac, then we should welcome this game with open arms. On the other hand, if other sports games are this annoying, maybe we don't want them. Ultimately, the choice is yours. I really love football, but I also really love games you just boot up and play without having to jump through hoops. Madden 2000 is impressive in many ways -- almost as many ways as it is cumbersome. The thrill of football is missing here. Some excitement made it in, but the thrill isn't there.

No sports gamer needs to be convinced to purchase Madden for his or her Macintosh. Neither will they be disappointed with what they find once the game is on their Mac. Madden is the zenith of its genre, and the Mac version is no exception. One can only hope that this game is successful enough this year and in the future to convince EA Sports to send more sports games our way!

Madden 2000 est en fait beaucoup plus tourné vers la simulation que vers l'arcade, le jeu est vraiment fait pour les fans de football américain qui eux passeront de superbes moments dans des décors paraissant vraiment réels et des joueurs animés avec une superbe réalité dans les mouvements.
