Overall, Madden '97 rates a 90 out of 100 -- a definite recommendation for anybody who even thinks a computer football game might be fun. The graphics, audio and realism are all top notch, and EA has thrown in enough extra touches and customer-friendly considerations to warrant a look. This game should please die-hards and newcomers alike and is extremely easy to learn, but difficult to master -- my kind of game!

Madden NFL 97 ist mit Sicherheit die realistischste und zugleich spielbarste Simulation des typisch amerikanischen Sports. Dennoch läßt sich am PC die Spannung und die Atmospähre dieses Spiels nicht annährend so gut vermitteln wie in einem Live-Spiel oder einer TV-Übertragung. Vor allem außerhalb der USA dürfte es EA Sports daher schwer haben, Freunde für Madden NFL 97 zu finden.

Kann eine Football-Simulation auch einem Nicht-Amerikaner Spaß machen? Sie kann. Auch wenn Sie nicht ein Jahr bei einem amerikanischen Football-Coach zur Untermiete gewohnt haben, Football aber aufgeschlossen gegenüberstehen, ist Madden NFL 97 etwas für Sie.

After 10 years of being the best football game in the 16-bit console arena, Madden's fast, helmet-crunching action has finally made it to the PC. Despite several flaws, it feels like football. The gameplay is addictive and the motion-captured graphics are great.

Although Madden NFL 97's logic flaws substantially impact play against the computer, the modem play option partially compensates for these deficiencies. In its defense, though, it's a substantially better game in two-player mode, and is simply a blast when you play against another person. Great graphics, good sound, and loads of options do make it entertaining. Madden NFL 97 is a fun football game, but doesn't make the top of the list as a football simulator.
