John Madden Football for Genesis
Review #4282
John Madden Football
Gameplay
They got it right on their first try. Plays fast and well. You have to really hit or be hit to be taken down. Forgiving hit detection.
Screen zooms in when you're passing to highlight three different receivers. This works well and then you control the receiver on the other end which allows you to catch the ball over any defenders. It takes some practice to make the connection but it works well enough. It's a better system than any other from behind football game.
Level Design
No exhibition. Season, Playoff, and Sudden Death modes.
No options for difficulty or anything else.
Maybe it's a glitch but the selection screen moves so fast that it's impossible to make a selection.
Theme
No NFL or NFLPA.
Not sure how many teams due to the insanely fast selection screen.
Art Style
Pixelated but sprites animate well.
Ugly colors. Lots of burnt orange and yellow.
Audio
Annoying static for crowd noise. Tackle sounds are exaggerated and unappealing.
Voice samples are ok.
Dorky fanfare that plays after scoring.
