With the Super Bowl upon us, this seems like the perfect time to talk football. I already reviewed Madden this year, and if you want to review it, you'll see that I enjoyed it despite its several glaring flaws. So I decided to review Madden NFL Arcade, which I picked up some time ago when it was on sale for $5 on the PlayStation Network. It's unlikely this game is on anyone's radar right now, but because the NFL is going to be a theme today, I decided I should do my civic duty here and warn you away from this title.
Basically, this was a way for EA to try and capture over-the-top fast and furious football action without any of the slowdown found in the actual Madden sim. The experience is a game that seems confused right from the get-go as you play with smaller teams and with altered rules that just are not as much fun as they should be. Do not confuse this game with the recent Blitz release, though their style has a few things in common
