Madden Football 2010

Since the advent of video games, the industry has come on leaps and bounds from the pioneering days of ping-pong and telly-tennis. I can remember the big white "paddles" and the incessant beeping as the square white "ball" bounced around a black & white television screen just like a real ping-pong ball wouldn't bounce around a black & white television screen. I also remember many a television tube damaged with a permanent etching of the play field, oh the good old days, NOT!

One game franchise, Madden, has experienced huge success in the video gaming industry. Every year the company brings out a new and improved version of rosters, in fact, part of the appeal of the game is the anticipation of the latest release.

The game has come a long way since its conception when roster's was an uninspiring two dimensional game with a bird's eye view from above. Today's game is as close as you can get to taking part in a live football game.

The latest in the line up is Madden 2010 for the Nintendo Wii and fans will not be disappointed in the unique features of this version. Just pressing buttons to make moves is now a thing of the past because with the Wii's amazing hand controller the player can make realistic player moves like throwing and catching the ball. Every move you make is mimicked by your screen player.

A clever feature of the Madden 2010 is the IQ function. On switch on the game will put you to the test but don't worry you will not have join a gym or employ a personal trainer. The system will gauge your level of play in various aspects of the game and from this you will be given a Madden IQ score. As a beginner your IQ may be low but as you improve so will your score.

The Madden 2010 IQ feature is designed in such a way that players, no matter how good or bad they are, will be equal in the eyes of the machine so that each player is given an equal chance based in his or her Madden IQ. If, for example, you are a beginner but your pal is a pro, the system will balance you both out to have matching skills so you, as the beginner, will not be "white washed" straight away. This revolutionary feature can be disabled.

You may have been tempted to give this years offering a miss but I strongly recommend that you don't, you will not be disappointed with the astonishing graphics and game play features of the Madden 2010.
