20 years ago, the Madden NFL game entered the arena, bringing authentic football action and an in-depth 'by the playbook' approach to the game. In 2008, the series celebrates its 20th anniversary with Madden NFL 09: two decades of innovation bring a whole new level of wholly enjoyable and fulfilling gameplay. The legend is back with a bang. Everyone can compete with EA Sports' All-Play system. All-Play helps enhance your skills in areas like tackling, evading, passing and kicking without worrying about the play clock. Whether you're new to the game, or something of a Gridiron veteran, you will enjoy a challenging experience. rest assured that this version of Madden NFL 09 makes full use of the Wii Remote. Party Mode enables friends and family to join in 22 adrenaline-pumping minigames including Punt Return and 40 Yard Dash, and there's a new 5-on-5 mode in which neighbourhood-style tackle football comes to life on a smaller playing field for extra over-the-top fun. Perhaps the neatest trick in the Wii version of Madden NFL 09 is the ability to create your own passing plays in real time. Simply select a receiver, then point to a spot on screen to show your players where to run. Brilliant! All this, and you can go play online too.
