Still the best...

I had the pleasure of attending E3 (friends in low places) and one of the first games I wanted to get my hands on was Madden 2002. As I walked into the main display floor the first thing I saw was the EA booth and there, side-by-side on three plasma screens, was Madden on Playstation 2, X-Box and Gamecube. So, it was easy to compare the three versions of the game on three different platforms. The first thing that jumped out was the attention to detail. The players, the stadiums, the lighting effects, the sounds and the animations were all incredible. Player movements were very smooth in all phases of the game. There was so much detail in the player models that you could identify players by the way they moved. The video game version of Chris Carter actually moved like the real one. In terms of control and gameplay, I walked right up to the Gamecube version of the game and started completing passes almost immediately. It's very easy to navigate, but it also has enough play options to keep you inside your house for months. You have to get this game!

The Best Football Game Ever Created!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a really great football game. It has it all from stats from every player in the NFL to celebrating after a one handed diving touchdown pass form 90 yards out. If you like football games and your a fan of Madden style football then this is a game you sholdent be without trust me. (this is from my expereance with the game no one paid me to write this)

Another Madden game without innovation

If you like this game then pick up Madden '98. It's the same game. Decent running game and pass rushing, but everything else falls flat. Stunning graphics, but they don't save this stale game. EA has gotten complacent with mediocrity over the years, which is why games such as the 2k series have taken the throne for sports games. Do yourself a favor and avoid EA's lackluster sports lineup, especially this one.

Best of all three

I'd expect the developers of this game to know the most about it. EA Canada, the division of Electronic Arts that has developed this game for GCN, PS2, and XBox, has said themselves that the GCN version is the best of the 3. They said that the textures, the lighting, the animation, the framerate, is the best. The modes of play are the exact same, and since the GCN verison is the last to come out, it will have the most recent team changes. The only downside to the GCN version is that the franchise stats only save for one year, rather than five. Not a big deal. If you are loking for a great football game, get Madden 2002. I know I am, along with NFL 2k3 and NFL Blitz next year.

Wow....

Even though i haven't played it yet, i know it's gonna kick major butt like all the other Madden games. Animated coaches on the sideline, weather conditions affect the players uniforms makes this game the most realistic football in well....EVER. Pick-up this gam

the game is incredible. having played the cube version and PS2, id say the cube version is slightly better; slightly more realisitc graphics, a little better game play. the only downfall of madden is that it takes up an entire memory card. since franchising is such a huge part of the game, you really should have 2 memory cards; one for madden, and one for the rest of your games. hope this is helpful. happy holidays!

Awesome!

This is one of 3 Gamecube games I intially purchased, the others being Star Wars and All-Star Baseball. This game and Star Wars are amazing. Madden's graphics are almost like the real thing. The game is easy to use, there are all the teams and players, the players even look like themselves. Gameplay is fun, especially 2 player. The soundtrack is really good with great and timely commentary by Madden and Summerall (I think). You have to like Madden though since he talks a lot. The stadiums are like the real thing, cheerleaders on the side, etc.... Highly recommend.

You can't compare this to...

You can't compare this to ANY other football game made, it is the only game where you can customize the A.I if you don't like the way it plays offense/defense. You can actually customize it down to the very last cornerback as to whether he plays tight coverage or loose. This is BETTER then the 2k series because of the tackle graphics, gameplay, and of course being able to challenge a play! If you bought this game or are deciding whether to, you will get your money's worth. Believe me, I've purchased a total of 5 (Qb Club 98, Blitz 99 and 00, nfl2k1 and 2k2) football games, and this by far is the best.
