John Madden Football -- Hudson Soft/Electronic Arts

Pick your favorite team ever and prepare to go all out in John Madden Football for the Turbo Duo CD. Choose your plays, your team, or even play as your own dream team! Full-motion video clips put the finishing touches on this high-action sports title.

WOW! This game was not at all what I had expected. It surpassed every one of my hopes and expectations. The full-motion video was fast and clear, and the game play near perfect. There wasn't anything that I would change. One thing is certain, do not pass judgment on this game until you have played it. The printed pictures of it give a skewed perception of how the game actually looks and plays. Two thumbs up for TTI. More games like this could bring any system's sales into the stratosphere.

This is a great sports game. I personally dislike this kind of game but this one was easy to get used to. The full-motion video is excellent and there is plenty of it. Soundwise this game had realistic cheers and lots of voice in it. The game handled pretty well and the controls aren't too complicated. It'll last awhile whether you are playing the computer, with a friend, or against the friend.

R.I.P.
Definitely the best Madden to date. The graphics absolutely crush the Sega version. Play control was good and the entertainment value on this title is really up there. Check it out.

Madden Football is without a doubt among the best Duo games I have played. The gameplay is great, and the full-motion video is so crisp it simply can't be missed. Awesome.
