Today is the last day of the NFL regular season as my beloved Green Bay Packers battle the Detroit Lions in "The Motor City". Every Sunday has been exciting to say the least for Packers fans. As a Super Fan, one would like to experience the NFL on the go. Luckily, Madden NFL 12 does the job well.
Featuring a well tuned, played experience, the mobile edition of the classic pigskin game is awesome. Graphics are very nice, with good looking player models and animation. The touch controls work very well, as a virtual joystiq controls your football avatar as simple touches and swipes complete passes, kicks and tackles. Commentary can be heard throughout the game, however just like it's big brother console edition, it gets repetitive very quickly.
As good as it sounds, there a few things missing. No multiplayer and franchise mode whatsoever. *sniff* They are missed. If implemented, we would have had a pretty impressive package. However, the $4.99 price tag helps the soothing of field play burns. That is the killer deciding factor for mobile gaming. It's very inexpensive, cheaper than a subsandwich or hamburger. Realistically, I'm not expecting the full $59.99 HD console experience on my mobile. What there is, makes for a fun and exciting time!
Update: The Packers beat the Lions 45 to 41. Hooray!
