The official OS Madden review was really bad. It didn't have anything of substance and very few critical comments. Almost seemed like they cut and pasted the back of the box comments into the review or let EA write it themselves. I know OS is impartial and I know some of the mods there don't like the review either. They did a second review that was more balanced. The original Madden reviewer is a new writer and I don't think he really knows what he is doing. This is not an attack on the 9/10 score. It's just that the review offered almost nothing in depth. I expect that from a crappy video game site just covering the annual Madden release, not OS who should be doing the best sports reviews on the planet.

The OS NCAA review was much better. Praise, criticism and in depth comments.
