ZTGD | Madden NFL 13 (Vita) Review

Ken McKown writes: When EA announced that Madden was coming to the Vita this year, I was pretty excited. Being able to take my franchise on the go with me was definitely something I was looking forward to. Cross save between PS3 and, of course, visuals powered by the incredible handheld were high on my list of things I was excited about. The end result though is a little more than disappointing. You can tell from the minute you power up the game that this was not given ample development time. This is basically last year’s game with new commentary and plenty technical issues. Much like my Raiders’ chances at the playoffs, Madden for the Vita comes up just a little short. 6.0/10

Is it my imagination or EA is making games with decreasing quality?. Not only in the PC platform (for example Battlefield 3) but now in consoles too. I've never been a fan of Madden but I don't think that game is that bad. Perhaps they started with the wrong foot this time.

This could actually be Sony fault you know. They've been struggling to sell Vitas (it's not doomed and it doesn't need saving) so Sony may well have been strict on the release date. That is only a possibility though.

I think that they probably wanted it ready for when it released on consoles so they rushed the developers. It's a fun game and by far the best portable football game I've ever played, but it's a bit unpolished.
