In order to celebrate 15 years of football glory, EA has blessed PlayStation gamers with Madden NFL 2005 Collector's Edition. Not only is Madden 2005 the best Madden yet, the collector's edition features an amazingly generous serving of special features, all for only $10 more than the stand-alone version of Madden NFL 2005.So what do you get with the Collector's Edition for your $10 extra bucks? Well, the biggest addition is three complete previous versions of Madden from yester-year. Personally, I can't wait to get my hand on that same version of Madden that helped me get a C in my college science class back in '94. Other additions include a thousand question 1 or 2 player Madden trivia game, exclusive making of and nostalgia videos, and the chance to relive some of Madden's greatest moments, in a sort of new Madden challenge. Of course, there is more, but I should leave something for the fanboys to discover.
The big question is, how does it play? Well the major differences between Madden NFL 2005 and Madden 2004 are the new Hit Stick system, Player Attitudes, and the StoryLine aspect of the franchise mode. The Hit Stick makes big tackles easier, pure and simple. The StoryLine addition lets you read about yourself in the paper, and the story that surrounds your team affects how they play. Finally, the new player attitude feature is perhaps the biggest change. Styled after MVP Baseball, you must keep players happy in order for them to play well. I think attitude works for baseball, which is a more individual sport, but with football, I felt like I was babysitting, more than coaching.
Bottom line, Madden is still the top-dawg. This version shines even brighter than last year's, and the additional content of the Collector's Edition make this a must have title for any PS2 sports fan.
