USA Today: Madden for Xbox 360 better than PS3

The nation's largest newspaper in circulation says Madden NFL 08 is far superior on Xbox 360 than on the PS3.

"On the surface, the releases on 360 and PlayStation 3 look identical," writes Brett Molina of USA Today. "However, when you stack them head-to-head, it's clear which is better. Madden on 360 is fast and fluid, thanks to a sharp jump in frame rate that allows the game to move twice as fast.

"PS3 owners, unfortunately, are greeted with a Madden that is sluggish in comparison. Action stutters far too often, particularly on injuries, penalties and turnovers. There's also a half-second delay between pressing the hike button and receiving the ball in your hands. Even close-ups between play look dull when lined up against the 360's sleeker cut scenes," he adds.

The issue largely centers on Xbox 360's much smoother frame rate. The 360 is said to run at a constant 60 frames per second, compared to just 30 frames per second on the PS3.

In June it was reported that while the PS3's processing power is superior to Xbox 360s, developers have a more difficult time making games on Sony's box as opposed to Microsoft's.

I think if you're not a fan of the NFL or games based around it, keep your comment to yourself. I hate people who moan just for the sake of it. on the other side of the coin. I was very interested in this review. was days away from buying a PS3 for the maddan game. gameplay is everything, so i guess sony looses out this time... looks like i'm gonna be moving over to the Xbox, same really - i like the feel of the PS controls
