John Madden is back and, again, he's brought the entire NFL with him into your Nintendo 64 with Madden NFL 2001. The game includes the updated rosters you'd expect, but new this se ason is the addition of coaches on the sidelines, who often "encourage" the players and shout "helpful advice" out to the referees. Finer details for this version include wristbands, visors, facemasks, and turf tape--specific to what each player favors in the real NFL. Collisions now factor the weight and height of players, making for more realistic hits. EA has even gone to the trouble of replicating some of the touchdown-celebration dances and allows you to control even those moves. The Nintendo version of the game includes the new two-minute drill, which allows up to 10 players to compete against each other via quick challenges that are scored for points. By completing certain tasks, players can collect and trade Madden in-game cards that will unlock hidden players, stadiums, and power-ups. Show more
