Today EA Sports announced a new brand of Wii exclusive titles. The “All-Play” series of games will take familiar franchises, such as Tiger Woods, Madden, ect., and give them a more casual gaming twist.
What does that mean exactly? Well the gameplay will be simplified and focus on a more party style of gaming. For example, there will be a 5-on-5 mode in All-Play Madden.
5-on-5 football? Are you kidding me? I hate to be one who jumps to conclusions, but come on. I hope that they have some great game designers on this project because if they don’t all I see are bargain bin games. Don’t get me wrong, I want nothing more than to see these games succeed, but to me, this just seems like a half baked idea. Let’s hope I’m wrong.
