ESPN FOOTBALL
You have to own Madden. But Sega's football game is hard to refuse. Critics love both, even if the lion's share of sales go to Madden. This year ESPN Football closes in on Madden by including the first fully realized first-person mode in a sports game, allowing gamers the option of seeing and controlling the action through the eyes of a player on the field.
