NCAA 07 Xbox 360

By Alyson Brodsy and Chris Freiberg · Thursday, July 27,2006 2:07 p.m.

NCAA 07 on the Xbox 360 is the hot drunk girl you pick up tailgating outside Memorial Stadium. Yeah she's fun for a night, maybe two, but what kind of future are you two really going to have? Where's the depth? The personality? This game is missing a lot of features present in the current gen version, like Race for the Heisman and Campus Challenge that while not necessary for a college game, at least give you more bang for your buck. There are three mini games available in this version (bowling is especially addictive), but you'll probably get tired of them after you get the achievement points from beating them. At least the action on the field doesn't disappoint with tight AI that will smoke you if you don't know your playbook.
