Looking like a cross between John Madden and Joe Montana, Mike Ditka's is a fairly enjoyable American football game which looks and sounds very slick but is ultimately let down by its lack of depth and rather unresponsive controls.

It's a simple game to get into, but at the end of the day you'd be better off buying the more sophisticated John Madden's - it might be harder to get to grips with, but you'll be playing it for months longer than this.
