Hours of fun with this one October 4, 2008
I have had this game now for about a couple of weeks, and now, after really getting into all of what it has to offer, feel I can give a good review of it. Before I start, let me say that I bought this one after only playing the EA hockey games, and was a bit skeptical about buying it, but I have to say that I am now extremely glad I did. Mind ya, there are a few things I would fix with it, but I can say that all the good this one has to offer outweights the bad.
GRAPHICS: Here is where 2K sports drops the ball. This game has PS1 graphics at best. EA's is MUCH better, but I will take these graphics when it comes to the gameplay this game offers.
SOUND: Like all hockey video games, the announcers lack here. There commentary is dull and repetative at best. While it does not take anything away for the game, it does not add anything to it as well.
GAME PLAY: Here is where this game beats EA's game hands down! The game flows well, is as close to realistic as it can be. The goalies on here are the toughest I have ever seen in any video game, and I have been playing NHL games since the Sega Genises days. It is extremely hard to score on the goalies in this game. They do not give up the cheap goals like the ones on EA does, which makes this one far less frustrating. Line changes can be a bit frustrating, but once ya get used to it, along with line matching, they are not too bad. The Pro Stick control is fantastic, and adds so much to this game.
Extras: There are TONS of historic teams, logos, and different rinks to unlock by completing tasks in this one. It is great to be playing the 1980 USA/USSR game, or having Gretzky play against Gordie Howe in their prime. To me, this alone makes this game well worth the purchase.
Like I said before, I was not too sure about getting this game, but now I can say I will never play another one. I highly endorse it to anyone and everyone. Trust me, you will not be dissapointed in it.
