    It's refreshing to see a hockey game that actually attempts to simulate the sport. with graphical and sound improvements for next year and this series will be bordering on perfection. the gameplay is way way ahead of ea's nhl series. if you are a real hockey fan and want a sim, this is the only game out there.

    Great Game! Super realistic yet fun. The Goalies are tough, but otherwise nearing perfection.

    Who pays for reality?????? certainly not gamecube...what was sega thinking this game is the worst sports game ive ever played. You are better off playing nhl hitz as it takes u to a world of hardcore hockey.

    Its alright, as a ice hockey enthusiast and conniseur (me and my boy go watch ALL the games, even the wnhl). Only big problem is too much off net mooring, like what is roger moore doing in my ice hockey? + he wasnt even that good of a bond, get off the field mate. Cool ice effect, whenever there is a break, then the ice is shiny. They should add messi for the 2k4 one. Im hyped!

  1. Treyarch and Sega have created the "Madden" of hockey with this title. It just needs some aural and visual polish to become something amazing.
  2. The most realistic playing hockey title to date and a fun one at that.
  3. It plays like a dream.
