    I don't know what all of these boobs are talking about.. this game is much better than 07. The player animations are so much crisper and all gameplay is devistating. 10 from me!

    Great game, only one disappointment that it's very similar to NHL 07, although it has some graphic improvements and some new game features.

    I loled at the PC Gamer bandwagon jumping review. NHL08 was pretty solid. But where the hell was PC Gamer these last 8 years when the the NHL franchise sucked? They were busy giving glowing reviews (mostly) to this fading franchise.
    05, 06 and 07 are 35% games, not this one.

    NHL 08 offers up a few control tweaks and minimal updates to the dynasty mode, but that's about it.

    Give it a go when it's come down in price if you're desperate to have the new rosters, otherwise stick with 07. [Nov 2007, p.56]

    A perfectly adequate console port. [Nov 2007, p.84]
