  1. The graphics and audio track are superb, and the player interface, with its customizable game play options, all add up for one amazing and enjoyable experience.
  2. 88
    Offers an incredibly fun and addictive vision of hockey.
  3. Basically, everything I could ask for in a hockey game is here. Unfortunately, it has been here for a few years now, and it just isn’t as exciting as it used to be.
  4. It continues a long-standing tradition by offering just enough in the way of improvements to warrant at least a cursory glance from past customers.
  5. 78
    A few AI problems keep it from reaching expectations.
  6. It really does feel like being there, or at least watching it on the television in the early hours of the morning, without having to stay up late.
