    A great hockey game. I haven't played 2002 yet but it is definitely going to be hard to beat. The one main drawback is the memory it takes up which is 2 megabytes. On an 8 meg memory card thats a lot. But the game itself is great.

    First NHL game I ever played, and it's still my favourite. The game made me fall in love with hockey. you need a lot of memory to save your game dough.

    While the graphics aren't as good as I expected from this PS2 title, they are still a huge jump up for PlayStation owners. The reported slowdown hardly detracts from enjoying the game.

    Although NHL 2001 is by no means perfect -- it lacks drop passes and give-and-goes, and is mysteriously missing the icon-based passing found in the PS1 version -- it is so visually spectacular and sound in fundamentals that we don't hesitate to recommend it.

    As with previous games in the series, the computer AI could have used a little tweaking; it just seems way too easy to score on your opponent.
