    Worst hockey game ever. Have you, V7 devs, acctually played hockey? Why have you done this? PS and XBOX do not deserve it. Have registered here specially to write this review.

    A great arcade hockey game. You can play using a couple of buttons or get deeper with right stick flicks. I appreciate the Slap Shot movie look they were going for but it comes off as kinda of ugly. Don't be dissuaded by the screenshots as the gameplay is a lot of fun. Not a fan of the objective based story mode as a simple manage a team would have been more fun. Overall it is greatA great arcade hockey game.

    Overall, if you’re looking for a hockey game that controls, looks and sounds like the old school hockey arcade games then Old Time Hockey is a perfect match.

There are different controls for the more casual audience and the hardcore audience or even those looking to crack open a beer and play. Whether you’re punching other players, throwing hip checks, jamming out to the soundtrack or progressing through the story mode, there is enough here to make any hockey fan happy. I did run into a few glitches that detracted from my review, but other than those I would recommend this game for anyone looking for a hockey game to play, especially fans of the genre.

    This game is pretty terrible. I like the art style and design of the game and the idea, but the controls are one of the worst in a hockey game I have ever played. Very unresponsive (especially during fighting) and I feel my chances in the game are more luck than what I can do with the controls. Nice try, but definitely not worth the money.

    The 2 points are awarded for the art style and the menu soundtrack but that's the most I'm going to give for this game.

    Everything else about the game is not very good, the controls are awful especially when it comes to player switching, defensive play like never being able to connect a stick check or offensive play such as passing. The goalies control are awful, always giving up goals    The 2 points are awarded for the art style and the menu soundtrack but that's the most I'm going to give for this game.

    Everything else about the game is not very good, the controls are awful especially when it comes to player switching, defensive play like never being able to connect a stick check or offensive play such as passing. The goalies control are awful, always giving up goals but yet the AI goalies are impossible to score against. The fighting controls... They are painful! They feel so delayed and just feel pure luck when I win a fight.

    I'd stay strongly away from the game even when it's heavily discounted. If only PSN had the same refund policy as Steam then I'd be disapointed.    … Expand

    I wanted so desperately for this game to be good cause everything EA makes these days is absolute trash. And worse, there’s a huge void of midway and 2k style games of the late 90s and 2000s that were amazing. Unfortunately, though this game’s heart is in the right place, the controls are so screwed up, there’s no hybrid of retro-and-semi-pro to let you skate backwards but pass with B, theI wanted so desperately for this game to be good cause everything EA makes these days is absolute trash. And worse, there’s a huge void of midway and 2k style games of the late 90s and 2000s that were amazing. Unfortunately, though this game’s heart is in the right place, the controls are so screwed up, there’s no hybrid of retro-and-semi-pro to let you skate backwards but pass with B, the speed up function always loses control and it’s almost impossible to connect a hit. Good luck trying to get a one-timer or landing a perfectly timed crushing cross check into the boards. The pass almost never goes to the player you want especially if you’re in the zone. This game could so easily have been NHL 94/96 for PS4 but missed the fine tuning. Shame. It’s the game we need.… Expand

    If you are a hockey this game is for you. It’s an arcade with simple or advance control settings. If you are asking for realistic graphics go play EA NHL. This game isn’t perfect it has its little flaws but it’s entertaining and when you can get everyone on both teams to throw hands that’s cool. Old school hockey it’s worth it. Nice retro vibe.

    While there are some real qualities in OTH, the deficiencies in gameplay and relatively low replay value make it a hard sell even for the virtual hockey fan who is looking for a knock-down, drag-out, arcade hockey title.

    While unpolished, Old Time Hockey offers a lot for fans looking for an experience outside of NHL.

    Old Time Hockey is not a game we'd suggest for your own game library. The controls are cumbersome and the AI is not good enough. By the way, the OST is great.
