    This game is so horrible. The controls are so choppy that after 5 minutes of playing it you are ready to recycle it. I strongly suggest to pass on this game because it is a joke for a hockey game!

    This game really is a disappointment. The AI is so horrible that your teammates will often skate in offsides as your coming down the ice. Also, the passing in this game is awful. You often will be sending passes to the point when you

    Gretzky NHL has the distinction of being the first hockey game available on the PSP. The frame-rate can get choppy at times, your teammates will go offside more often than they should. Despite this, the game still manages to be kinda fun.

  1. Simply being the only hockey choice doesn't excuse things like the awful frame rate, the sloppy puck handling, and the generally lackluster gameplay that Gretzky NHL offers. You're better off without this one.

    Frame rate sticklers will want to stay away, but if you're a hockey nut with a PlayStation Portable, you almost have no choice but to buy.
  3. Big on speed, really big on fun, and small on accurate passing.
