    The Second Encounter is by far the most frenetic first-person game we've played in a while. [Issue#66, p.102]

    • 70 Critic Score
    The racing itself is decent, if not quite as exciting as you'd hope, and while it ticks all the boxes, the overall production still feels a little threadbare. [Issue#65, p.91]

    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score

    • 70 Critic Score
    A unique experience that manages to offset its problems with great ideas and a superbly implemented core mechanic. [Issue#65, p.102]

    • X-ONE Magazine UK
    • 42 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    One day someone will nail this series and make a game that does its mystery characteristics justice, but we're stuck waiting until then. [Issue#66, p.91]

    • 80 Critic Score

    • 90 Critic Score

    NHL 11 plays a fine game of ice hockey, and it never ceases to surprise us just how much fun every installment of the series is. [Issue#65, p.91]
