This NHL game is a classic. Although it lacks the flair and graphics of modern games such as NHL 09, nothing beats playing a game from the past. The modes of the game are extremely entertaining and can lead to lots and lots and lots of playing time. You made find yourself awake until well after midnight just trying to get your hands on that Stanley Cup. You may be tired in the morning and a little worse for wear but deep down you will know that it was worth it.
With good, simple features you are able to quickly learn the controls and hit the ice. The gameplay is arcade style, which was the major platform for the time that it was made. There is also a good choice of teams.
The game is a great way to get kids to work into the NHL game. It was a great platform that paved the way for future games such as the ea sports NHL series and the 2k series. It is hard to pick out of these two which it is more similar to, however if you like these games than this game is great to have bit of a laugh with.
The main thing that I like about this
game is it simplicity and its ease in which you can just load it up and then hit the ice. It truly speaks to the lovers of the plug and play gaming. Along with fast action and great excitement, the game really packs quite a punch and can surprise you by sucking you in quite deep, which then leads you to those long nights of hockey that I spoke about earlier.
So for good arcade, puck slapping fun this is the right game. It appeals to so many gamers, both lovers of the sport and those that have only heard of it. So whether you live in Canada or Jamaica, you are sure to get a laugh out of it and quite a few hours of playing the game. So give the game a go and enjoy yourself. It may be handy to get some good food and plenty of beer and spend a night with this game. Being prepared is always important. So remember kick back and let the puck hit the ice!
