Wayne Gretzky Hockey 2 is one of those classic games you can never forget about. The old school way of hockey is remembered by its 1980's graphics. The view when you play is not the full ice view or half ice view, but instead it is about a three quarter view. The players are average in size and the clarity of the game is actually above average.
The speed of the game is at about a medium pace. The old school jerseys and teams makes it more exciting than ever to play this game.
I mean when I was younger and played this game it made me think of all the super stars at that time that I looked up to and wanted to play forever! Well maybe not forever but you get my point. Time would pass as the periods would go by and the fans went crazy. Scoring wasn't an issue, you just need to get your practice in and you'll figure it out.
They definitely don't make classics like this game anymore. I know there were other hockey games that many people enjoyed and had fun with, but this one definitely is one of the best. I mean come on people its Wayne Gretzky we are talking about!
Also one of the
things you'll enjoy when playing this game is how easy it is to control and how basic it is to follow. Games today are complicated for some people and many find it frustrating because there is so much to do for such a simple manouver. Not this game, it's easy and very fun...just the way games should be sometimes. I also enjoyed the fact that I could pick some of the Canadian hockey teams that are no longer in the N.H.L. and see them on the ice again just like the old days when I was growing up. The game of hockey for video games changed when the second part of Wayne Gretzky Hockey came out. The game improved and the fullfillment of playing hockey again came back.
As a Canadian who loves the game of hockey, take my word for it, you'll love this game and not want to stop playing once you start the action. Wayne Gretzky is the best player to ever wear skates on ice and he proved it through his whole career. Now with this game he proves it again in the best possible way, and that way is the "Great Ones" way. He made the game on and off the ice if you ask me. I hope you enjoy this game as much as I did and am still doing. Now get out there and play some hockey!!!!!
