User Rating: 8.2 | Gretzky NHL PSP
By slapshot720 | Review Date:
There havent been that many great hockey games on handhelds. However, that is changed thanks to Gretzky NHL. The first thing you will notice is the quick and speedy gameplay. I love it. Its perfect for a handheld. Altough the frame rate is that good, you can still have fun playing the game. Also, the sound. There is no commentary. Strangely.....i love it. Commentary in games gets so repetitive so quick. The game really capures the soun of blades gliding smooth along the ice, and the bone crushing sound of the mid-ice collison. Loading times are what kills this game. It literally takes 2.5 minutes to get to the main menu. then another 2 minutes to get into the game. Online play is....well.....meh.... It could've been a lot better. It is really choppy at times. To sum it all up, if your a hockey fan BUY THIS GAME!
