really good game. fast paced play. very good hockey simulation.
i give 7.5 out 0f 10 for the game play. very good game play. 8 out of 10 for the graphics. great graphics. 8 out of 10 for the sound. the commentary is great, the music suits a hockey game, and the sound effects are sharp. 7.5 out of 10 for the value and replay value. this game has really good replay value. 8 out of 10 for the tilt. the controlls are great and really easy to use. so overall i give this really good game a 7.5 out of 10. this is simply a really fun game to play. a great way to pass time if you're bored. e.a. games really knows how to make good hockey games. they did a great job with this one. i enjoyed the ps2 version of this game more than the xbox 360 version simply because i don't like the skill stick in the xbox 360 versio. i prefer the old type controlls. i'd rather use the buttons to shoot rather than the skill stick. i just couldn't get used to the skill stick in the xbox 360 version. i like the old style hockey games rather than the xbox 360 versions of nhl 07 and nhl 08. nhl 2004 is my favorite all time hockey game. nhl 99 is my second favorite hockey game.
