Starts out fun but gets old pretty fast.

If you are going to play a hockey game on a system this old I would stick with one of the ones made for the Genesis. This game is ok to play for awhile but after the first game I was certainly no longer interested. The screen is constantly moving around making it very annoying to focus on anything, and the opposing goalie held onto the puck, making us face off about 85% of the time even though I always made sure my team was clear of his net so that he would pass it out.

GRAPHICS: 2
These graphics are nothing special when the game is standing still, but since the game is constantly moving it makes it much worse. The framerate is not high enough it seems to keep up with the constant motion of the game, making it difficult to tell what person you have selected or even what direction they were facing.

CONTROLS: 7
Simple to understand and easy to use, you can figure these out fairly fast. All you have is pass and shoot, hold down shoot to make it a slapshot.

GAMEPLAY: 2
You can not see the stats of the teams that you choose, the AI is horrible, the game stops most of the time their goalie gets the puck, and it is very difficult to switch to the player that you want.

SOUND: 5
Not bad but certainly not enough, there was some music while you are playing but not much, what I did hear though sounded like it came from a circus though. Besides that the sound of the shots are decent.

MULTIPLAYER: N/A
