    It can't go without mentioning that 2K8 is available for just twenty bones - a darn good value even if it were just a glorified roster update.

    It's still the best hockey game on PS2, but a lack of new features means it's just last year's game reloaded. [Dec 2007, p.98]

    If you already own NHL 2K7, you've got this game and just need to update your rosters. If you don't have a 2K hockey game, go buy NHL 2K7 -- it's the same game and you can get it used for less than $10.

    The PlayStation 2 version of NHL 2K8 does little to impress.

    This game is full of bugs. I can't believe it.

    I totally agree with GT. This the worst NHL 2K-game so far. Full of bugs, and it freezes way too often. I hope they fix those issues, before I ran out of my tissues.… Full Review »

    Im glad I kept my 2k sports 07 copy. First off the players don't look anything like the actual guys. Some of the bald players have long hair sticking out of their helmets. The goal nets are not on their moorings, they are halfway up the crease. You can't use a wrist shot on a breakaway. The AI is faulty too. I played a game on "Hall of Famer" level (usually), the shots were 62-7 for me. I lost 6-1. Unless you like to collect games that are bugged, leave this one on the shelf. Thats why its only $20.00.… Full Review »
