  1. The game has seen a remarkable improvement since the previous Gretzky NHL released at the handheld’s launch, but it still isn’t quite where it needs to be and probably can’t compete yet with 2K Sports’ or EA Sports’ versions if and when they come out for the PSP.
  2. This game might not be a hardcore hockey fan's portable dream game, but the less pickey gamers might want to give this game a shot.
  3. Despite the occasionally erratic opponent AI and the small framerate stutters here and there, this is still a solid game of hockey. The game modes are decent enough with 3 on 3 Countdown being one of the most enjoyable.
  4. 40
    The gameplay itself, while a bit more grounded than its lame console cousin, has too many AI issues.
