  • Summary: In order to become a superstar in the NHL, you'll need a combination of speed, power, and moves.

    You can’t really go wrong with this one.

    What accounts for the less-than-perfect score is the extreme amount of tweaking it takes to get everything just the way you like it.

    There's just enough innovation here to warrant spending another 50 clams, but only if you're a die-hard fan of the series. [Winter 2002, p.105]

    There isn't a more disappointing hockey game out there. NHL went from being my favorite game series of all time to one of my least.

I will never buy another EA NHL game ever again!… Expand
