One of the finest efforts yet from Sony. This is truly a surprise in this day of next generation consoles.

It shows a lot more polish and precision than previous versions, and will give you hours of hard checking NHL and international team competition.

Easily the smoothest PS one hockey experience and it was the first to truly tackle realistic puck physics like deflections and tip-ins. [Nov 2001, p.50]

If you're looking for arcade hockey or you're into simulation games, FaceOff 2001 delivers both packages fairly well with all sorts of customizable options to tweak the game to your liking.
