Rating: - A NHL fan from the beggining
I have been a NHL series fan from the start. I had the 96, 97, and 98 NHL games for sega. I loved those games so much. The gameplay was amazing. I recently got the NHL 2000 for playstation, thinking that it would be the same game just with better graphics. I was way off. That game is terrible. The only half desent thing about that game is that the replays are well designed. One of my friends was having a birthday and he also lover the NHL series for sega so i was going to get him a hockey game. The only problem was ..., I didn't know what to get him. I saw FaceOff 2000 and I thought, why not give it a try. Later that week at his birthday party when we started playing it, I relized that this was the best hockey I have ever played. The next day I went and bought it for myself. I don't know why it is so great. The graphics are pretty good and the controls are amazing, but besides that it is just a great game. I would recommend this game to anyone that has playstation, it doesn't matter if you like hockey or not.
Rating: - Almost "Glorified Pong"
Although very close to finally hitting that winning formula, FaceOff falls just short once again. There's really not that much missing from the game: all the teams and players are there, animations are decent, the control and physics models are reasonable as well. The problem with FaceOff is that is simply isn't fun. The AI is simply pathetic and often falls into the same boring patterns, forcing you to do the same offensive things every time or sumbit to the defense. It simply turns boring within a few minutes, even for a die-hard hockey fan like myself! Losing the atmoshpere and feel of the game hurts FaceOff so much it comes dangerously close to the "glorified Pong" range.
Rating: - Horrible!
I'm sorry to say, but this is a horrible hockey game. I played this game for about a week, then started playing NHL 2000 by EA Sports, and I was amazed by the difference. Even if you like hockey, this game isn't for you...The graphics aren't very good, and one really annoying thing is the replays- they are very bad graphically, and you can barely see anything. If you want a hockey game, try NHL 2000- it's by far the best. Do not buy this game, or you'll be using it as a shooting target for your hockey net!

This game was just allright. I was expecting more teams and more options, such as a pelanty shot section and secret codes. The best assest of the game is that it is very fast paced. They could have done much more w/ it though.
Rating: - Whips NHL 2000 in many respects
When I finally decided to buy a new hockey game for my playstation (the last hockey game I owned was NHL '95 for SNES) I did a lot of scouting around. Many magazines claimed that NHL 2000 was far better. So I took their word for it and boy were they wrong! When the players skate, they look like they are walking on the ice, but in Faceoff 2000, they move eloquently with side pushes and turns. Sometimes if I am moving a player from a stand still, it seems it will take him a second to get moving. However, this could be the effects of my Dual shock controller that has been used so much, it looks like one of those over-used worn down Best Buy controllers. The announcer is pretty cool, but like some football games, the comments are often a second off the events taking place. Replays are in nice detail but are not always so smooth. Overall, if you love hockey games or just want a game that you can pick up and play and have fun, then this is a game for you.
