Rating: - ONE OF THE BEST HOCKEY GAMES EVER!!!
THe ONLY bad point of this game is that ther isnt enough fighting! fights arent easy enough to start on this one like some other games. The graphics are great anf the teams are realistic and play as good as they are(or were at the time) I got alot of mileage out of my copy!
Rating: - Good for its time...but not great
Good overall hockey sim...the graphics and animation are a step above most predecessors.
A few annoynances: The goaltending is too good. This isn't a complaint about lack of scoring, but if the game is supposed to be realistic: 1) The players shouldn't be able to get so many 2-on-1 and breakaway opportunities, 2) When the players do get breakaways they rarely score (1 out of 25) and on one timers the goaltenders make more saves than in real-life.
Also, when a goalie makes a save it seems like there are never any rebounds..even when the shot is to the blocker side. P>It's interesting because the old games like NHL '94 where it seemsed like you could score at will are about as realistic as the newer, vamped up goalies. Some of the newer games (NHL 2002) have made some strides in terms of reality where a player in front of the net can knock home a rebound from time-to-time.
Rating: - A solid tranformation to a better console.
We all know that Sega had some excelent hockey games on the Genesis. This is a good follow-up, as it is fast, and looks really good. I like the game,and the gameplay is original simulation stuff. It is a great game, but by no means up to the high standards that 2K2 reached two whole years later.

This game is so great you can't put it into words. But i'll try. The graphics are one of the best around.Why go out and buy a xbox or PS2 and a hockey game when you can have the same fun with a system and a NHL 2k just as good. It has real life like sounds, amazing checks and more. I can't wait to buy it. I'd rate it a 10 star if i could.
Rating: - great game
this has been a good game. i enjoy playing it. i especially like the replays. this game has excellent graphincs and can keep you playing for long periods of time. i especially like the checking and it is great to play against a friend. i just hate those refs.
