5 out of 5 stars I love this game ! It's a lot of fun to play !   July 29, 2008
I'm a little late getting this game , but i really enjoy the gameplay for Playstation 2 . It's a challenge to score goals this year , seem like they made the goalies really stingy this time around . I also love the move the you can use with certain superstars . I also like listen to the Hall Of Fame announcing crew of Bob Cole and Harry Neale , makes you feel like you're watching Hockey NIght In Canada . This game rocks . Thumbs up all the way !

4 out of 5 stars good game for the money   April 1, 2008
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

even though its not the best hockey game out there, it is worth it because of the cheap price. i owned 2k5 and that game was fun but the only problem with the 2k hockey games is that they would freeze alot during season mode and that became annoying. when i played 2k8 it didnt freeze when i played a season. the only problem with the game to me is the goalies poke check way to much and in real hockey they dont do that too much. but its worth buying if you like hockey games. this one is the best buy for the money

I previously owned NHL 2k5 and except for the change in roosters, this game is pretty much the same. The graphics are equally as good as can be expected since 2K5 with little changes here and there.

I bought both this and NHL 2008 by EA and I liked EA a lot more. I used to play EA's but heard all the positive reviews I thought I'd give it a try. I didn't really like it at all though. The graphics weren't very good, and it wasn't a whole lot of fun. I liked EA's a lot more mostly cause it had a kind of realness to it verse the arcade style of this one.
