With big hits and sweet fakes that you control, NHL delivers nonstop hockey action from the first drop of the puck. If you're taken out by a monster hit, redemption is easy: drop the gloves and slug it out in a good old-fashioned brawl.
The program lets you pick up and play with the tutorial level or take a team from the cellar to the Stanley Cup in new Dynasty Mode. I find it fun to watch because it makes me feel like I'm watching a hockey game on TV and have suddenly been given the power to control one of the teams.
The players are really well rendered. You get to see plenty of close-ups of their faces; Electronic Arts did a great job of capturing their likenesses. While they're not perfect and they kind of remind me of marionettes for some reason, they're still astounding to look at.
Every time there's a stop in the action during the game you get to see close-ups of the players as they skate around. When there's a penalty you even see the offending player argue with the referee, who doesn't want to hear it and tells the guy to get in the box. The gameplay overall is just great. The players look very realistic as they skate around the ice, and the game takes real life physics into account so that you can't just turn on a dime and start skating in the opposite direction if you want.
The big hit button is fun; opposing players go down hard when they're hit. If you want to have some more fun, you can hit other players after the whistle has blown, but be careful or you'll get called for a penalty.
The crowd is really into the game. They cheer and scream when the action gets intense and even chant every so often.
Given the lackluster crowds in the John Madden football series, this is a nice touch. The Madden games have also lacked in the commentary department, but NHL in contrast has two guys who won't shut up, which I like. They give you facts about the players' early careers and talk about how they're doing in the game and season so far. Pop-up graphics also give you plenty of information every so often, which just adds to the real-life feel.
My only gripe with this game has to do with the clock.
