Advantages: Great fun, plenty of unlockables

Disadvantages: Will not appeal to non ice hockey fans, quite out of date

Although this game is out of date now I still have a lot of fun playing it. The game is basically an arcade style NHL game. Basically ice hockey with more goals and violence.

The single player mode in the game is quite well done as you create a team and travel round the globe playing other teams and completing set challengers like scoring two goals or getting a shut-out (not conceeding). By completing these objectives and beating the teams your created team become more skilled etc. This part of the game is great fun however the real fun comes from the multi-player aspect.

The multi-player part of the game is the best as it's much more fun to play against someone who isn't automatically programmed to respond in a certain way. The most fun bit is the fights that can be started in the game. You can swing punches, duck, dodge and grab in the fights. The key aspect here is the fact that it's fun. If the game had tried to be too realistic then the game wouldn't have been any fun.

As an added bonus there are plenty of mini-games and also tournament options to keep fans occupied. There are also several trivia games if you know plenty of stuff about ice hockey.

Overall this is an incredibly fun game and you should be able to pick it up for only a few pounds!

Summary: Great fun game which you can pick up for about £3
