This game appele's to every one, not just the people who like playing ice hockey, i haven't even step'ed on a ice rink and I loved it and so did all my freinds so the chance's are you'll love it to. This game can play up to eight players which I havent actully experianced yet as I havent got a multi-tap, sadly. As you start the game up the main menu which you'll have the option to go on / quick game, advanced modes, game settings and inside ea sports. if you selecte quick game youll just select your team and shirt and so on. If you select advanced modes you can select ether tornament, Season and so on. I think this game is most defenitly worth buying as it will keep you and also all your freinds happy for a long time.
