  Coming from a non-Hockey fan, this is a fun game and a good addition to your VC collection.

  I've never been a big fan of Hockey, and I'm still not, but I still found Ice Hockey to be a fun game anyway. The controls in Ice Hockey are pretty basic. You hold the Wii Remote horizontally, and use the + Control Pa... Read Full Review

  Ice Hockey is a quite good game on its own but when compared to other NES hockey titles, it doesn't really stand out.

  Ice Hockey for the NES is interesting not just because it is one of the genre-shaping games. but mainly because it's Nintendo's first attempt at a hockey game (Nonconformity!). However, its gameplay is not as good as man... Read Full Review

  Best hockey game ever made

  By craigrut | Review Date: Dec 21, 2008 | NES

  I love this game. It is a total blast. Single player can be frustrating from time to time, but I honestly think that the idea of a fat/skinny/medium character was a revolution for hockey. You're otherwise stuck wit... Read Full Review

  It's no Blades of Steel, but for other reasons still a must have hockey game for the NES.

  By darthcobain17 | Review Date: Sep 19, 2007 | NES

  Ice Hockey for the NES was one of the first games I ever had. Later on Blades of Steel came out, which was a much superior game as far as realistic hockey simulations go. However, Ice Hockey has many redeeming qualities ... Read Full Review

  So old and ugly all the way around.

  By deactivated-626d7beb18aa6 | Review Date: Mar 09, 2007 | NES

  OK so back in the day this game was good but not a classic. Now days from the mechanics to the graphics and even if I wanted to forgive the sound this game is one of the worst you can pay for. Most free games off the net... Read Full Review
