40 bucks for a different number on the box.
I love hockey, and I love computers. This game is, then, a heartbreak in so many ways. I played NHL 07 day in and day out, content with my keyboard and my screen. Whence goeth the PC hockey game? This is so transparently... Read Full Review

Recycling is good, but not in gaming.
EA is at least consistent. In this case, however, the consistency is not what anyone who is a fan of hockey is looking for. Bugs that have existed since at least the '06 version of the game are still showing here. The... Read Full Review

Awful. Simply a copy of 07 with most of the same flaws, plus a few new flaws for bad measure.
This is NHL 07 all over again with minor differences, mostly bad ones. The commentary, camera angles, and gameplay are virtually identical. -rosters are bad, as usual. Some free agents are considered free agents, ot... Read Full Review

NHL 08, not bad, I have to say, EA has done well. One thing that annoyed me was that, the goalies are the same.
Very good game, would have liked to see goalie mode and defense fake outs. I still don't know what the deke modifier does but oh well. EA has done well, i LOVE the Skill Stick, the goalies actually stop the puck, and the... Read Full Review

Why other Users have claimed that EA made a misrepresentation, and I think not. This game is awesome.
First and foremost I'd like to say that EA gave us the full features of the PC on ther website a long time before release. The link to it is here http://www.easports.com/nhl08/news.jsp?id=nhlonps2, Aside from that. Here ... Read Full Review

Great game but....
To many good details to list. Graphics, sound, just pure gameplay. Especially the one on one deking. The only thing keeping from a 10 is the connection to online games. Especially online team play. EA needs to fix that. ... Read Full Review

Another let down by Ea. This version is basically the same thing as the last few versions with minor changes. Do Not BUY
This version is NHL 08. It features the same thing as the other version except with few positive additions. For one, when the puck is against the boards behind the goalie, an arrow appears showing where it is. This may s... Read Full Review

2K Sports has been eclipsed! Finally EA got it right!
I've been buying every hockey video game since the first NHL game on the Sega Genesis back in 1990, so I consider myself quite the expert when it comes to the sport on the small screen. Over the past 6 years it's been a ... Read Full Review
