    NHL 2K9 review

    This game is what you would expect in a hockey game, it's all generic game play shoot the puck and check people when on defense. The only thing that stands out on game play is the fighting it is pretty fun, but short all... Read Full Review

    This game is not worth playing, wait until the series get better!

    Overall feeling: OK There are some cool features in this game, as shooting with a real life shooting motion with the Wiimote. But the graphics is lacking, the raw hockey feeling is not really there and sometimes the AI ... Read Full Review

    Ok but i dont reccomend this game if NHL 09 is an option...

    Take-Two Interactive should have a Take-Two on this game.

    NHL 2K9 is on the Wii. So, it must be fun, you ask? It is kinda fun, but not for long. One thing you'll notice about this game is the fact that there aren't very many modes. You've got Quickplay, Franchise, Season, Min... Read Full Review

    2k8 May Have Actually Been Better.

    Since I've always been a fan of 2k sports I figured with my holiday money burning a hole in my pocket I'd go out and purchase NHL 2k9, and boy oh boy was that a mistake. The graphics are stone age at best, glitches galor... Read Full Review
