    Well, if your deciding whether to get 2k9 or nhl09 get 09! This is broke and the only plus is the fighting scheme.

    A fun hockey game. But it has some issues.

    I had a lot of hopes for this game but I had my reservations. For the most part my reservations were right. The graphics fall short mostly because its a Wii game. The controls are a step in the right direction, but they ... Read Full Review

    While the controls could be better, it sure brought great hockey to the Wii.
