Now I'm not pretending I'm a hockey expert. In fact - the last hockey game I played was Wayne Gretsky on the N64. I tried this Demo on Xbox Live though and was hooked immediatley. The controls are relativley straight forward and the Be A Pro Mode is awesome! If you don't know your Hockey (at all - like me :P) then you'll be confused when the whistle blows seemingly randomly due to some obscure rule but hey, that's hockey! Even if you don't know it - its still very fun. I highly reccomend it if you like Sports games. Great online too!
There is so much to do on this game as well you'll never get bored. Not much customisation on the Create A Player but he's wearing a lot of padding and a helmet so it doesn't really make a difference! Would have been nice to have a Tiger Woods style Game Face option. Either way, it's a stonking game and deserves to be played!
