Pretty solid, good idea, not quite there yet, hopefully next year will improve gameplay slightly - and maybe graphics

this is a really fun game. as a hockey fan i've been waiting forever for it. a little dissapointed in the graphics though, you cant see a players face even when creating one, and goalies have no necks. camera angles aren't the best. the controls work pretty well i'd say and i do enjoy playing, hopefully next years will tweak it up a little better, but for now, this will do the trick...also there are classic teams, but im pretty sure the players dont even have the right numbers or anything, all i've used was the 93 leafs with out dougie gilmour, something id like to see is the generic player just wearing #93, or #17 for wendal clark. but it is better than no classics i'll give them that. this is a game for a real hockey fan who's desperate to play one on the wii. however if i had a 360 as well as a wii, i would have chosen nhl 09 for sure. hopefully one day the 2k franchise will be able to compete with a more hardcore game (cause bringing back then fun doesnt make much sense, the EA versions are a lot of fun) overall i'm glad i got the game because it is very entertaining and finally some hockey for the wii!



(i just wish the leafs didnt suck so much, no sundin means NO offense!)
