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

User Rating: 7 | NHL 2K9 WII
Excellent multiplayer capabilities and its just plain fun. The controls could be better but it has the potential to become a classic. If you're thinking of buying it and you love hockey, get it for sure. Its great, has all the right teams but the player and team creator could be better. If you're choosing between Nhl 09 for the ps3 or 360 and Nhl 2k9 pick 09 but seeeing that NHL 2k9 is the only one for the wii its a good start. It is definetely better than Kids Sports Ice Hockey but NHL 09 is at the top for sure. I'm not sure if I'll buy NHL 2k10 for Wii but if EA sports makes a game for the Wii I will surely. If you do not need the game, then wait for a better, but for now its a good start. Unfortunately, NHL 2k9 does not have Wi-Fi therfore it has its ups and downs. Although the single-console multiplayer has lots of different modes and features.

EA Sports come on lets go, all of the hockey fans with WII's are waiting for a dream hockey game for the Wii.
