Severely underrated.
Despite the graphics being passable on the N64 and the different game modes limited, the gameplay was superb and quite unique. Swinging the Wii-mote for shoots was fun and shaking for checks was quite good. The fight were exciting, and the goaltending controls were quite nice. I also found the zamboni mini-game to be a nice little feature.
All in all, 2K truely did "Bring back the fun". If you like advance features you should avoid this game, but if you want to just have a good buy it now.
