Nice! I am getting it today. Stopped by the gamestop last night and there was 25 people in line... forget that.
So you like it? And, would someone that thinks hockey is the worst sport on Earth like playing it? Not that I think that way, there is soccer you know.
^same question for me. i remember i used to play wayne gretzky hockey for n64 and turn off all the penalties. it was fun. would this game be fun(with hitting and all) with no penalties(and icing) for someone who doesn't like/watch hockey?
...for those who don't like hockey [myself included!] that are wondering if they will like this game, I can assure you that it was worth every penny. And if that isn't enough, they added a bonus mini game of 3 on 3 arcade style that is more along the lines of NBA Jame style cartoon'ish play. The actual game itself allows you to set the after whistle play to "anything goes"...this means you can completely level your competition into the boards...and the fighting mode is pretty cool too with a first-person fighting view and all. There are so many different game play settings that you can control, the possibilities are virtually endless for the style of hockey you'd like to play.
