I received this for Christmas and I love it. It definently takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, you will probably love it. It has plenty of options, with pond hockey, mini-rink hockey, coaching abilities, management abilities, and playing options. There is even an option to drive the Zamboni around during intermissions. The announcers can become repititive and the music can be too. The theme from "Cops" is played after every penalty call and can get old quickly. Take control of your team by signing and trading players, sending them to the minors, or calling them up to the NHL. Facial details of the players are not anything special, but the fact the goalies have the same masks in the games as they do in reality is very cool. During shootouts you control the goalie-you can stack the pads, go butterfly, poke check, and more, but the matching the Nunchuk and Wiimote to the display on the screen could be better. Different players have different deke moves so it is interesting to see just what everyone can do (Ovechkin has a very nice deke move!). The schedules for 08/09 in the game are the same as the schedules in real life. I just started a season, and the control of the team you have is excellent. It would make any hockey fan excited.Read full review
Very realistic game. It's like watching a real game. A little confusing to play at first, but after a few hours of trying different moves it got a little better. Not for someone with poor hand eye coordination, have to use both the controller and the nun chuck...pushing buttons on one, while shaking the other. It too confusing for me, but my husband loves it.
This is an excellent game. The players are responsive to the controls and my kids have a lot of fun with it. They enjoy the ability to set their own period time limits to fit their play time. It took a little getting used to the passing and shooting but once they got the hang of it, it has been great. Would highly recommend it to anyone.
Game is skipping and very hard to play. This was the evaluation from my 5 year old Grandson that we bought the game for) Bentley

The game play and shooting with wii remote are fun but the controls do take a little getting used to because you use both hands. Once you get the hang of it's fun and easy to play. The graphics are lacking a little but if your a hockey fan you should like this game. I like the wrist and snapshots with the wii remote.
