I think this game was pretty cool, it was back when this series was more arcadey. The game is pretty fun, and the commentators are really good I love them. The only thing that bugs me out is the AI, they are tough. Definitely play this with a friend. The fighting is pretty bad but its funny, it looks like rockem sockem. I'm happy they changed it in the later games. I thank this game though for getting me interested in hockey.
