...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.
