NHL 2001

"Graphically, this is the finest looking NHL game to date-and it may just be the best-looking PC sports game to date...Puck handling is still pretty much glue-based...the game is still arcade hockey..."

"As promising as this sounds, the NHL series has been mainly based on click-and-shoot hockey, more arcarde style than anything. I haven't noticed the impact of improved Artificial Intelligence in the last few versions. This is not something detrimental to the game, that's just the way it was made, and perhaps how the way video hockey was meant to be played."

"With wonderful graphics, beautiful sounds and realistic game play, there seems to be no challenger in sight ready to challenge EA's dominance. "

"...you'll swear this wasn't a virtual game... No less than 10 cameras follow the action, including several new perspectives... audio is as brilliant as ever... you'll rarely feel the program "pre-ordains" the results of a game or play..."

"For hockey fans, it gets no better than NHL 2001. "
