Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Game
The game is fun. The goalies save most of the shots, but that's what happens in the NHL.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - The worst NHL title I've played
Maybe this game is hit or miss, but I can't stand it. I'm not a fan of the new controls, as I find it awkward to use both sticks at the same time.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The BEST Sports game made EVER!!!
This is not only the best EA Sports game ever, but also the BEST sports game EVER made! Very deep and easy to control. Very life like. Madden has nothing on this gem.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Huge Step Forward
NHL 08 is one of the best games of hockey I've played since NHL 94' on the SNES. The controls are tight, the graphics are crisp and clean, and the A.I. is amazingly life-like.

PROs:
Graphics
Physics Engine
No Speed Burst Button
Accurate Depiction of an NHL Game

CONs:
Difficult (even on lower levels)
Controls take some times to get use to
Still some soft goals get in (seems to be a glitch)
Body checking is sometimes a challange ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good and Bad.
This game has its Pros and Cons.


The Pros: Great Goalie mode!! Overall fun


The Cons: Your defense does not seem to have any interest in picking up the rebounds in front of your goalie. The offsides has its glitches, such as when you are infront of the blue line before a face-off, and you win the face-off, your teammates seem to be to anxious to get down the ice, and gets called offsides. Another really annoying glitch is when you dive in front of your goalie to block ... Read More
