Editorial Review: Product Description: The top rated NHL franchise returns with a NHL experience featuring revolutionary right stick controls, all-new goaltending, a ground breaking face-off system, and stunning, next-gen visuals highlighting redesigned player models and animations. NHL 2K8 features true to life combo-based moves giving you the excitement from breakaways and shootouts. Superstar Moves are added with the help of NHL legend Igor Larionov rounding out the wide array of gameplay features.

Goalies will now realistically come out and challenge, guard the posts, and perform spectacular butterfly saves. Bolstered by hundreds of new animations, these improvements make goaltenders in NHL 2K8 the most realistic yet.

 Rating:  - Seriously FlawedHad the same problem as the above reviewer, the game freezes in franchise mode. For me, the date was always November 28th. Additionally, the commentators during gameplay are horrible. This for me is usually not a big issue, because I NEVER consider this an integral part of the game.

I've played the NHL 08 demo and like some earlier version of the series I hate the control aspects. I rented 2K8, despite the lesser reviews compared to NHL 08. ...

I played both games and NHL 08 is easily the better hockey game this year by far. Get back to the drawing board 2K! |
