Customer Reviews for NHL 08 - PlayStation 2

SynopsisYou are an up-and-coming player hoping to become the next big superstar. As you take the ice, the crowd roars and your opponents charge, but your only focus is on putting the puck in the net. With amazing control, you deke, turn and dodge past massive rivals in pursuit of the game-winning goal, narrowly missing a punishing hit into the boards. You speed toward the goalie and deliver the shot that makes you a legend. Carve out your place in history with the power, speed and finesse that puts you a cut above the rest. The intense on-the-ice action of NHL 08 takes the legendary NHL hockey series to new heights. The Skill Stick now provides even more control of the puck — own any one-on-one matchup and baffle defenseman with your precise skills. The all-new Skating Engine supplies analog speed control for awesome crossovers, tight turns and immense bursts of speed. You'll have to overcome a crafty Artificial Intelligence that adjusts to your moves on offense and defense, forcing you to make the necessary adjustments in order to stay ahead. Use the Practice mode to improve your team, and train them to run custom rush and in-zone plays in-game. With dazzling graphics and innovative gameplay features, NHL 08 lets you show off your power, precision and passion.
