About

EA aims to light the lamp again with the '08 edition of its annual hockey game. In this edition for PC, EA has expanded its Skill Stick moves to completely cover every move and trick you pull on the ice -- flick the stick for precision shots, for quick dekes, for spot-on or leading passes, and even for brutal body checks! The Dynasty Mode features several improvements and new additions, including a weekly goals feature that allows you to improve your team quicker, a contract negotiation feedback screen for salary discussions, and a Fantasy Draft feature that lets you pick your roster.

    Bottom line—if you play online and like hockey, then NHL 08 has you covered. If you play offline and like hockey, then NHL 08 has you covered. I struggled to find an accurate score for this game. Critics from all over always seem to debate the score the most, and it doesn’t matter which game they’re a fan of. But to me, the score reflects how fun it is.

    Online play offers up some compelling online leagues with ranking systems in place as well as 3-on-3 gameplay. NHL 08 is a great entry to the NHL series, presenting some great new gameplay modes, vastly improved on-ice play, and some excellent graphics. A must-have for serious hockey fans.
