Didn't like it

By Alonso11 (sofacinema.co.uk) Read the full review

The first Hockey game i have played since 03 which i loved! This is probably the best hockey game in terms of proper simulation but i prefer the arcade feel of the older games and never really got into this But if you have time and patience im sure...

NHL 08 - PS3 review - Pocket-lint

By Chris Hall (pocket-lint.com)

NHL action for 2008

Sharp graphics, smooth movement, plenty of options

All in all, this is a very complete game with options to keep everyone happy. A great game, lots of fun, but a real time destroyer

NHL 08

By Tom Hoggins (dpadmagazine.com)

Ice hockey has always translated well to video games. Fast-paced, high scoring, a healthy dose of violence and all the razzamatazz typical of American sport. The perfect fodder for digital recreation, a combination of speed and skill that gamers...

NHL 08 offers up a few control tweaks and minimal updates to the dynasty mode, but that's about it.

NHL 08 (PlayStation 3)

By (cnet.com)

EA's NHL 07 redefined the hockey genre with one simple feature, the skill stick. Though the game had few modes and several artificial intelligence issues, its star play mechanic worked brilliantly, and created a great rebuilding point for the...

The AI has been thoroughly reworked, so it now looks and feels much, much more like the real-life sport. Throw in some balance improvements to the skill stick, a gaggle of new online modes, and an improved dynasty mode, and you've got an all-around...

NHL 08 Review

By CMUchips (stickskills.com)

Can NHL 08 return to greatness and give the 2K version a run for its money?

EA was on the mark when they made NHL 08. This game is easily one of the best sports titles of the year, creating a true-to-life simulation that is also fun to play. The multiplayer support for the game is great. The NHL series has reclaimed its throne as

Nice controls; Surprising amount of depth for a sports game; A big improvement from NHL 07

NHL 08

By Jeff Paramchuk (videogametalk.com)

This review will encompass three versions of EAs latest NHL game, creatively titled NHL 08. Having played through three versions of the title it's safe to say that the PS3 and 360 version of the title are near identical, so no comments will be made...

If you skipped out on the 2007 update to this game and are itching for new rosters, a better control scheme and some nasty looking new jerseys, EA’s title does satisfy all those requirements. Unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity to play 2k8 to...

NHL 08 Review for the PS3

By Greg_Damiano (gamerevolution.com)

Keeping It Simple, Stupid

Lots of training modes; Simplified shooting; Classy, sleek presentation

Still zero instruction; Over-simplistic; Limited play options

Last year, when NHL 07 and competitor NHL 2K7 first started to distinguish their control schemes from each other, I felt they played similarly but 2K Sports won with a longer feature list. This year, as 2K8 lags with its overcomplicated controls, EA...

NHL 08 is imperfect, but with its simple gameplay and its clean presentation, it's somehow on track to lead the league and push it forward.

Great game

I am a huge hockey fan and this game does not disappoint. There are a fair amount of game features that I have not investigated that seem pretty cool

No more button mashers

Although I'll give the game a good review I will say it is the least played title that I have. Not because it's a bad game it's just that the other th
