Review: NHL ’11
Have you ever wanted to play a game that has won multiple sports game of the year awards, as well as improved every single year after release? The NHL video game franchise for EA Sports has done that. This year’s edition has everything you could ever ask for in a sports game and more. There are new leagues, such as the Canadian and American Hockey Leagues in the game, with more than 60 new teams, so you can play with teams other than the NHL. Newer features such as broken hockey sticks, a revamped face-off system and an improved graphics system have made this game unlike any other in the sports genre. You also can use a new game mode called “Be A Pro,” in which you can create your own hockey legend and put him on your favorite team, improving as you progress through the season. Featuring a brilliant, “old-school” soundtrack, as well as the smoothest controls a hockey game has to offer, this game will leave you on the edge of your seat.
