You started out like all the pros do: wobbly on the ice, playing three-on-three in the neighborhood rink. All that has changed now. You've trained and drilled until your blades dulled, and you've earned your spot on the NHL roster. Now the pressure is on: it's the championship game and the Stanley Cup is within your grasp. There's one minute to go and you hurl yourself toward the puck, feel it nestle against your stick and bolt into a breakaway. You hear the scraping of your opponents' blades close behind you. Your muscles tire but you hold your stick firmly in your hands. The goal is just feet away and the moment is yours for the taking: will you make the championship-winning Slapshot and become a hockey legend?
All of the realistic, exhilarating action is in your own two hands when you pick up the NHL Slapshot hockey stick accessory - skillfully deke, check and shoot with the stick and watch your moves translate into real-time action on your screen. When you control every move, it's up to you to make all of your hockey dreams come true. Start as a peewee and work your way up to play with all of your NHL heroes in a demanding career mode. Do you want to achieve the ultimate level of hockey greatness? Seize the opportunity to take the ice as "The Great One," Wayne Gretzky, and experience what it's like to be a living legend. Whether you're riveting your eyes to the prize or just shooting the net with friends in fun mini games, you'll never want to unlace your skates and step away from NHL Slapshot.

Very enjoyable,

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: NHL Slapshot Bundle (Video Game)
I find that most sport games are designed for gamers (as opposed to casual gamers such as myself). They have many control options and the learning curve is often quite steep. The focus is also often placed on a career mode, which requires several hours/days of gameplay to appreciate.NHL Slapshot caught my attention after I have read an article that mentioned that the game was designed for a younger audience (and also because I am a huge hockey fan). The controls are indeed much simpler than most hockey games I have played. Most commands can be made simply by waving the hockey stick (passing the puck would be an exception). I can also play with my 8-year old daughter on "pro" difficulty setting without any of us being overwhelmed by the other team. We like playing at the peewee or bantam level, since the team is composed of only 3 players and it is easier for us to control the gameplay. NHL Slapshot does provide a career mode, which I have not explored much to this date mostly because it does not appear to support multiplayer gameplay. All this to say that NHL Slapshot is a simpler arcade style hockey game, which makes it a perfect family or party game. Avid gamers looking for a hockey simulation game may be disappointed however.

This review is from: NHL Slapshot Bundle (Video Game)
This game is a lot of fun for all ages. Whether you're 6 or 46 doesn't matter. The game only comes with one stick so you'll need to get after-market sticks (roughly $10 and readily available) if you want to play with more than one player using the stick (as opposed to the Wii-mote).

Finally an EA Sports Hockey game for the Wii and it is everything that EA has been known for. Super fun, easy controls and good storyline. A game you will want to own, not rent.
