NHL 2002: What Are You Laughing At?

by kjell1979 kjell1979 is a Lead on Epinions in Games, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 31 '03
Pros: great atmosphere, good on-ice action, cards
Cons: clunky graphics, few injuries, the color commentator, fighting, weak franchise mode
Do I Ever Play A New Game? I know. I should be reviewing the newer games out there like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Golden Sun 2 or even Final Fantasy Origins. However it takes a while to finish long RPGs like that especially when you're goin ...

EA Brings NHL Back To Good

by billservo , Jan 04 '02
Pros: Improved framerate, graphics, AI, DTS sound, Create Player, and cards.
Cons: Minor AI holes.

Last year's NHL installment was the first on a next-gen system. While that fact alone made it palatable for most gamers, NHL 2001 wasn't the best sports game in town, although it remained the PS2's best hockey game for that year. Compared to PS2...

NHL 2002

by panicroom , May 30 '02
Pros: gameplay
Cons: some fakeout controls difficult
Be The Hero. Skating down the ice. One man to beat. Do you deke or spin? You Faked Him Out. One On One. You And The Goalie. All that stands in your way is the goalie. Where do you shoot? Upper left? Lower Right? Or, do you fake him out and slide in a...

NHL 2002: Action, Fighting, Control, Sex, HOCKEY!

by pavona21 , Jan 29 '02
Pros: Realistic Gameplay, Great Graphics, New Franchise Mode
Cons: Franchise Mode Is Still Very Limited
Friends, It's Been Far Too Long
My good lord, it's been an entire week since I last wrote here on Epinions.(Excluding last night’s W/O) Such a large break hadn't been seen since the great ATT@home crash of December, where I took a whole 11...

NHL 2002: Does the puck stop here?

by offspringer , Sep 27 '01
Pros: Fast gameplay; no slowdown like NHL 2001; NHL Cards increase single-player experience; better AI
Cons: Frame rate choppier than NHL 2001; funny commentary doesn't always fit
After NHL 2001, many gamers wondered what EA Sports could do for an encore. Aside from cleaning up some ugly slowdown at center ice and toughening up the tame computer opponent, there didn't seem to be a lot that EA could do to spice up an already...

An honest review...

by PimpOil , Sep 30 '01
Pros: Much slicker than NHL 2001, franchise mode too.
Cons: Player models nowhere near as great as Madden series ones.
The easiest way for me to review this game is to somewhat compare it to the Madden series (specifically Madden 2001). The reason I do this is that Madden games have always been great while NBA Live and NHL games were nowhere near as impressive. And any...

You can't go wrong with NHL 2002!

by express15_99 , Oct 06 '01
Pros: More options than ever; Sleek Graphics; Franchise Mode.
Cons: Commentating not very spectacular.
EA has made the best sports games, and this is just another example. Great graphics, tons of features, and no slowdown makes this one a surefire hit. I love it because it keeps your energy level high, and doesn't let go of you. The last hockey game I...

Hockey Excitement

by JFrink26 , Apr 13 '02
Pros: Good graphics, sound and commentary. Fun to play.
Cons: Quick fights. Weak formations.
Okay hockey fans: what do you do when your favorite game isn’t on TV? Well, you pick up your video game controllers and fire up your copy of NHL 2002, Electronic Arts’ latest version of it’s hit hockey series. For the PS2, NHL looks better then ever and...

More great hockey (For Playstation 2)

by LiQiCE , Sep 30 '01
Pros: Same great gameplay; good AI; 60FPS smooth play; DTS Interactive sound!
Cons: Graphically inferior to PC version; outdated rosters; horrible color commentary; useless "extras"
*** Note: This review mirrors my review of NHL 2002 for the PC except for minor issues unique to the PC version. ***

I've purchased every EA Sports NHL game since it was first released for Super Nintendo in 1993. Every year EA somehow manages...

Not for everyone...

by sirtayls , Dec 02 '01
Pros: graphics, create a player, s
Cons: franchise mode (yes, its a CON) arcade feel
I went out and purchased NHL 2002 before I even rented it (a first for me) based soley on the strong reviews.

Let me start by saying there are two types of hockey games and players : arcade and simulation. Arcade style has more special...

Best of the Best, EASports Does it Again!

by sportsweek , Nov 02 '01
Pros: The definitive NHL video game!
Cons: Hard to score.
What a wonderful time of year. Baseball finally gets good and Football, Basketball, and Hockey are all getting into full swing. A true sports fan loves the fall like no other time of year. Like an annual ritual I buy 3 video games each fall from...

Way better than last year's game, but not perfect yet.

by deepthroat101 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 24 '02
Pros: Franchise mode, NHL Cards, Create-A-Face, no slowdown, good commentary.
Cons: Some limited options, no Create-A-Team feature this year.
NHL 2002 is the new benchmark for hockey games. It's fun, it's deep, it's got features up the wazoo, and best of all, it lasts long.

The gameplay has been upped significantly since last year, framerate hiccups are gone, horrible A.I. is out,...

NHL finally equals Madden.

by fwinkle666 , Oct 04 '01
Pros: No slowdown, NHL cards, it's got Mario Lemieux, outstanding multiplayer play.
Cons: No create-a-team feature, horrendous commentary.
If last year's version is any indication what EA Sports can achieve with new, next generation hardware, then I knew, like many others, that there was much room for improvement. And finally the hockey Gods have blessed us with a truly great game that's...

NHL 2002

by johnnathan30 , Apr 12 '02
Pros: very exciting, many different playing levels
Cons: the announcers are VERY annoying, and only two players can play
NHL 2002 is a great game for every member of the family. I am not even a hockey player, or fan of hockey, but I often find myself playing it for a while. There are many different things you can do with this game. First of all, you can play the regular...
