This game is very good. (...)This game is not meant to be realistic, the players go on fire etc but it trades losing a bit of realism for enhancing the game into a very fast, furious and adrenaline rush filled game. I was worried how this would work at first but it enhances the quality greatly and not being restricted by modelling it on a real Ice Hockey game gives it the freedom to be in many ways outstanding.
Advantages
Great game play
Great effects-players on fire etc
Fighting and pushing people through the glass is fun
Good Graphics
Good commentary-Pro Evolution Soccer 3 takes note!!!
Good competition structure
Unlockables-Plenty of them and trying to achieve them adds to longevity of the game.
Fun- You can give your players crocodile heads, baby heads etc
Disadvantages
A little easy after a while-Once you get used to the game you can find yourself winning lots of consecutive matches on the easiest (and default level). They should have made the default level harder to make you really work for your victories as in the pro evolution soccer series.
Unlockables-To get some of the unlockables you have to do some things that you really can't be bothered to do which becomes a bit of a bore.
Overall-One of the best sports titles on the ps2. Pro Evolution Soccer 3 has the crown for now with Virtua Tennis 2 not far behind but this one is knocking on the door.
