NHL '94

Now with more loading


Genre: sports - hockey

Publisher: EA Sports

Year: 1993

System: Sega CD


Gameplay Score: 4

Gameplay Notes:

Plays exactly the same as the Genesis version, just with more logos and longer load times. Slippery gameplay but easier passing and checking. Fast paced gameplay as a result. Excellent framerate and overall faster movement. Fun as a multi-player game. Not NHL Hitz 20-02 fun, but pretty good as a party game. AI is smart and they even pull the goalie if they're down at the end.


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Same as 93 but with a shootout mode added.


Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Same as the Genesis version. More sound bits added.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Looks great. Excellent animation with no slowdown.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Rocking menu music. The in-game sounds are worse than the Genesis version. Fewer boos and cheers that react to what's happening on the rink. It's just a more realistic crowd noise.


Overall Score: 77

Review ID: 12084
