ESPN National Hockey Night
An NHL 94 challengerGenre: sports - hockey
Publisher: Sony Imagesoft
Year: 1994
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Not too shabby. Movement is slow but the arena is large so it's easy to set up a play on offense. Unfortunately the AI is bad. Opponents mostly stay away from you, at least on the beginner difficulty. Your teammates stand around and don't do much. Pass and shoot are quick. No long animations here. Passing works well. Extra button for a flip on offense and a poke on defense. Seem unnecessary.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
All the usual modes. A side or a vertical camera view. There's no crowd in vertical mode. Difficult levels and you can disable penalties and offsides.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
NHL license and ESPN (back when they were good).
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Very nice sprites, but minimal animation. Player models are bigger and more realistic than other hockey games. No background to speak of.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Some voice samples and ESPN menu music. In game is just static crowd noise.
Overall Score: 58
Review ID: 896
