NHL 96

The even numbered one where you can't score

Genre: sports - hockey

Publisher: Elec Arts

Year: 1995

System: SNES

Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Looks like EA had two teams working on NHL games. This is the better engine. This one plays faster but to its detriment. Your player flies around the rink - very hard to control. Scoring is impossible.

Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

No roster management from 95. Not that I would've used that, mind you. Standard Exhibition and Season modes plus Practice.

Theme Score: 3

Theme Notes:

Good presentation. The loud menus are a bit much for me. I prefer the guy at the desk.

Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Great animation and artwork

Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Adds some voice samples. Extra jazzy menu music.

Overall Score: 64
