NHLPA Hockey '93
Plays better than the SNES versionGenre: sports - hockey
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Year: 1992
System: Genesis
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
Very slow movement, but great framerate, especially when compared with the SNES version. I know it's hockey but the slippery movement is a major turnoff. Can't these guys make even slightly sharper turns? B passes and C shoots. On defense B selects the nearest defender and C checks, but it only works 5% of the time. It's nearly impossible to dispossess the pick and if you do you accidentally shoot the pick because you're mashing C. Really hard to score. I know that's hockey for you, but it's not terribly fun. No idea how to set up a scoring play. I like that you can turn off penalties for an arcade feel.
Level Design Score: 3
Level Design Notes:
Regular Season, Playoffs, and Best of 7 modes. Nothing beyond that tho. Includes an Instant Replay which is welcome after scoring one of the few goals.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
NHLPA but no NHL license. Minimal presentation. Feels kind of hollow for an EA game
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Grainy graphics and blocky, hunched player models. Really nice framerate
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Meh it's alright I suppose. Pretty boring sounds play in-game. Dorky menu music.
Overall Score: 48
