Get maximum winter-sports action with this special PlayStation2 game pack, which includes the new PlayStation2 console (with controller), a bonus Dual Shock 2 controller, a PS2 vertical stand, and three games (Madden NFL 2001, SSX: Snowboard Supercross, and NHL 2001). At the heart of the PlayStation2 is the 128-bit Emotion Engine processor, which bringslightning-fast gameplay and unprecedented graphics power to your TV screen. We've packed in three AAA sports titles to get things started.
EA Sports' Madden NFL 2001 fully utilizes the PlayStation2's advanced hardware with ultrarealistic rushing, passing, blocking, and tackling. You can play the built-in AFC and NFC lineups, or even create your own player. The graphics power of the PlayStation2 brings a new level of detail to the game. As play progresses, you'll see the field start to collect scars from some of the rougher tackles, and the players will show some wear of their own, too.
If you can pull yourself away from the football game, there's also SSX: Snowboard Supercross. Game critics are raving about this fast-action winter title, which includes unconventional racing environments and a wide variety of boarders.
The game pack also includes NHL 2001. This game boasts all of the NHL's traditional and expansion teams, as well as 20 additional international teams. The motion-capture moves, high-end offensive and defensive artificial intelligence, customizable options, and jaw-dropping graphics combine to make this game a must-have for any hockey fan.
To help you go head-to-head with your opponents, this bundle also includes a bonus Dual Shock 2 controller. Also, we've included the official PS2 vertical stand, which turns your machine into a tower of sleek gaming power.

Well worth the waitWell, I waited just like everyone else, and finally got one. On top of this I ordered Nascar 2k1. After doing nothing but playing the 3 games that came along with this (Madden, NHL, SSX), I'd have to say I really am throughly enjoying this system more than my Sega. I love my Dreamcast, don't get me wrong, but you can notice subtle differences between the two which make Sony just barely edge out the Dreamcast in my eyes. You can really tell that the game creators are really putting effort into pushing the PSX2 to it's limits right off, which is a VERY nice change compared to PSX1. There are tons of options, marked increase in graphical capability and I personally like the dual shock control over the dreamcast's rumble pack. I'm very glad I waited my time to get this system. The 500 beans are well worth it.
I waited...and waited...and finally got lucky!All right - I admit I am a little old for video games - But this one is wild. The graphics are tremendous, the sound potential is awesome and I'm hooked on SSX Snowboard Racing. The Madden Football 2001 Game is a bit intimidating, the NHLII is the coolest game (sic) and backward compatibility means garage sale, and close out games galore. I picked up a couple of classics for under 10 bucks from the local retailer. My younger friends and family can hardly wait to challenge me but I'm practicing up so I don't disgrace myself - the controlers are faitly intuitive and if I were to make a constructive criticism would be to either make the system unit heavier (so it doesn't slide around in the horizontal position when you are trying to reboot the system) or put more tenacious rubber feet on the thing so it doesn't slide around. I look forward to internet shared gaming via cable modem - Welcome to the new millenium!
Great game console - Poor DVD playerThe video game graphics are amazing!! Totally awesome!! Used to get headaches after awhile when I would play Playstation games, but since I've got the Playstation 2 I can literally play for hours and still feel great afterwards!!
As a DVD player though, it's not very good, I went out a purchased between 30 and 40 DVD's within the first month of getting the console and I would say about 20 of the DVD's would freeze a few times or the PS2 would stop and say "unable to read disc." I would check the DVD out by playing it in the DVD player in my personal computer and it played fine. So I wouldn't recommend taking the DVD's back to the store if it doesn't play on your PS2, it's most likely the PS2.

Amazing that a '98 game can still hold up to a '00 game!This has been a great and overall stable PC Hockey game. I can't remember the first time I played it (since this review was writen April 16th 2001!). I felt it was my duty to review it, however, by todays standards, I doubt if you'll be able to find a copy. The graphics are funny, but pardonable by 1998 standards, the checking is outragous, the amount of shots on goals is way too much, but the one denominator that makes this games gameplay superior in my opinion is the strength of the goalie! True, you can belt the goalie from every angle 50 times and not score a goal, unrealistic, but its the only thing that saves this game from falling into the catagory that NHL 2001 fell into. EA Sports decided that the goalie was too hard to beat in NHL 99 so they lowered the skill of the goalies and raised that of the offensive players in titles such as NHL 2001 and 2002. This created a large lopside and now we have another problem (with todays EA Sports hockey games). Too many goals!
Yup, I still play my NHL 99 game alot. Its great! True, the shots to goal ratio is 70-40 some games, but thats really the only problem. After buying NHL 2001, I've gone back to playing NHL 99 several times because, in many ways, its more fun to play.
Enough said, thank you for reading my review.

Great gameThis is one of the best games that I own. The graphics are great, the fights are great (and last a long time for more action!), the checks are big, he commentators are good, and the physics are realistic. I love this game, and recommend that you buy it. There are only a few minor glitches, like the commentator sometimes mixes up the scores for the teams, but nothing to significant. Buy it!
awesomeThis game truly rocks. I enjoy the earth-shaking checks and player animations. Regular seasons on '99 are challenging to new comers;one tip to make a season easier is make your own team, like I did. Besides the infrequent frame jumping and inability for Internet play, a true value for the hockey enthusiast.

Save money right here!No need to spend [money] on a Sony Licensed Memory Card. This one works just fine, hasn't failed me yet.
Excellent quality for your money!I bought this memory card for it's bargain value, and it's the best buy I made so far! I've had it for some months now and never had a problem. As soon as they are back in stock I plan to buy another.
Cool memory card!Well, it's basically the same exact Playstation card as the regular ones, but with a hockey mask on it. I gave it five stars because I have had no trouble with saves erasing. The hockey mask is really just a small bonus.

Hockey's Dream GameThis game has a season mode where you can play any game for every team and keep season stats with season ending awards.NHL93,94,96,97,98 don't have this option, plus highlights of all the games with a brief description of player of the that game.NHL95 is the BEST hockey game for the sega genesis.
This is classic.Seven years after this is released, I am still finding opportunities to praise it. There has never been a better hockey game, excluding EA's new stuff on PS2. The graphics and gameplay are great, and this is the ultimate hockey experience.
Best Damn Game EVERThis is the best hockey game ever. I would much rather play this than ps2. There is soo much you can do. Create player, shootout season, and practice mode. You can save user records. They throw hats on the ice for hat tricks. WHAT else do you want. This game is just too good

The best game boy hockeyI only owned and played this game for two days, but it was a GOOD two days, since playing this game was all I did day and night.
Sure, there are no familiar players, or team personalities, or commentary, but the gameplay is what shines here. You get solid control, varied difficulty, and an AI that doesn't cheat.
The fighting is a wee bit [boring], but that's OK. This game can't hold a candle to the best hockey games on the PC today, but who said anything about being on a PC? If you want hockey you can take anywhere, this IS the game.
IF YOU OWN A GBC, AND LIKE HOCKEY, BUY THIS GAME!This is probably the best hockey game for the Gameboy Color. It definitely beats out the other hockey games like EA Sports' NHL 2K. The graphics are pretty good, considering the system it is being played on, and the game play is excellent. It will take me a long time to get bored of this game.

Good value.It might not look very good, but this is a solid memory card. It never lost any of my saves, and it is an excellent value. I feel that this is better than Nintendo's regular card, so go forth and buy if you need an inexpensive memory card.

A great gamer for 98NHL Faceoff 98 is a great game. Graphics not sure about. I'll say its okay. Commentators only say who scored the goal and 1 minute remaining for periods. Set up your roster and create players. I own the game and play it once in a while but it is great. If you like to check people this game is okay for checking opponents. Sometimes you can even hit people into the stands. I recommend this to hockey lovers.

Best Game EverI played this game at a Summer Camp. It is great fun because you can do special shots. It is big but you can put it anywhere because its height is very little. I love Nok Hockey. I recommend it for ages 6 through 100.

989 sports rulesthis is absoluty the best hockey game i ever played!the only thing i dont like about this, is when a player gets a hat trick there would not be hats on the ice.and it wouldnt be too much to ask for some music after the home team scores.but other than that the game is great.
AN AWESOME GAMEThis is one of the best games I've ever played.I got this game to play just until I got NHL 2001.I'm not so sure I want to get it anymore.Right when I started to play I knew this game was awesome!!Great graphics and the levels of difficulty are really good.What's really good is being able to choose your own jersey.Some people who have NHL 2001 might think it's pretty stupid,but if you ask me it's a really good game.
BUY IT!It is the best hocky game I've ever played! One of my favorite features is the create a player because you can give him your own stats. The stats all start at 40 and you have around 400 points to use. You can trade him to different teams. But sometimes the rosters are full so you have to trade him to a different team then trade him to yours. The only bad thing is that the teams will only accept a player that is equal or better to that player.The graphics are good and you can choose different camera angles. You can also turn on and off penalties. Over all it is a very good game.

You'll have so much fun you could find out that you've been playing for an hour.
