Game Overview

The top rated NHL franchise returns with a NHL experience featuring revolutionary right stick controls, all-new goaltending, a ground breaking face-off system, and stunning, next-gen visuals highlighting redesigned player models and animations. NHL 2K8 features true to life combo-based moves giving you the excitement from breakaways and shootouts. Superstar Moves are added with the help of NHL legend Igor Larionov rounding out the wide array of gameplay features.

The Good

Superstar moves are pretty cool-looking, Franchise mode is deeper than ever.

The Bad

Save for those few updates, this might as well be NHL 2K7, Frame rate is a choppy mess, Scoring is still overly reliant on the one-timer.

The Bottom Line

The 2008 version of the popular hockey series.

Expert Reviews

The Sony Playstation 2 version of NHL 2K8 does little to impress.

If you already own NHL 2K7, you've got this game and just need to update your rosters. If you don't have a 2K hockey game, go buy NHL 2K7 -- it's the same game and you can get it used for less than $10.
