    nhl 2004 is really good (has great commentary) and its on all systems, but is probably cheaper on the gamecube

    Seconded!

    It's a great party game too, almost as good as Wayne Gretzky's NHL '92!!

    Aye NHL 2004 is probably the best but do not, and i repeat not get 2005 its very poor. espn NHL 2k5 is worth a look also and its only 30 quid

    the NHL hitz series is fantastic fun and can be picked up pretty cheaply on both ps2 and gamecube. Have the gamecube version myself and it's guaranteed to bring out the worst in your friends (in a good way :))

    Cheers lads, i had one of the nhl games on the ps1 back in the day and i was quite addicted to it, i remember in some of the older hockey games that fights can sumtimes break out, is this still happening in the newer nhl games?

    Nhl Hitz is the best at the moment


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,542 ✭✭✭kinkstr


    nhl 2004 and 2003 are on play.com for 28.99, 2k3 is 23.99(which looks very sweet)

    hmmmm, what would jesus do?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,719 ✭✭✭kaisersose77


    Has to be ESPN NHL 2005 (made by sega) for me, all the espn sports games seem to be better than their EA counterparts( and if i remember correctly EA solved this problem by buying the rights to use the espn name or maybe it was the rights to the NHL, anyways there wont be an espn nhl 2006 thanx to EA).

    if your interested ive a copy of 2k3 id sell it for €15

    I'd say go with ESPN NHL Hockey 2K5. It's better than it's Ea counter part and about half the price.

    ive decided on espn nhl 2k3 on the gamecube, its 23.99 on play.com, anyone here bought games off them before,anyone had problems with them, how long did it take to deliver?


  • Posts: 15,814 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Play are very reliable. I've never had a problem with them. It usuall takes 3-5 days for delivery and their customer care is top notch.

    Anyway, I remember when I was really young having this Ice Hockey game on the PC....It ran on a 486 PC, and the Ice Hockey itself was boring but it had these awesome (at the time) fight scenes!

    When you entered a fight, everyone crowded around you and then it was two rigid guys calmly throwing weak punches and girly kicks, with no recoil when hit or anything, but man we all loved it back in the day....

    I really should find out what its called....

    anyone know of a good baseball game?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,894 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    ok if you have xbox live then get espn nhl 2k4. if not then get 2k5. screw EA. these games blow EAs games out of the water.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,816 ✭✭✭Franky Boy


    I got nhl hitz pro cause I wanted just an average hockey game,it turned out to be really good!

    Best hockey games I played were the NHL series on the Megadrive, Mutant League hockey was pretty cool also. I believe the plug in FIFA game available in most toy shops also contains a version of NHL '95, sweet!
    I think there was a NBA Jam! style game in the arcades called hit the ice or something, by Midway, but I could be wrong.

    NHL Hitz Pro is class - so much fun taking players out and stuff and has a fairly involving build your own team sort of thing - the commentary is very funny too when you completely poleaxe an opponent. I have the xbox version - one of my favourite titles i've owned.
