One of the best things about NHL 2001 is the amount of control you have. You can customize just about every setting, including how fast the puck moves and how quickly a player gets up after being checked by an opponent. The game also allows for player trades, fantasy draft and creating players. The graphics and sounds are up to the challenge.
Instant replays pop up during the game after a penalty or a goal.
Game play is simple enough for those who don't know hockey. A seasoned gamer might want to turn up the skill level a bit. With the gorgeous graphics and solid game play, this is definitely the best hockey game on the market. Rated for all ages. The spring tournament that leads to the Final Four.
