Still, this isn t nearly enough to ruin the tremendous amount of entertainment that can be had in this game. The oversized players with buff muscles tearing wholes in their shirts, and the overweight goalies complete with stomachs hanging over their waistlines are all implemented to add to the humorous atmosphere of the game. Also, the players jaggedness are much more visible from this extended viewpoint. Graphics aside, the movements and animations themselves are gorgeous, every goalie save looks appropriately graceful. The checks are great and fun to watch, as is the players getting laid out on the ice.
Shabby graphics is a small price to pay for such a fun-packed experience.
The best presentation of an announcer yet seen in any video-game. The voice is perfect, the statements are witty and comical, and very rarely does the announcer misjudge a call. Sure, as with any in-game announcer, it gets old at some point, but that is near impossible to avoid, at least in this game it takes longer than most. The music is also right on for this game. They may not be that plentiful, or even the best songs, but they still compliment the game in every way that a song should.
