Editorial Review

Blades of Steel was one of the first hockey video games for Nintendo's classic NES game system. However, the series had pretty much been missing in action for 10 years prior to the debut of Blades of Steel 2000. Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't expect a decade-old sports game franchise to return seamlessly with a smash out-of-the-box hit--but the original Blades of Steel was such a classic that players everywhere had high hopes for the comeback.

The verdict? Unfortunately, we found Blades of Steel 2000 to be an unpolished attempt at a next-generation hockey game that could have used a lot more time in development. Graphics boast few frames of animation, and control is unwieldy, to say the least. On the bright side, managing rosters is made easy by simplified menus, and, of course, the game features all the NHL teams and a season mode.

But these features offer little consolation. Simply put, there are much better hockey games out there, including NHL 2000 and FaceOff 2000. Blades of Steel 2000 is only for players stuck in the past. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• All the NHL teams

Cons:

• Poor graphics and controls compared to other hockey video games.

This review is from: NHL Blades of Steel 2000 (Video Game)

this is the absolut worst game i have ever played in my entire life. the controls are terrible, and scoring is just pure luck because the puck doesn't go where you shoot it. i can't explain how crappy the graphics are. this game is so bad i want to kill myself for buying it (yes, it's that bad). do not ever buy this. if someone buys this for you, take it back and get the origional blades of steel for nintendo, it is a much better game.

It's a very very very slow game and the graphics are poor... I compare this game to NHL 92 (EA Sport) !
