Me and my college buds played this game practically everyday. Fun, fun, fun. 70 or so hits, oh yeah. It's got so-so graphics, I mean it's not Xbox 360, but it'll do for 64. It's got lots of options too, as many other people have pointed out. I'm not sure about realism, but you can certainly edit the settings to make the final score very realistic. If your looking for old school fun, this one should do you well.

If N64 games were a pool, then some little kid peed in it. This game is the chlorine for that pool, it cleans up. The game is fun as a solo player or with multiple people. You can manage your own franchise from top to bottom. You can hire coaches with names like Igor "The Glove" and "Speedy". You can recruit your own talent and nuture them through their tough years in the AHL. You can even create your own players like the one they call Radio because he had a slapshot you could hear but not see. Buy this game it's the closest you'll ever actually come to Lord Stanley's Cup.

IF YOU LOVE HOCKEY YOU WILL LOVE THIS GAME! THE PLAY ON THIS IS QUICK TO LEARN AND ALL THE OPTIONS ARE COOL LIKE CREATE A PLAYER, MANAGE TEAMS , OLYMPIC PLAYOFFS. THE ONLY DRAWBACK IS WHEN FIGHTING IS TO GET THE FIGHTERS CLOSER TOGETHER INSTEAD OF HITTING AIR. BUT THAT IS THE ONLY DRAWBACK AND ITS NOT THAT BAD SINCE YOU DONT FIGHT ALL THE TIME.. IF YOU ARE TO BUY A GAME THIS IS THE ONE ITS ALOT BETTER THAN THE GRETZKY GAMES OUT THERE NOW!

I bought NHL Breakaway 98 for the Nintendo 64 along with the far better NHL 99 as the first games when I bought my Nintendo 64. NHL Breakaway 98 has the worst gameplay among any hockey games I have ever played. The coaching and prospect parts are the only thing good about this horrible game.

This game rocks, the secret teams, the players, the goals and goalies, and everything! I've played a hockey game before--NHL Hitz 20-02--for PS2. This is THE game, not A game, THE game!

If you wanna play video game hockey, then chances are that you're very similar to me: You're weak, lazy, and generally out of shape, but with NHL Breakaway that doesn't matter. This game may not have the greatest control of any hockey game, but let's face it, nobody plays video game hockey for great "control" of players, they play to fight, break glass, and cause season ending injuries to their best friend's star players. NHL Breakaway lets lazy people like me do this from the comfort of my own couch. ... bottom line: if you want to create players named "Akbar Komani" and use them to injure Wayne Gretsky or Jeremy Roenick then this game is for you...if you want to play realistic hockey then buy a stick, some friends, and a rink and go play.

A pleasent surprise. I really wasn't expecting Acclaim's hockey game ot be this good. It is a solid rookie effort, but there are some flaws surrounding it. EA does not have a competing game this year, so this is the best choice. I like it, but a little more polish from Acclaim would have lead to a classic title, instead of just a good title.

Ditto. This is a horrible game. Being a hockey dufus, I too bought this game shortly after I bought the INFINITELY better nhl 99. I'f you love the coolest game on earth then this game isn't for you. I'd give 5 teeth just to be rid of the space this game takes up while it lays thankfully unplayed in a corner of my furnitureless apartment. Buy NHL 99. Yeah you may play in fantasy land scoring 15 goals in all but the highest difficulty level but you'll have fun doing it. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME
