As a proud owner of the game NHL,99 I'd have to say its the best Ice Hockey game of its kind. In games i like to look for options, options, options and this game has em. You can chose from a range of tornaments ranging from a round robin to The Stanley cup.

Getting started this game has a unique aspect to it. There is a rookie game option where there are minimal rules and the computer basically stinks. With this option you get the hang of the game and the buttons. Once you think your to good for this option go to exhibition where you can decide who you and your oponent is. NHL,99 has all the NHL teams as well as a couple of International teams like Canada, USA and the Olympic Champions Czech Republic.

NHL,99 is a multiplayer game with 1-4 players. So you can nail up to 3 of your friends on the ice. NHL,99 has play commentry by real NHL commentator Bill Clemet who's sayings range from "he drills that one home, SCOOOORES and "Good night folks its all over!". And this games takes rumble pak so you can feel those hits! This game has brilliant sound the crowd noise is incredible with cheering and booing. and a couple of extras. Like a real NHL game it has catchy short tunes between each whistle and the crowd likes to assist the beat sometimes with a little banging of the boards.

There is also the create player option where you can write his name, last name, number, position, and even perferred shot aswell as a couple more aspects. along with this you can chose where he is skillful but chose wisely as there is only limited skill, unlike other stupid games where you have unlimited skill, i mean come on get real! And if you think you good enough try aiming your slap shot a little to the left of the net and try and brake the boards i've done it twice its pretty hard!

I recommend this game to anyone that likes a fast flowing hard hitting sports game.

ONLY by EA sports "its in the game"

This is one of the best N64 Sports games that EA Sports has ever done. I must admit that I adjust the rosters once trades/signings happen thanks to the GM options. The Stanley Cup celebration at the end of the Finals is pretty sweet too. The only problem is that Bill Clement guy. They could have, at least, gotten his comrade Gary Thorne and even Mike Emrick to take that spot. But, this game is excellent other than that point.

Hokey game is the most interesting game for me. I would like to get it soon as posible. The best will be for me to get game on Intendo 64.

OK, it's not nearly as good as the stunning PC version, but the N64 version far surpasses any other hockey game on the N64, so there isn't much choice. The only real concern is the dragging speed. The graphics are choppier than the pC verison, too, but overall, it's the most fun 4-player game (tied with 007) that I own for the N64.

As far as hockey games go for the N64 this is probably the best around, but it still leaves something to be desired. On anything except "All Star" level the game is pretty easy and scores can be very unrealistic. Also, it lacks the variety of sound effects that are in the PlayStation (and PC, I assume) versions. Granted, this is an issue with the N64 cartridge format, not the game.

NHL 99 is nintendo's best hockey game, but what does that say for nintendo? Well the PC NHL 99 has better grapics and controls. NHL 99 for nintendo is still a fun game for all hockey fans.

This game isn't bad, but it's nowhere near as good as the version for the PC. The graphics are nice, but the gameplay isn't that great. Navigating through the pre-game menus is an incredible chore. This is one of the first games I bought for the N64 and I was disappointed. If you have a PC with a gamepad, buy the PC version.

Definetely a great title. EA could have done better in a few areas, but it is an overall solid title. The gameplay is good, but a little bit of improvement really would have helped. Solid, but not 100%.

For all you hockey fans do NOT get this NHL game. For one, The graphics are unreal and it is too easy. You score 10 goals in two 5 minute qaurters! WARNING! DO NOT GET THIS GAME!!!...
