An alternative to EA's NHL series is finally here! The question is, is it any good? Find out what we thought in our Old Time Hockey Review!
Phil writes, "In the midst of the NHL playoffs, it seems like a perfect time to play some hockey... virtually. After all, who likes all that cold and skating. I never got down the latter. V7 Entertainment's Old Time Hockey seeks to bring back the retro styling that many old school gamers grew up with. While doing so, it lacks some necessary features and possesses some stiff controls to make for a hockey game that isn't quite the best game you can name."
Hockey set in the 1970's. A game where hard hits are encouraged. Along with hooks, slashing and of course fighting. Not many hockey video games that are made try going back in time. In fact it feels like hockey games today are up to date to the minute. V7 entertainment, a company based out of Vancouver, Have come out with a new indie hockey game called Old Time Hockey. This game not only takes you back to old time hockey. It kicks your ass and sends you back.
While, unpolished, Old Time Hockey offers a lot for fans looking for an experience outside of NHL.
