****************************************************************************

Opening Snide Remarks: The reviews I saw were good, so I wanted to try it 
out. Let's see if it's as good as the Nintendo homepage said it was.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: A pretty good game. Lots of choices. You can practice 
penalty shoot-outs and fights. Do a regual exhabition (or however you spell 
that) game. Do 2 types of season: a Random Season and a NHL Season (don't ask
me what the difference is coz I got no idea!) In Random Season you can delete
a player from you team and make a new player.

Liked: All of the choices.
Hated: You have to delete a player to create a player.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Great graphics! All of the players look pretty much the
same though except for their uniforms.

Liked: Pretty crisp graphics.
Hated: Nothing really.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: Good sound effects, but the same song plays through
out the whole game.

Liked: A pretty cool song...
Hated: ...but it keeps repeating.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Good control. Some players go slower than others, 
but it's supposed to be that way. It's the different speed of the players. 
But it gets annoying coz when you run into somebody you both fall over. And 
when the opponent has the puck near your net, you have to control the 
defender and the goalie at the same time.

Liked: Good response to your control.
Hated: Running into somebody does the same thing as pressing B to check them.
Goalie should be automatic, or you should have to do something to be
able to control your goalie.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Goalie should be automatic. Don't have to delete a player to make a 
player.

RIYL: It seems to be one of the only GameBoy hockey games out there, so I 
would recommend it if you like hockey. It's a good game.

****************************************************************************

Final Words: I don't really have anything left to say. If you like hockey, 
get it. If you don't, don't get it.
