ESPN NHL Hockey
ESPN NHL Hockey
ESPN NHL Hockey, développé par Visual Concepts et édité par Sega, est sorti le 9 septembre 2003 sur PlayStation 2 et Xbox. Ce jeu de sport propose une expérience de hockey mettant en avant la rudesse, la technique et l'intensité des rencontres, avec la possibilité d'affronter n'importe qui, à tout moment et en tout lieu, dans des duels pour la possession de la rondelle et la gloire du but marqué. La presse a salué la qualité du commentaire play-by-play assuré par Gary Throne et Bill Clement d'ESPN, tandis que certains joueurs regrettent l'absence de possibilité d'utiliser des effectifs téléchargés en ligne.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The true star of the ESPN NHL Hockey is the play-by-play commentary. Courtesy of ESPN's Gary Throne and Bill Clement, this is some of the best commentary I've ever heard in a hockey game. [Jan 2004, p.80] »
« The game is outstanding, but I would possibly add the possibility of using downloaded rosters online. »
« The most significant difference in this latest Sega hockey game is the graphics, really the only weak point in the last edition. Where once clunky uninspired graphics were the norm, now, well-rendered motion capture and realistic athletes put the final polish on an over-the-top game that excels in its field. »
« The best Hockey game I have played so far. I love hockey and ESPN gave me the feel of what has been missing in past hockey games. The feeling of total control and not having the computer interfere with the game. »
« The complete package - awesome graphics, stellar control, and meticulous realism. »
« All the great things from last year's NHL 2K3 are back and better than ever. Even more bells and whistles have been added, the least of which is the addition of the ESPN name which goes much deeper than just the name itself. »
« The finest hockey video game we've ever played...The graphics have been refined, the gameplay has been considerably tightened, the already great control has been made better, and there are several new modes to keep everyone quite happy. »
« With the new modes of play, and astonishing online play, it will be nearly impossible for any other franchise this year to touch Sega’s masterpiece. »
