Great game, poor controls | | Super Gaijin from Charlottetown, PEI says (12/Dec/2003): | Not the actual controls involved with the game, just the lacking in Gamecube's controller as far as positioning and number of buttons available.
I found it a million times harder to play this game on Gamecube than on PS2. I've played both versions and the PS2 version is a lot better for controlling the game. The fact that the analog sticks on the Gamecube don't push in like XBox and PS controllers reduces your controls. The manual deke is all but lost in this game, unlike the PS2 version. The point of having the right analog stick control the deke was to then push in on that stick to shoot from the deke, simple, no? Then I played the Gamecube version and suddenly I was back at square one for the controls altogether. I found that there was too much missing from this version just based upon the control scheme to give it the 9 I wanted to give it.
It's a shame, though, since it is the best hockey game of all time. The only glitch that I found annoying was the way the CPU players would score against you in the difficult setting. They'd just shoot it on net and your goalie would stop it, but would have no control over the rebound. It would seem to just phase through them slowly and then fall into the net with no chance of stopping it. Other than that, it's a great game overall.
