Customer Reviews

Constantly Crashes Our Wii
We bought this game with several others at Christmastime along with a brand new Wii console (so everything is new, nothing is old, everything should work, right?). Our son loves this game, but it randomly freezes our Wii system. There is a buzzing noise that travels through the TV speakers, and sometimes the game screen freezes or it just goes black. The only way to un-freeze the Wii is to unplug it (even the power button on the Wi won't work).

Apparently, from looking at other reviews, this is a problem with this game. Since it was the most expensive one we bought, it's extra-frustrating that it's the only one that we have had a problem with.

If the game did not freeze (and it does, with absolutely no rhyme or reason-we can play it for days with no problems, and then, suddenly, it's crashing 3-4 times in a day), we would give this a 5+ stars rating.

NHL 2K9 Wii
Great game for the game play but terrible to view any words on the screen. Very hard to read and so it makes it difficult to navigate screens sometimes. The games sometimes pauses and acts like it is going to lock up. Great game but could stand for some improvements.

NHL 2K9
Excellent game. Many options to choose from and lots of fun! A must for sports fans!
