NHL 2K9 does some good things. The controls have been fixed, it's fun, and there are some nice touches to the presentation. But the AI is very suspect and the emphasis on fun hurts the authenticity, which was once 2K's biggest selling point. Certainly there are merits to purchasing NHL 2K9, but there's no question it is inferior to its rival this year. If you prefer your hockey more streamlined and don't want to be forced to play a slower but truer form of the sport, then this is certainly worth picking up.

The difference between a good sports game and a great one is how well it feeds the beast. Is this an appetizer or a full-course meal?
