What Parents Need to Know
About NHL 08
Parents need to know that, as in real life, this hockey game contains violence. You can hit other players. This game also helps teach kids about the sport of hockey and the NHL. The game has an online component, which Common Sense Media doesn't recommend for anyone under the age of 12.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the real NHL, its rivalries, and why the game of hockey isn't as popular with U.S. audiences as it was a decade ago. Is it because of the violence that is a part of the game? But is that violence any more than what happens in a professional football game? Did this game make you feel like a hockey player and does it make you want to play the game?
