Hockey Nations 2011 Pro
Is It Any Good?
There are a number of hockey games for Apple's i-Devices, and HOCKEY NATIONS 2011 PRO offers many features not found in other games, such as head-to-head multiplayer options (over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth), lots of customization options (play as 18 international teams or edit team names and colors to create your own favorite NHL team), and seven different modes to choose from (Practice, Exhibition, World League, Go for Gold, Shootout, Playoff, and Multiplayer). The game also allows you to engage in fistfights against rival players, using gestures to punch or by using the device's accelerometer (motion sensor); this might interest some as it's not always found in mobile hockey games. The controls are now smoother with a recent game update, plus the 3D graphics and animations are impressive (including replays from different camera angles). Hockey Nations 2011 Pro might not be an officially licensed NHL game but proves to be a fun one with plenty of depth and breadth.
