"I loved it. I have 2 controllers so my friends and I have a blast with the amazing product. Even without TCP\IP or the World Cup, I play it all the time. At times I felt like a spectator, drinking in the sights of a real game, without having to pay the airfare and ticket price to go to Europe for a game. At other times, I felt like a professional, feeling the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Way to go EA!"

"Hockey is a fast, furious, hard hitting and enthralling game fought on a rink much too small for twelve men to coexist comfortably together. With the exception of Ultimate Fighting, no sport is faster than hockey and thus properly simulating it can be a difficult task. NHL 99 takes this task, spits in its face, and shows you how hockey should be played (on a computer that is)."-Jove

"The game is tremendously fun to play and I would recommend it to anyone who is, or is not, a football fan. I am not a big fan of the Madden or NFL Gameday series for that matter but I absolutely love NFL Blitz PC. I look forward to seeing the sequel of this title very soon in the arcades. "-Da Hitman
