3 on 3 NHL Arcade is being developed by the same team that brought you NHL 09, winner of 10 sports game of the year awards. Arcade provides a complete package with online and offline play, as well as Power-ups, 40 NHL superstars, stat tracking, and leaderboards. As far as game modes are concerned, we have Play Now and Online Play. To give you a clear understanding of both of these let’s run through them:
* Play Now supports 3 v 3. This is great for local play with your friends, and is a great time.
* Online play is truly full — we have Play a Friend, Quick Ranked games that can support up to 3 v 3, and unranked games as well. Create and Custom game modes are also in the game, and allow the user to customize their online experience.
This was already released quite a while ago with Midway at the helm. Title of NHL Hitz. It was a crap-ton of fun for parties... too bad they changed it to NHL Hitz Pro and tried to be more 'real'.
I am actually excited for this. It wasnt even on my radar until I saw the trailer last night and it looks amazing. I havent played a hockey game in years, so it will be nice to get into it again in a more casual way.
