All in all, I found Super Blood Hockey to be an entertaining title with a good amount of variety to check out. The only real knock I would mention is the fighting aspect. It just seemed to be a little too goofy — if that is even possible for this type of game. If you’re a serious EA NHL player who is looking for the real NHL hockey experience with beautiful graphics, this might not be the title for you. However, if you’re simply looking for a fun, entertaining hockey title in a dried up pool of options, this title is definitely worth checking out. Just bring a towel, there will be blood.
