I posted about this in the pre-e3 thread, but here's a demo of it from the showfloor it looks a lot better than I thought.

I bet it's going to sell millions. :rolleyes: If not, we'll bury it with ET.

If they mapped the controls so that deking and everything else would play out on screen as it should based on what direction the player is facing/speed/acceleration then they'd have a badass hockey game. The visuals are adequate. They could do it too, like zelda with the sword. They just have to match it with the ice-momentum that defines the nature of hockey. I haven't played any serious vg hockey since nhl 98. I have a feeling based on the gameplay shown that this is just another waggle waste.
