NHL 2K9 is now available in stores but I haven’t picked up a copy yet. I am really torn. Not to be insulting but I consider this game lower quality than NHL 09 which is coming out on Friday. There are two reasons why I haven’t decided yet if which one I’m going to get (and, no, it’s not an option to buy both).
The first is that times change, technology changes and I feel like I should give this game a shot. The second thing is that this game, unlike NHL 09, is available on the Nintendo Wii. I think it would be a lot of fun to play a hockey video game with the Wii remote/joystick. Here’s a commercial for the game on Wii:
Grrr… I can’t decide. Maybe I’ll rent one and buy the other. Of course, if my son had any say we’d get both but I think it’s a waste. Watch, I’m going to end up writing a post this week comparing the two, lol.
If you can’t buy both then I would suggest picking up NHL 09. It looks better, and they have come a hell of a long way since NHL 07, which was nowhere near as good as 2k7 in my opinion. 09 also has the “Be a pro” mode which is awesome and worth buy 09 just for that. I haven’t played 2k9 yet, but I thought that 2k8 wasn’t as good as 2k7 and the 2k franchise was the better franchise a few years ago, but haven’t really evolved enough for me on xbox 360 anyways, wii is a different story it’s probably a lot of fun.
