On the ice

What's inside

• A stick held like a real one. Both hands on the shaft, top hand on the butt end, blade flat on the ice. Roll your wrists and the blade rolls with them.
• Left or right, no menu. The game reads how you are actually holding it instead of asking you to pick a handedness.
• Regulation pucks with real physics. They slide, they rebound off the boards, and they go in off the post.
• Solid nets that know. Goal detection, a lamp behind the net and a working count on all four faces of the centre-hung board.
• A full sheet. 60 × 26 m of regulation ice with real markings. Hold the right trigger to dig in and skate faster.
• A packed house. 2,700 in the stands, benches, penalty boxes, and a crowd that comes up when you score.
• Your soundtrack. Two music tracks or none at all, switched from the pause menu mid-game.
• Never hunting for a puck. One button drops a fresh one right in front of you, and the stick snaps back to your hands any time.
