8 Although the story requires understanding Japanese to fully enjoy, earning new uniforms that impact your stats and give you new abilities makes this a worthwhile hockey game that is better than most other 8-bit sports games. Controls needed early are simple however they allow you to learn a progressively more complex hockey game as you advance.
