Coming off the heals of the award winning NHL 09 title, EA's NHL 10 lives up to expectations in most areas and gives hockey fans one of the most realistic hockey games ever. Read the full review to find out how EA Canada was able to pull this off.

When a new title has to follow its predecessor that won twelve Sports Game of the Year awards, expectations will always be high. NHL 10 is burdened with the task of besting last year’s title that brought a glut of innovation to the series. While it is a tough act to follow EA Sports has done just enough to NHL 10 to make NHL 09 fans feel right at home while giving them a new experience on the ice. With little tweaks to gameplay and some added new modes it’s easily a better game than its predecessor. Be wary, however — changes may have fans frustrated with how realistic the game has become.
