Hot on the skates of its Playstation predecessor, NHL '97 rockets onto the Saturn rink. Although the graphics don't shine as brightly as they did on the PlayStation, the game's addictive action will keep you lighting up sirens like Lindros.

The Video Game Critic
As you can imagine, his canned, generic comments provide no insight whatsoever, and it's not unusual for him to repeat the exact same "analysis" for two periods in a row. Chalk that up as another failed 32-bit video game experiment. NHL 97's single bright spot is its audio. Its crisp sound effects put those fuzzy Genesis noises to shame. Organ music plays during the action, and I love the techno music that plays over the menus. NHL 97 may be just another monkey in the evolution of hockey games, but I've played worse sports games on the Saturn.
