In addition to some welcome gameplay tweaks and AI improvements by new developer Black Box, NHL 2004 also ships with a beefy new dynasty mode where Glen Sather or Bobby Clarke wannabes can micromanage their favorite teams for a full twenty seasons. There are a number of reasons for this, but the key ones are pretty compelling. NHL 2004 is a must-have game for rookie hockey fans and purists alike. With the series' latest chapter, I'm happy to report that the decision is a complete no-brainer. A number of factors weigh in here, not the least of which is just how much "stuff" EA has shoehorned into the new CD (updated rosters aside). Hockey-mad PC gamers face a tough decision each year - plunk down 40 bucks for the latest version of EA Sports' NHL or stick with last year's perfectly serviceable edition.
