The highly anticipated ice hockey video game allows players to experience the sport "the way it was meant to be played" with the old school arcade style vibe to boot.
"Old Time Hockey" will allow players to be aggressive in the rink so it is not just about hitting the puck into the opponent's net. Fistfights will also be part of the action.
In this game, players would know they are doing it right when they have blood on their jerseys and on the ice and missing teeth. That being said, it is no surprise "Old Time Hockey" gets an "M" rating.
V7 Entertainment teases that "Old Time Hockey" will have gamers experience Bush League hockey, where they can expect "70s afros, big moustaches, no helmets, dirty hits, bench-clearing brawls, goalie fights, stick fights, ref abuse and locker room language."
The Bush League teams featured in "Old Time Hockey" includes the Cascadia Timber Cats, Cobalt Silvers, Fort Edward Bluenosers, Charlestown Stonemasons, Quebec Voyous, Long Island Rumrunners, Moose Jaw Farmhands, Portage Lake Widowmakers, Warroad Ice Anglers and the Schuylkill Hinto Brews.
Another exciting feature to expect in "Old Time Hockey" is the beer mode, in which players hit the rink with the drink in one hand.
The game also includes a story mode, in which gamers take on the role of a struggling team in the Bush League. "Old Time Hockey" also offers co-op gameplay although there is no word if there is an online mode.
