3 on 3 NHL Arcade Review

Call it what you want, but 3-on-3 NHL Arcade is EA's first attempt at bridging the gap that separates the fans and non-fans of hockey.

So, mission accomplished?

While 3-on-3 NHL Arcade is not a bad game -- it technically plays well and really is kind of fun -- it just does not have any lasting appeal.

Agree with the review here, though I'd actually drop it down to a 6.0

The gameplay is awesome, but the complete lack of content/options/modes kills it.

Add in the fact that there's no way to fill out teams with online friends (only local friends), and you've got a game that's pretty much worthless unless you frequently have people around to play with.

EA really missed an excellent opportunity with this one.

Heck, this game was so rushed that it doesn't even save your camera/control settings.

The review is pretty dead-on. I only play this with friends when they come over.

this is fair, the game is fun but mostly only with freinds. there are many things that could improve this game, and like mentioned the lack of game modes is really what kills this game that along with one timers never working ever

I downloaded the demo earlier. I had a lot of fun with it but I'm disappointed that that's as far as the teams go. I forgot how good an arcade NHL game could be.

Controls took a little getting used to, and I could only score when the goalie got small. I won't waste any money on it.
