Kidz Sports Ice Hockey
SCORE: 79
I absolutely adore finding bargain priced video games that are fun to play. Kidz Sports Ice Hockey came to my attention recently, and I was on top of contacting Bold Games about it. The best way to describe Kidz Sports Ice Hockey is Mario Soccer on the hockey rink played with children. In fact this may be the most family friendly hockey video game I have ever played in my twenty-five plus years of gaming. It is a good thing to see video game developers releasing brand new video games on the Wii for twenty bucks.
Kidz Sports Ice Hockey has some bright and colorful graphics. The one graphical confusion I have is the empty seats in the arenas. The faces of the characters are slightly above the Mii’s, and represent a wide array of diversity. The camera behaves the way it should in Kidz Sports Ice Hockey. The different teams included in this game have some character. A few more teams would have been appreciated, or a build your own team feature (maybe in a sequel).
The music is decent in Kidz Sports Ice Hockey, and the announcers are only present when someone scores. It can get old though after losing a game by the score of 35 to 32. I did not hear any offensive sounds while playing this game, but did find a humorous grammar error when Team B got the lead.
The length of each game is nice, and there are an average amount of options found within Kidz Sports Ice Hockey. There are not a lot of extras to keep people coming back, aside from playing kidz ice hockey. If the one gameplay issue does not bother you, then this game is worth the twenty bucks.
I had trouble figuring out a few of the controls, in fact I never won the puck when it was dropped. The charged up shot always scores, and that is what the game degenerated into for me. Once I got the puck, I would go to their side, charge the puck and score. Hence the high scores. I had some fun playing this one, but wish there was a little more variety in the game play.
I like what Bold Games is
doing, and Kidz Sports Ice Hockey is a fun little light hearted hockey
game. Sequels to this Wii video game are welcome here at Family Friendly
Gaming. Kidz Sports Ice Hockey is safe for the entire family.
