Up until my third attempt, I didn't even play this game. I installed it just fine and I configured it to use my gamepad the first two times, but when I got to the screen with ice on it I had no idea what was happening. Turns out all I had to do was hit "1" to start a one-player game, but there's no way to know that without reading the instruction booklet.
Yeah, I'm one of those stubborn men who generally doesn't read instructions, but really, shouldn't you be able to just throw a disk in and play? Williams is ready to ride into the ice-hockey rink, too. Open Ice is a console version of the action-packed two-on-two ice-hockey arcade game, which features all 26 NHL teams. Ice is basically Jam with sticks. You go two-on-two with a CPU-controlled goalie. Up to four players can get "hot" torch the net with blazing shots , check opponents, and make game-winning saves.
If Open Ice remains true to its arcade counterpart, expect tons of codes, including "big heads" and hidden characters. Tape up your sticks and sharpen your skates for some excellent NBA Jam action--hockey style! Open Ice comes correct with smokin' gameplay and an avalanche of features. Choose from all 26 teams and some of today's hottest stars, such as Jagr, Sakic, and Messier, then throw your weight around with hard checks and blistering slap shots.
As in the NBA Jam series, players perform incredibly raucous moves, such as somersault wristers, flash shots, and double degree spins. If you fill up the Hot meter through assists, goals, checks, and steals, you can set the net on fire with unlimited turbo power. Also included are Jam-style features such as Big Head mode, hidden players, and more. Open Ice shoots and scores at every level. The graphics jump right out of the arcade with only a few minor frames of animation left out.
The control is flawless, and the sharp sounds feature cool color commentary that never misses a beat by Chicago Black-hawks legendary announcer Pat Foley. If you love hockey and are fond of double-digit scoring and nonstop action, Open Ice is a definite must-buy. Also, we try to upload manuals and extra documentation when possible.

The action is quick and the game isn't very deep, so your mind just let's itself go. You can play the game with friends or just against the computer until you get bored, which probably won't be for a while. If you choose to enter your name, the computer will save all your game records such as wins, losses, ties and your winning percentage.
If you like arcade-style sports games and roughneck hockey, then this game is could be perfect for you. Like the arcade game, NHLOI features smooth animations, lots of power-up codes, special hidden characters, and many special modes such as "Big Head" and "Super-Goalie" that bear no resemblance to real-world hockey, but makes the game fun regardless.
