CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Although we have some problems with this program's presentation, the fact that it costs nothing gives it a boost. According to the developer, WildLands Hockey puts polars bears and elks out on the ice and in front of the puck--but since the game gives the user a bird's-eye view of the rink and the tiny players, we can't tell what kind of creatures are actually playing hockey. The puck is equally small, so it can often be tough to maneuver your two players and accurately gauge shots. WildLands Hockey lets you play against the computer or you can square off against a friend or online opponent. The game allows you to reconfigure the key controls to your liking and turn off the rather mundane sound effects. Ordinarily, this game would receive a lower rating, but since it is freeware, we can be a bit more forgiving about its flaws. Nevertheless, WildLands Hockey is still probably best when played sparingly.Publisher's description

Version: WildLands Hockey 1.0
"Reminds me of the arcade game Hat Trick by Bally Games."
Pros: This is a very nice update / remake to the old classic Hat Trick arcade game by Bally/Sente. Its controls are a little on the loose side but the game plays nicely for the most part.
Cons: I dont understand why the game needed quicktime in order to play. Maybe they have updated the game to remove this requirement. But I do remembering it requiring it at one point or another.
