NHL Breakaway 98 was a very bland ice hockey game that paled in comparison to Wayne Gretzky – plenty of room for improvement, then.

The second game updated the roster and…that’s it. This makes no effort to improve upon the first, and so little has changed that you can even select the original roster in the menu.

Poor

There’s no other way to describe NHL Breakaway ’99 than with a shrug of the shoulders, a non-committal “hmm” and a general summary – again – that tells you to go for Wayne Gretzky’s 3D Hockey instead.

There are better sports games to focus on.
