The Great One christens Sony's portable platform with this special version of the first-party hockey series. Though it pays special attention on its title star, the game is licensed by the NHL and NHLPA to include all the athletes and teams who would have played in the 2004-2005 season. Unlockable players include different versions of Wayne Gretzky, as he skated through his illustrious career with the Edmonton Oilers, the Los Angeles Kings, and finally the New York Rangers. Practice, Exhibition, Single Game, Tournament, Franchise, and Rivalry modes are all available. Gamers can also create and customize their own NHL players and team.
