This was basically a reskin using the Wayne Gretzky's previous games base engine focusing on the national hockey teams that competed at the Nagano Winter Olympics in 1998.

It felt like a cheap and quick cash-in attempt on behalf of Midway. Content was straightforward with modes ranging from Arcade to the actual Olympic tournament and even going beyond with qualifiers if you were looking for more depth.

Since I borrowed this game, it was a good distraction for a few days and competed playing with Italy all the way from qualifiers to the actual tournament for an added challenge. I enjoyed the team's intros with the national anthems playing in a midi-like sound. Jerseys were terrible since they just slapped the country's flags on the front of the jerseys.
