I’m not much into hockey games, but this free 3D Samsung Wave game focused on this sport is worth checking out for various reasons.

If you are looking for a fully-fledged game similar to those for PC and video game consoles, I hate to disappoint you, but this is not one. Think of penalty shoot-out and you’re getting close.

Hockey isn’t a major sport in my country, even though I had acquaintances who practised the non-ice version of the sport. It’s certainly an interesting one that requires a lot of technique and strength too, seeing that it can get pretty violent.

The developer here managed to include excellent 3D graphics and a very fast and responsive user interface that make the gameplay enjoyable.

What is really missing from the game is a true challenge, and that could be obtained if a full game version of hockey game is released. Although the 3D models and basic game logic is in place, there is still a lot of work to be done in what concerns to defence and attack logic, collision detection, and more.

The hockey Bada game can be downloaded for free from Samsung Apps.
