About the Game

Originally released in 1999 for the Playstation, Actua Ice Hockey 2 built upon its predecessor, sporting the same great staples of the Actua Sports series: fully 3d environments, multiple cameras, motion captured player movements, and world-class commentary.

Play in the fictional GHL (Gremlin Hockey League), at 3 speeds of play, from authentic to frantic. Manage your team, including trading players and changing tactics.

Select lines of play, change tactics on the fly, and experience bone-crunching injuries simulated in real-time, with innovative (at the time) full limb to limb collision detection.


This enhanced version introduces a number of modern features to this retro classic, including:

  • Saving/loading the game at any point
  • Support for most modern game controllers
  • Full control remapping
  • Image scaling and smoothing options
