Use the Wii Remote™ controller as a stick and take the shot as you compete in three exciting Hockey Skills Challenges. In Head 2 Head, it’s just you versus the best goalies in the world in a five-puck shootout. Race against the clock to post the most goals in the fastest time. The three difficulty levels will place you against three increasingly talented goalies, each donning the jersey of their home country.

In two-player mode, each player will take a turn as shooter and as goalie, and the player who scores the most goals in five shots is the winner. In Sharp Shooter, you post a high score in one of three difficulty levels by breaking as many targets as you can. Each time a shot fails to break a target, an X will appear in the upper left corner. Three misses and the game is over. Power Shot has you take your best shot and watch the Shot-Speed Clock light up. You have three attempts to blast the fastest shot you can, and only the best speeds will grace the high score list.

Nevermind hitting the post, this "allstar" barely makes it onto the rink

It's easy to see why hockey fans will feverishly download Hockey Allstar Shootout. The only alternatives for Wii-toting rink rats are a half-baked port and a few crude NES classics that you had to play back in the day to appreciate now (Blades of Steel..

Wow, this looks like a really good game. I'll probably get it.

Call me when a real sports game comes out, then we'll talk. I really can't get excited just doing foul shots, I mean, i could just go to any site and I could find a flash game/advertisement that has the same premise. I'll wait for the review, but I doubt it'll change my mind. At least there's Blades of Steel...

If it has Wi-Fi and it is good I might change my mine about this unpromising game. Otherwise like Mickeymac said call this a foul play.

I'll get it if it's 500 points.

It certainly sounded pretty good - but after watching the trailer, I'm very disappointed.

This looks uninspired and bland. I'll play NHL '94 (which I'm terrible at) on my SNES any day over this. I'll wait for the review, but this looks bad.
