Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey '98 continues same fast-paced, arcade-style spin that made its predecessor a system standout. The sequel retains the same look and feel as the original while adding new features to give players more choices in managing their teams. Both arcade and simulation play styles are available, with the latter expanding the roster size from 11 to 17 athletes; incorporating both injuries and fatigue; and recording team and league leader statistics throughout the season. Customization options include seven camera angles, toggles for penalties and fights, two game speeds, adjustable period lengths, and five difficulty levels.
