Wayne Gretzky Hockey 2 is a 1990 ice hockey-themed sports game from Bethesda Softworks.
[3] PC Joker rated the game 77 of 100, stating "Of course, the good Wayne remains unchallenged on the first place in the table because, in terms of graphics, sound, handling (mouse, joy, buttons) and realism, none of the competitors can still outdo him.
But a simple update would have achieved the same thing at half the price"[6] German magazine Aktueller Software Markt rated the game an 8.8 of 12 stating "Of course, the question arises: Is it worth it for owners of WGH to loosen up another 90 Marker to get WGH II?
I do not think so, because the real strengths of the program, lie in the action on the ice.
Those who do not yet call the precursor their own, however, should buy WGH II, because the new features provide additional variety and long-term motivation"[4] The game was nominated by members of the Software Publishers Association as the best new sports program of 1990.
