3 on 3 NHL Arcade is a simple and easy to play game. You really don't have to know anything about the game of hockey to be able to enjoy the game. After big hits, power-ups drop on the ice (for instance, super speed, faster shots or one that makes your opponents goalie tiny). It also features an easy to use control scheme. The online play is your usual 1-on-1 or you and your friends can play on the same side and face-off vs random people online. There are the options to play unranked games and ranked games and play a friend , just like in past "official" NHL games. Offline options are limited to a quick play option against the CPU, there is no season mode. On May 24, 2010, the game was moved into the Arcade Hits section of the Xbox Live Marketplace and its price was changed to 400 Microsoft Points.
