Game Classification

Hockey Nations 2010 is an ice hockey game where the player gets to take control of 14 different national hockey teams. The game is controlled with the touch screen. The player uses a virtual d-pad for moving his players and has three buttons for further actions. When in possession of the puck these are used for sprinting, shooting and passing while when the opponents have the puck they are used for sprinting, poke checking and body checking. When shooting, an accuracy bar appears. For an accurate shot the player needs to release the button before the bar turns red. On the Android version it is also possible to use the phone's keyboard for these actions. The player also gets direct control of the face-offs. To win possession of the puck the player has to tap it as soon as it appears on the ice.

The game features both play now and tournament modes. The play now modes includes exhibition (a one-off game), practice (playing freely with just one team) and shoot out (penalties). There are two tournaments: The Go For Gold mode where the player competes in his own world tournament (three groups with four teams in each followed by a play-off) and the World League mode which consists of all teams in one big league.
