NHL 06 NHL 06 is the best multiplayer hockey game to date (As of Nov. 21, 2006) I've played the new and improved (meh...) NHL 07 for Xbox 360 as well as the same and nothing has really changed NHL 07 for PS2, and I still find NHL 06 to be the best multi-player NHL hockey game. The new NHL 07 game for Xbox 360 is superb, the graphics are awesome, it has so many great features, etc, etc, etc... but it just doesn't satisfy my hunger for a fast paced, hard hitting hockey game. NHL 07 for the Xbox 360 is by far, a better game in almost all aspects except multiplayer. NHL 06 has satisfied hours upon hours of multiplayer madness between my friends and I. The only thing I'd change in NHL 06 is how good the goalies are, other than that NHL 06 delivers multiplayer hockey at it's best. If you disagree with me, get 4 friends together, make two teams, and play a 2 on 2 best of seven series. Trust me, you'll see what I'm talking about. Final Verdict: 4/5 Rent or Buy?: Even though NHL 07 is available, I still think that NHL 06 is better for multiplayer match-ups. The controls are simple and the gameplay is fast and hard hitting. And because NHL 07 is out, you can get a copy of this game for like $6.00. IF YOU FIND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE. Thank you.Read full review
A few months ago, hockey fans were delighted to hear that the players in the National Hockey League would be lacing up their skates and heading back onto the ice. The lockout that had already forced the NHL to cancel one season would not affect another, and the two sides agreed on some rule changes that (they hoped) would make the game more appealing to fans. When it was announced that the lockout was over, you can be sure that the video games publishers were some of the happiest people around. After all, how would they be able to drum up enthusiasm for their annual updates without a corresponding professional league? After playing EA's excellent NHL 06, we're as ready to start pounding the plexiglass and throwing octopi as the most diehard fans. One of the biggest qualms with the recent iterations of EA's NHL franchise was that it was becoming tougher and tougher to set up offensive plays due to the near constant and aggressive checking. Hell, it was hard to even skate the puck up the ice without having to deal with defenders slamming into you over and over. Now, you'll find that there is a lot more open ice, and while you won't be able to go coast to coast without running into some form of opposition, your foes won't begin checking you until you cross the redline. First time players might not notice the difference, but anyone who's played the series before will enjoy the new freedom of movement. Although that's certainly one of the game's biggest improvements, it's the new Skill Stick system that really sets the game apart. Basically, when you're controlling the league's star players, you can perform tricky moves when you're around the goal simply by flicking the right analog stick in a particular direction. When you do, the player will do something along the lines of kicking the puck to himself with his skate or flicking it at the goal between his legs. While it's a bit arcadey, it never looks too unrealistic, and it only works every so often. You have to remember, however, that only the game's biggest names (as indicated by the star icon under their bodies) can pull off these moves. If you try it with a lesser player, there's a good chance you'll lose control of the puck, wasting the scoring opportunity. Another big addition to the game is the ability to deke by flicking the left analog stick in a direction. While you can still use the deke button if you want, it's sometimes easier to just flick the stick. It actually makes the game feel a bit more fluid, and it reminds be a bit of the action in some of EA's popular Sega Genesis hockey games. If you can make it past the defenders, you'll be able to take a shot at the goal, although some impressively improved goaltending mechanics make scoring a bit tougher than it was last year. New animations lead to some spectacular saves, though there's a chance you might get frustrated when a prone goalie swats away your shot with his stick. You won't have anyone to blame but yourself for missed shots, however, thanks to the game's new shot aiming mechanic. When you draw back your stick to unleash a slapshot, you'll notice a small target appear in the net, and you can move it around using the left analog stick. Of course, you won't have a lot of time to aim since defenders will be doing everything they can to knock to down. Still, there's nothing more satisfying than blasting a shot through an unsuspecting goalie's five hole from 30 feet away.Read full review
