NHL 06 (Xbox, 2005)

NHL 06

NHL 06 is the best multiplayer hockey game to date (As of Nov. 21, 2007)

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.

I've been playing the NHL EA Hockey series since it began on Genesis and this is by far the most fun to play. Definately worth owning. My only complaint is that it is way too easy to score. Head to head battles with friends definately make it worth the purchase.

I think that this game is very, very good. The gameplay is awesome, I haven't seen a glitch yet. You may be upset at the ratings for some of the players, since only the 1st liners ever seem to score. Overall, I have a very good time playing this game and its pretty cool. Once you get good enough, the difficult level becomes easy and the game can't really challenge you anymore which is kinda boring. In any case, I have a good time playing this game and I recommend it.

love the game. its real exciting to play and i love hockey. the seller got the game to me fast and at a fair price. the game looked brand new and i have yet to have a problem with the game

awesome nhl game feat. the tampa bay lighting on the cover this is a must have game for any nhl fan!

Like: Free For All Mode
Love: Dynasty Mode (You are GM)
Dislike: Could get a bit unrealistic
Reason of purchase: Could play with upto 4 players. Tried it before purchase also.

It is an all around fun game. I have been playing it every night since I have got it. There are lots of options, but honestly I don't take the time to figure it all out because I just like playing the game. I never really played sports games but this one is pretty fun!

I played at a friend's house and I really wanted it for myself. You can create players and make them fight. It looks real

This is a really great game to play. I am really enjoying the game play. There is not a lot of changes from the previous version, but if you enjoyed that one you will enjoy this one. Updated rosters and no "retro 1995 NHL" are amongst the biggest changes.

I love the game, shipped properly just slow. Besides that everything was great about the product, yes i know it was a long weekend but still not the fastest shipping i have seen.

I purchased this game for my 8 year old, and he is addicted to it. He only plays in standard game mode, and does not take advantage of the many features of league play. One of the best features is that the players and teams are authentic to the real NHL. He loves to play with his favorite superstar NHL players. I like the slow motion replay feature, just like watching on the Television. He just skips that part, but I like it. We can play together, or he plays against the "xbox". Another nice feature is the option of making a team "stronger" than another. This helps even the match for two players when one player has a lower skill level. I have to say that my son is better than me, so I get the advantage! So, for NHL lovers, this is a must for your xbox collection.

My son was very excited to get a great price on this game! We did not have any problems receiving this game.

I bought this game for my son. The transaction was smooth. The price was great. I came still wrapped new. I love to shop on ebay and will continue to buy.
