Description
Hit the ice with EA Sports' NHL 06 for the XBOX. This entry in the NHL series builds on the 2005 version by adding new rules and an up to date rooster that includes just about every big name in the National Hockey League. NHL 06 includes everything from NHL 05, including the revamped shooting controls. New to the 2006 version is the use of the left analog stick for deking, which in hockey terms means to dodge and fake out defenders. The right analog stick is used to pull off fancy moves like a spin or between the legs pass. These fancy moves will distract goalkeepers, giving the gamer an opening to shoot. The drawback to these moves is that only superstar characters can pull them off regularly. The game includes many of the traditional hockey game modes, including dynasty mode. In dynasty mode, gamers will control their own hockey team and have to deal with outside pressures, sponsors, and more while trying to meet the team philosophy, which is different for each team. Other modes include single season, leagues and tournaments, quick game, and online play. The graphics of NHL 06 are top notch. This time, they've been tweaked to accurately show character size differences. The defense players and goalkeepers, who are traditionally larger players, actually look larger, while the smaller and faster scorers are indeed a little thinner and smaller. This is just one small change that adds to the overall amazing gameplay of NHL 06.

Special Features
All-New Ea Sports Skill Stick Create highlight reel goals by executing the signature moves of an NHL All-Star.

    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 know nhl 05 wasn't a really good game, but this year ea really steped it up a notch, gameplay is finally up to par, still glitch's but i would rather play this game any day over nhl 2k6, graphics are above the top and the moves you can make with your players make this a real enjoyable game to play with hours of fun garantie, Me and my buddies can play for days without stopping. Addicting
