NHL 2K7 (Xbox 360, 2006)

I like hockey.

No, I really like hockey.

It's a little scary. Especially when the rinks aren't flooded, and I don't get to skate. That's when I have to sit down and play vicariously through a bunch of little pixelated representations of my favorite NHL players. Luckily, NHL 2k7 is a heck of a game, packed with great Old-Time Hockey unlockables, and driven by an intuitive control scheme.

I've played pretty much every hockey game on every console system and arcade machine since the dawn of Blades of Steel, and I assure you that NHL 2k7 is among the top titles ever released. The graphics are nice, with lovely ice (something many titles have screwed up) that reflects the lights and shines with tones of blue, gray, and black underneath. The skaters look nice and move well, though there have been some complaints about their close-ups during cut-scenes (also the crowd looks a bit zombie-like, but who cares, I say!).

What really matters is the gameplay and the online play. The game play in this edition is near perfect. The only legitimate beefs I've heard is that one-timers are overbalanced, allowing for the inevitable "scoring tricks" that have plagued every game since NHL '93 on the Sega Genesis. Related to this is the fact that it is extremely difficult to score with a slapshot from the blue, or even a wrister from the hashmarks, unless the opposing goalie has allowed a weird rebound. Wrap-around goals seem about right, being moderatly easy with a fast skater (especially if you get the goalie screened properly), and pretty darn tough for a slower guy.

Online play is where 2k7 kills the competition (specifically NHL '07 by EA Sports). Games, tournaments, entire seasons can be played online, with an easy to navigate online menu where you can find leaderboards, news, and game updates (so far, they've provided four NHL roster updates as the season progresses).

My verdict: this game has its flaws - I've yet to play a perfect (or even truly innovative) hockey title, though this one comes closest in a while - but of the hockey games released in the last few years, this one is by far the best choice.

Go Wild!

THE FIRST THING THAT KINDA IRRATES ME IS THE FACT IT LOOKS LIKE LAST YEARS GAME. IT DOES HAVE MORE ADDITIONS THAN THE EA VERSION. OVER ALL ITS A GOOD GAME AND IF YOU LIKE HOCKEY YOU NEED TO AT LEAST RENT IT..

I bought this game under the impression that it'd be better than the EA 07 game. I was correct. At a value price, I purchased a hockey game of high quality and that is very fun to play. I played through an entire season and loved every game I played.

I've been playing 2k5 for years...finally decided to upgrade. I found it used on eBay and paid under $15 with shipping. WELL WORTH IT! They upgraded the games menus - which were super confusing in 2k5. They upgraded other aspects as well. Not many things that I can comment negatively on. Multiplayer match with a friend on Xbox Live took a few minutes to figure out but that's about the only "negative" I can think of. Get it...you won't be disappointed.

I've lost interest in the NHL since the lockout but still enjoy it as a video game. NHL 2K7 did nothing to discourage that enthusiasm. It is a game that is well presented and has load of features. It plays equally well against human players or the computer and the minigames provide something of a sports "Fusion Frenzy."

Overall this game is highly recommended even for those of us who don't actively follow the NHL.

I honestly think this is the Greatest Sports Game I have ever played. My friends and I get together and play Hockey on our XBOX Nights. We have so much fun and it is action packed. The funny thing is that I am not even a hockey fan and one of my fellow Pastor friends turned me onto it. Now I am startying to go to real hockey games. I will probably buy the New Hockey game every year, but I am totally satisfied with this purchase. THanks!

This game is well put together the sights and sounds of hockey are very well done the player models look great the arena music gets very old very fast but other than that its worth a buy

Great game! I love the gameplay and the graphics. Not to mention I am a Sharks fan and Thorton is on the cover. hehe. Really though it is a great game. Give it a try.

If you like Hockey this is definitely a great game to purchase. The realism and graphics are outstanding! You will get your money's worth here.

this is a great game to buy the 2k series has done it again with all the new features and great hd next gen game is worth the money to buy

I like the fast service and affordable price thanks a lot. I would definitely buy from this seller again.

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Im not a real big 2K guy, as I usually get the EA Sports games, but I had alot of fun playing this. And theres an easy 750+ points for your gamerscore. I it's an older model now, but still worth 1000 gamerpoints, and still lots of fun.

This is a great multiplayer game.
The fights are pretty lame, but it is alot of fun.
My hand hurts so bad after just one game when competing w/ my friends.

For $7 bucks shipped it was a great deal.
Why pay $59 for NHL 08 when it never really improves or changes much from the last year, so $7 or $8 bucks for NHL 07 was a good deal..
Thanks

Its a good game just like the rest, though there really is nothing that great about this version. It is fun, but nothing really draws you in like in the past and future.

Game came quickly but does not work. It gives an error after playing it for more then 5 minutes, error says "Disk/Data error".

I love all of the 2k sports games.

I couldn't find the game any where else so i went to ebay.

So go out and get it.

I decided to purchase this item because a friend recommended it. So in late February i purchased it, but i still have not received the item. I have not even received anything about the location of the item. And during this span, the seller has only responded one time. And that was to clear a negative feedback that i gave him. I am very disappointed from this situation.
