    OXM review


    Got my issue today.

    6.7?!

    Good
    Icon Passing
    Franchise Mode

    Bad
    Skating feels like air hockey instead of ice hockey
    Numerous AI Problems
    Graphics don't jell together

    Perplexing
    Will the 360 version redeem the series later this year?

      Take it for what it's worth, they trashed Close Combat, giving it a 2.1 and the game was actually very good.

        Wow - I heard they gave NHL 2006 8.8 - I'll try both games out, but that's a low rating to say the least...

          Interesting, I guess I'll have to try out both games this year.

            They didn't review NHL 2006 this month.

                      Re: OXM review

                      Why do you guys believe a magazine like it's what everybody that works for that magazine believes? It's one person reviewing it for the magazine... I could give it a 10/10 at the same time that somebody else on here could give it a 1/10. He just happened to give it a 6.7/10, when I'm sure that another guy could've reviewed it and gave it a 9.4/10.


                      It's just one person, not all of OXM.

                        Except that they used to rate the 2K games pretty well.

                          I wouldn't say I believe any of it. I just would like to know what the guy thought was so wrong with the AI, or details of anything else he didn't like.

                            So... they as in he? Are you sure it's the same reviewer as last time?

                            This is exactly what I'm saying... you're making OXM become one person, one reviewer. You guys do realize that there are individual people on IGN, Gamespot, EGM, etc., but if you say that IGN is always good to Madden and is now bad... no, Hilary Goldstein is. I mean, sometimes it's not even Hilary, sometimes it would be Jon Robinson. IGN isn't one person, it's a company full of people... and the reviewers are individual people; they aren't IGN.

                              OXM is for casual fans and they prefer over the top arcade games rather than sports simulations. I am very encouraged by this score.
