NHL 2K6 Review (Xbox 360)

[Steve_OS]

We have just posted our NHL 2K6 review. Find out what Chris Sullivan has to say about it.

"Remember the game Ice Hockey on the 8-bit Nintendo? Sure, you do. Well, I recall the game coming with a suggestion card, asking the consumer what they would like to see in future hockey games. I'm sure I wasn't the only one that filled that card out, asking for a hockey game with real NHL players, a hockey game with a full regular season. The thing is, as bare as that game was in regards to options, it was a blast to play. Now, fast forward to 2005. Hockey games in general have progressed so much over the past 15 years that there really isn't much left for us to ask for. Now that the next generation of video gaming is upon us, our level of expectation have been taken up a notch. With NHL 2K6, a launch title for the Xbox 360, Kush Games and Visual Concepts think they're up to the challenge. Let's see how their latest hockey title stacks up."

Nice review, I was debating on whether to purchase this game because I have it on xbox already. I think I will rent it to see if it is worth the price increase.

As far as the injuries go, maybe they took some notes from Blitz the league and shot them up with some juice to get them through the game.

Good job, Sully.

Nice review, Sully. The improved breakaway logic and the much better "new NHL" feel that the game has on the 360 definitely warrant purchase for anyone who had the game on the Xbox, imo.
