NHL 08 is the best hockey game ever. The skill stick has brought hockey games to the next level. One timers and the dekes are also very realistic. This year spin moves and the Datsyuk Dangle. The hit stick is very simple and fun to use, but if you do not line the skater up, he will bounce of you or just burn you. The customizations in create a player, create a goalie and create a team is very in depth. You can customize anything from glove color to you type of stick. There are some negatives to the game, it freezes very often. There are also some really odd goals, that usually don't count, but stay in the goal for about two minutes. The hits can be very realistic but there is only one way to get injured on a hit, which gets very old quickly. Overall, this is a great game that should be bought by any hockey fan, or any fan of sports games.
