NHL 06 is a great hockey game...if you didnt play 2005 last year. NHL 06 has way too much in common with NHL 2005 for its own good.

Gameplay- Strikingly similiar to last years 2005. The only major change is that instead of deking options we get stuck with some lame figure- skating like moves. 8/10

Graphics- ahh...the cream of the crop...the best part of NHL 06 has to be its graphics...the player models are extremely detailed and the crowds are (almost) fully 3-d for the first time. 10/10

Sound- Like most EA games, NHL 06 has a good soundrack stocked with licensed tracks. Though not alot of them (11) the songs on this game are great.

Value- This is the best hockey game you can get for thirty bucks, hands down...if you like hockey you should own this game, you wont regret it...
