Reviewers Liked

  • It's a whole lot more NHL than you got on the tube, last year, New puck and player physics bring NHL realism to the ice, NHL 06 gets the 'Skill Stick' treatment, all sorts of new moves with the right analog stick, New character creation system
  • Fun and addictive gameplay; looks as good as any hockey game currently out; has Sidney Crosby

Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Perhaps too much a hockey simulation, it's quite tough, Graphics are sharp, but showing the need for the next gen of consoles
  • Pretty much the same game as last year; the fans in the stands are just plain creepy
