NHL 07 for the Xbox 360 is a great game for any hockey fan that enjoys a realistic experience. NHL 07 has an awesome new feature called the Skill Stick where you can control your sticks actions with the right analog stick. I have played EA's NHL series for what seems like forever and fans of the series will have to adjust to this new feature, but once you get a hang of it you won't want to go back to the old control's. This game is reuniting ESPN's old partnership of Gary Thorne and Bill Clemente as the games announcers and this brings a very genuine feeling to the gameplay because they have great chemistry when they work together. The graphics in NHL 07 are fantastic you can see everything from the hair swaying under a players helmet to the sweat dripping down the players face and this year EA has added a new system for the puck that gives the puck its own movement not controlled movement like in the past games. This means that you will have deflection goals and bounces of the puck while playing. The dynasty mode is one of the deepest in a hockey game that I have seen with realistic salary caps and team chemistry that will effect your team's play on the ice. I did feel however that EA could of added a few mini-games to the mix besides the shootout which is very fun and addicting to play. I feel like that is the only place where NHL 2K7 beat NHL 07, but overall this game is one of the best sports games ever to hit the shelves.
