Revolutionary. The skill stick and player control in NHL 07 outpaces every prior hockey sim.

Every year it seems there is one sports game that comes along that you keep going back to, even as new games come out. This year that game is NHL 07. But this year, the added difference is I've held off on buying FIFA, NBA and NFL games because I'm so engrossed in this one. Hockey is especially suited to this role because games take about half the time of football. XBox Live matches up games with surprising and welcome alacrity.

The skill stick is truly revolutionary - gone are the days of pushing buttons with no real control of the outcome, hello to the days of true real player control.

The only flaw is that the AI tends to let in a number of cheap goals. It gets frustrating sometimes when your goalie takes 3 shots off the shoulder in one period and lets them all spiral over him into the net.

The achievements seem fair but balanced - I've finally achieved almost all of the non-dynasty achievements just shutting out the AI on superstar last night.
