Gretzky NHL 06 Reviews
| 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful  Realistic? Probably not. Fun? Hell yeah., By Rob "Clive" (SoCal) - See all my reviews = Fun:  This review is from: Gretzky NHL 06 (Video Game) I love how fast this game is, although some shoot it down because of how "hyper" it is. The speed of this game (which you can adjust by the way) is what sets it apart from the other guys.Graphics are very solid, with nice animations on checks and jukes. There's room for improvement as far as player faces, but I'm nitpicking. Franchise mode is pretty darned good. I'm interested to see the next installment with cap restrictions, otherwise, it's pretty easy to stack your team with all-stars at the end of your losing season, and wreak revenge on the NHL in the following season. They make it too easy to acquire free agents I think. I like that they've put a lot of effort into including AHL teams and minor league players. The only problem is that once you've tasted NHL play, you'll notice a huge dropoff in speed, passing and shooting with the AHL guys. It's a little maddening honestly. Wayne v. Wayne is a terrific concept and very fun to play with your... Read more 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful FINALLY... A worthwhile hockey game!!, By = Fun: This review is from: Gretzky NHL 06 (Video Game) After being rather frustrated with the NHL 2K6 effort and feeling that EA has become a little stale, I'm very pleased with Gretzky NHL 2006. The controls are simple (at least compared to the nonsense of 2K6 and their three-tiered overdone controller layout), the game is fast, the fun is endless. The gameplay is smooth, perhaps not quite as much as the other two competitors, but it is STILL EXCELLENT. Game speed is customizable, which helps when there are only four difficulty levels. Playcalling is also deep with sets for PK, PP, netral zone ,breakout, etc... If your idea of a fun hockey video game is to customize puck traction, board bounce, zamboni tire tread-effect on the ice, etc... then get 2K6. Otherwise, get this game. It's a vast improvement over last year's edition and it is a refreshing addition to the NHL console video game market. Hockey is at heart a simple game; Gretzky 2006 captures that spirit while still providing a graphically pleasing and extremely fun game. THIS GAME ROCKS!!!!!!, By Bookworm (michigan) - See all my reviews = Fun: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Gretzky NHL 06 (Video Game) As a big big hockey fan i would like to say all the hockey games are great, But this hockey game is the best!! The graphics are really really good about as good as NHL 07, you can actually look at players and tell who it is without seeing the name or the jersey. I really like how u can go down to the AHL and play games there too. That is about all i have to say about this game besides GO WINGS!!!!!! -Koda from Michigan |
