Brief synopsis of NHL 2K6

NHL 2K6 is the latest instalment in the best-selling Ice Hockey series and is a must for any fans of the sport or of Ice Hockey videogames. The controls have been improved in this latest version and there is an impressive level of detail and number of features on offer. The game also features plenty of new presentation elements, commentary and cut-scenes, to keep fans of this fast-moving and chilly sport more than happy.

The ProControl system lets you take command of the offensive zone with tape-to-tape icon passing, behind the net plays and precision give-and-go attacks. You will soon be dominating the ice with NHL calibre goaltending, skating, checking and puck handling with the deeply enhanced animation system.

Strong and aggressive play from the bigger, beefier players on your team increases your Enforcer System rating, throwing opponents off their game by bringing out your checking line.

The On-The-Fly coaching features enable you to play your style of hockey at both ends of the ice by calling team strategy during the action. And if you want to take the goalie's job, the Maximum Goaltending option allows you to take matters into your own hands by swapping into the cage and utilising your right analog stick to make quick, intuitive saves when it counts the most.

The overall presentation of the game has improved considerably, with a fully 3D crowd, the latest player/team stats and highly realistic NHL arenas enhancing the experience, bringing all the intensity of a true NHL game right to your living room.

Play this game 2 player and you'll have an easy 1000 gamer points within 20 minutes. so long as the game dosn't crash too much for you! And the online mode is very touch and go.

Rated - 3 stars1000 points easy

A customer from Kent (different guy!!!) , 17/07/2006

I managed to get 1000 gamerscore in one match up on two player!!! Which is good, but the online mode really didn't work, maybe I just picked a bad time to play though. All in all, an alright game, if you can cope with loads of complex(?) button combinations!!!!

Rated - 2 starsGamerscore...

James Kay from Birmingham , 27/07/2007

Only reason to rent this is for gamerscore. 1000 points in like 3 games. Its far too simple and a real let down for Hockey Games.

Having loved Blitz on the original X Box, I thought I'd give it a go. But unless you want gamerscore... steer well clear

Rated - 2 starsNot To Bad

A customer from East London , 23/08/2007

I got this game for the 1000 gamer score but to be honest the game is o.k to play but without the instruction's it is a bit confuseing, plus it seems to crash a lot so unless you want to play this just for the 1000 GP i would recommend staying away from this game
