This review is from: Gretzky NHL' 06 (Video Game)

06 is so much better than the original version, because its made by a different developer. I haven't even started playing season mode yet because the new 3-on-3 mode is so addicting! I basically play as (in my case) forsberg, gagne, and knuble vs any other team's top 3 players. It's so fun! The controls are a lot better, and its easier to shoot one timers unlike the old version. The only negative for me is that it doesnt have most of the rookies on it, it has them on there but it doesnt have their name. For example, it says: "Rookie, R." for Sidney Crosby and the same for the Flyers' Jeff Carter or Mike Richards- i dont know which one because it only has one rookie not two, so one is missing. I would buy it if you really like hockey, cuz its fun.

The developers didn't do a good job at all.

The graphics is sloppy and slow. I've been playing hockey games since EA's NHL 94 and this pretty much bring me back to that time.

Don't waste your money on this game, no matter how much of a hockey fan you are.
