Something about this just doesn't feel right - the skating feels loose and floaty, the character animation is poor, and the sound is a little strange. EA managed to get all of these things right, with better presentation and deeper gameplay, and it makes for a much better game.

It's not a terrible hockey game by any means, but it's impossible to justify buying this when EA's NHL 08 is so much better.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Hockey, yeah
