This is still a solid game of hockey, but it isn't the most realistic or best-playing NHL title out there, and as such, it shouldn't be your first choice for one. If you played NHL 2004, you'll notice a few subtle but useful control tweaks in this year's game.

While the game's is an improvement over the 2004 edition, it's still not quite up to snuff.
