NHL 08 for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

The new practice mode is awesome and a very good way to hone your skills with the new skating and shooting configurations. The create a play function is something that definitely pushes ea over 2k for this year. You can also play as the goalie for the entire game which could be fun if you would just like to get a feel for how the game is played through the goalies eyes. There's a little glitching with the scenes between plays but overall the game engine is much smoother and puck handling, skating movements and scoring chances are more realistic which makes playing the game feel more like a real hockey game.

This game is good. The graphics are awsome and game is realistic. But its not for the the begineers. The stick control and shooting take some getting use too and hard to get past the goal and get the puck back once u lost it. Checking is almost impossible if you dont get the timing right. If jumping in and start playing is what u want i suggest something else but if u want to take the time to learn the game and get it down i would gladly say its for you. I hope this helps someone in there search for the right game for them
