  Summary: Dazzling graphics are the first thing you notice when you turn the game on. And it carries over into gameplay. Very impressive stuff.
  Goalies reacted to the puck in a more realistic fashion and make dazzling blocker and kick saves, which make the game fun.
  Skaters score goals in a variety of ways. No two goals looked the same the first few times I played the game.
  The analog stick allows for improved dekes where you have more control over the deke, ala NHL 94, which makes for a more fun game.
  Checking is so much better than NHL 04. You can still check, but it is easier to get by someone and not get held up every time.
  I've only played this game a handfull of times, but my early impressions of it are very good.
  The only negative was during the game when you pause and enter the menu, there is no mouse pointer...or at least I wasn't getting one. You have to move around with the joystick. Not a big deal, just not something I'm used to.
  Great graphics combined with solid gameplay make this a flat out fun game to play.
