NHL 2007 (Xbox 360) Demo Impressions


Also gave a try to the demo of NHL 07 (Xbox 360). While I was disappointed that it didn't contain an actual game, just the shoot out mode, it was fun while it lasted.

You basically get to play as either the Edmonton Oilers or Carolina Hurricanes in a shoot out, which featured some interesting yet tricky to master controls.

You controlled your player with the left thumb stick, but shooting was handled with the right thumb stick. Up is a wrist shot, holding down, then up is a slap shot, and move left and right will stick handle.

I've actually found it very hard to score, but with only such a small portion of one of the game's features to sample, I'm not going to rush out and buy it.

Sorry, EA, but next time release a real demo.
