  1. NHL 07, despite its faults, manages to be the best NHL game on the PSP and a good rookie attempt by the folks at EA Sports. If you were just waiting for the NHL series to make its portable debut, NHL 07 won’t disappoint.
  2. One of the most addictive portable NHL games you’ll buy this year. No offense to the wonderful Gretzky games, but when it comes to a truly deep NHL hockey experience this is the series you will want to own.

    The controls are tight, especially shooting. We would like to see the checking system tweaked a bit so players aren't so magnetic. Great puck physics make for exciting, organic goal scoring.
  4. Clunky settings options, graphical hang-ups, and occasional artificial intelligence fouls bring the game down a peg or two, but mostly this is good hockey that handles the portable translation well.

    User friendly gameplay. Dare I say, a better multiplayer experience than NBA live 07? Could very well be...
