It looks amazing! Absolutely amazing...
For the XBOX360, that is.

I was planning on buying a 360 at the end of the year, but now I'm hoping I can get it much earlier.
They've got all the gear in it (RBK, Mission, Nike, Bauer, CCM, JOFA, Graf) and the goaltending equipment looks almost impossbly identical to that of the real NHL goaltenders. They also have some of their masks in it too (
). Also word that the motion capture of the goalies in the game was that of a real NHL goaltender (Who they haven't named yet).
NHL 07 for 360 has been revamped completely from NHL 06 on XBOX (for those who want to know, XBOX's version will likely be the same as 06)
Anyway, aside from the visuals are the main thing: The Gameplay. It looks UNBELIEVABLY ACCURATE. They finally added in almost all of the templates I asked for (Power Forward, Playmaker, Sniper, Dangler), the players move like real hockey players, and the Goalies aren't flopping around everywhere. They look like REAL professional goaltenders! Players handle the puck and their upper and lower bodies can move seperately. It's beautifully done, especially with the right analog stick actually being the Hockey stick. The sticks bend on slapshots, and I think they added in more moves for gamers that want to play as the goalie. As for ht templates - you have to know how the hockey player is, cause they won't be adding in the icons. I don't mind though, I'm sure I'll be editing all the players... About a month after I get my hands on the game... after first reading some reviews... and then playing the game at Electronic Boutique. Oh yeah, and for those thta want the mullets sticking out of the helmets, 360's got them.
Check out the pictures and videos. it's almost shoking really.
