      NHL 07 is an ice hockey video game, released in 2006 as the successor to NHL 06. The game improved the series' gameplay with more realistic features, such as stickhandling and a wider variety of controller schemes. The Xbox 360 version features a completely revamped game and graphics engine from the predecessor.

      Gameplay

      NHL 07 features 4 European leagues - Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga, Sweden's Elitserien, Finland's SM-liiga, and the Czech Republic's Tipsport Extraliga. NHL 07 for the Xbox 360 features analog stick control and a brand new physics system which eliminates the magnetic type possession of the puck which have been used in past NHL games. Commentary is provided by Gary Thorne and Bill Clement for the Xbox 360 version of the game, however, Jim Hughson and Craig Simpson return for the current generation and PSP versions.

      The game received "generally favorable reviews" on all platforms except the PC version, which received "average" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[28][27][25][26][24]

      The A.V. Club gave the X360 version a B and stated that "the only thing wrong with NHL 07 is that most of the other major sports inherently make for better video games."[22] Detroit Free Press similarly gave the same console version three stars out of four and stated that the game "is a bit crisper and cleaner in high-definition."[23] However, The Sydney Morning Herald gave the game three-and-a-half stars out of five and said, "The action can be hard to follow, but fans will appreciate the realism."[29]
