NHL 08 vs 2K8

goofyballer · #1 09-11-2007, 06:05 PM

Any big hockey fans that have played either want to comment? I'm usually a 2K fanboy but NHL 08 is getting some sick reviews, whereas 1UP gave 2K8 a pitiful 4.0 (08 got a 9.5).

Oh helllll yeah, I forgot NHL 08 is out today. Sweet.

I hated 2K7 so much and loved 07. The demo for 08 was pretty sweet and that's without figuring out all the new moves. The computer AI definitely seemed much, much better.

Do you mean for next gen or PS2?

PS2 version of NHL 07 did not have any of the bells and whistles as the next gen editions.

NHL not hitting stores till tomorrow in most places, so I doubt many people have impressions yet. Seems to be out just in Toronto, damn Canadians. I'll be definitely picking up 08 tomorrow, don't really have any interest in 2k unless impressions really get more positive. Tip for those of you who want to pick it tomorrow, Circuit City is guaranteeing both NHL and Skate in by 2 tomorrow or you get a 20 dollar gift card, looks like Skate was delayed a day or two, so pick up NHL and get Skate for 20 bucks off at the same time, both demos were fantastic.

I have gotten 2k the last 3 years, and this year I am sold on EA's 08.

Ive always enjoyed both games. Alway gave a bit of an edge to 2k but last year 07 i liked better. Now aft6er seeing this year NHL08 its no contest anymore.

I'm just saying if you want a free 20 bucks while picking up NHL, just go to Circuit City, that's my plan anyways.

Edit: Nevermind, it looks like they aren't honoring it, one of those "guarantees" where they call it off if they can't actually guarantee it.
