| THQ Wireless shoots and scores with launch of NHL THQ Wireless Inc. announced that the company has teamed up again this season with the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association to launch NHL 5-on-5 2006, the new hockey game on mobile phones. Now available on major carriers to coincide with the start of the NHL season, NHL 5-on-5 2006 allows mobile gamers to lace up as one of 300 NHL players, in addition to participating in full season play, managing their own team and downloading roster updates. Boasting more robust art and vivid animation, as well as incredible gameplay improvements, NHL 5-on-5 2006 features all 30 NHL teams with strengths and weaknesses mirroring their real-life counterparts. Reminiscent of console classics, NHL 5-on-5 2006 offers full season mode, including the playoffs as well as the Stanley Cup Finals, and the mobile game also allows players to download updated lineups reflecting information on player movement and team improvements. In addition, THQ Wireless has added several features. Line changes and coaching strategies allow players to show off their skills behind the bench, while the addition of one-timers, tip-ins, and redirections let users display their ability on the ice. Varying powered shots let you fire a ferocious slap shot into the back of the net or trickle the puck between the goalie's legs. The new and improved mobile game also allows players to feel every check thrown during gameplay, through a vibration feature available on many handsets. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
