Ridiculous gameplay that doesn't even come close to resembling hockey; bizarre franchise mode.

User Rating: 7.8 | NHL 2005 PC
By CTOCTOCTO | Review Date:
NHL 2005 also delivers all the action of the World Cup of Hockey, with International Teams and venues from North America and Europe. In addition to all 30 NHL teams, NHL 2005 includes 39 teams from the Swedish, Finnish and German Elite Leagues, as well as 21 International teams.

Ridiculous gameplay that doesn't even come close to resembling hockey; bizarre franchise mode.

Of all things you'd expect out of a sports game, the number one priority, the most vital, is that it needs to be better than the previous version. You can talk about features, tweaks, graphics, or whatever, but if a game isn't as good as the year before, then what's the point? That's the problem with NHL 2005 on the PC. Not only is it not equal to NHL 2004; on nearly every level, it's a step backwards. In the end, there's no reason whatsoever to "upgrade" to this new version, and that's the most damming thing you can say about a sports franchise.
