Product Information
Sega returns to the ice with ESPN NHL 2K5, bringing a whole suite of new features to its hockey sim. Party Mode lets players go up against each other in dozens of multiplayer mini-games and challenges.

Online mode for both Xbox and PlayStation 2 feature depth in competition, with tournaments, detailed statistics, multiplayer league play, and even online Party mode. And for 2005, the ESPN presentation has been beefed up even more, with ESPN's Gary Thorne and Bill Clement presiding over all the action on and off the ice.

Great franchise mode, but Overall not that great

Created: 28/11/06
NHL 2K5

I've never been a fan of the 2K series of hockey games. It has a great franchise mode, but Overall not that great

Here's my list of reasons why:

- Too easy to score
- Gameplay not realistic
- Players look like they're floating not skating
- Unlockable teams only have numbers on jerseys not actual players
- Controls are awkward and hard to get used to
- Put in features that most people will find repulsive

NHL 2K5 does offer one of the best franchise modes available. That being said, I still didn't find the game all that great.

Final Verdict:

3/5

Rent or Buy?: As I said at the beginning, I've never been a fan of the 2K series of hockey games, if you're looking for a great Hockey game pick up a copy of NHL 06 for multiplayer and NHL 07 for Xbox 360 for overall play.
