The NHL 2005 for Xbox is rated E for everyone. NHL 2005 challenges gamers of all skill levels to lace up their skates and create open ice. New Open Ice Control allows players to execute offensive plays such as Give-and-Gos and breakaway passes or call for a defensive double team with the touch of a button. A completely overhauled skating engine captures both the explosive speed of offensive skating and the surgical precision of backwards defensive movement. Dynasty Mode goes even deeper with a new, easier to navigate interface, and more interactive GM/owner relationships, including a deep new e-mail system.
Pros:
Awesome graphics, World Cup of Hockey and Free4All modes, fighting's back, newly added strategies
