NHL 2005
Overall: Now THIS is a hockey game. Wow, EA Sports you've done it again! the gameplay in this was absolutly amazing, i couldnt put my controller down. This was the most visualy sound game i have ever seen on the Xbox. And the soundtrack was outstanding. I absolutly loved this game. but they're were a few flaws in the game. for one, there was no "create a player" and the "create a team" was much better in nhl2004, in this case i think that they took a step backwards. Gameplay: Gameplay was phenomenal. although it is pretty easy to score. and the goaltending was more realistic in NHL 2004. the online play was sketchy for me, i only played about 3 games online and every one of them had a serious case of lag. but overall the gameplay is whats making me buy this game.
Graphics: Flawless, u cant find a game with better visuals then this. ESPN is a joke compared to the realism involved with NHL 2005
Audio: the sound was great i thought, i loved the soundtrack and being able to pick which songs u wanted to hear. BUT one thing that really botherd me is that when the puck hit the post it barely made a sound. i kno in real hockey that the puck doesnt make the huge DING off the crossbar but i still like that when im playing agaisnt my friends, makes it for a more enjoyable experiance i think, but thats just a minor problem.
Suggestions: Keep up the good work
Overall Score: 8.0 / 10
NHL Rivals 2004
Overall: This has to be the worst hockey game i have ever played since Wayne Gretzky Hockey 98 for the N64. The gameplay is horrendus, the visuals are anything but polished and the sound makes me want to throw the game out the window.Gameplay: The gameplay was anything but fun, almost impossible to score or hit. Your players would shy away from the puck and plays. scoring was impossible because u couldnt do one-timers. all round gameplay was brutal compared to the EA Sports and even the ESPN game which i didnt enjoy that much.
Graphics: lacking, u want to see visuals, buy NHL 2004. I mean the playes looked like boxes to me. they skated like they were robots leaving no realism to the game whatsoever. horrible game.
Audio: anything but spectacualar, with the Xbox you should at least be able to add your custom tracks onto the game, but then again none of the EA sports games nor the ESPN games have done it yet but still, nhl rivals blew the big one.
Suggestions: Get better at making hockey games.
