Hockey Rage 2005 is a hockey game for the Nokia N-Gage and Gizmondo handheld game console. The game features Bluetooth two player option.

Development

[edit]

Hockey Rage 2005 was made using publisher Fathammer's X-Forge 2 middleware.[1] It was released as a launch title for the Gizmondo.[2] A Tapwave Zodiac version was also planned but its release was cancelled.[3]

Reception

[edit]

Eurogamer's Ellie Gibson described the game as "a straightforward Ice Hockey title with simple controls", criticizing how small the sprites are in the game.[4] Electronic Gaming Monthly considered it one of the games worth buying on launch, calling its gameplay "simple fun".[5]
