The article presents several games that were released in 2005, which became cult, they can be advised to gamers now, or at least they sold well at the time of release. The top games of 2005 included projects released for personal computers.
1. Call of Duty 2
The second part was a continuation of the first CoD, which was released in 2003. First-person shooter continues the story of the events of the Second World War. The story is based on the stories of three soldiers - from the Soviet, American and British armies. During the passage of the story, missions move between combat battles and sides, because of which you can consider operations and battles from different angles and positions. The player will take part in the battle of Stalingrad, in operations in North Africa, to become a member of the legendary landing in Normandy for an American soldier. In general, most parts of the Call of Duty series can be added to the top PC games from 2000 to 2005. It is definitely recommended for passing even in 2019.
2. Battlefield 2
The eternal competitor of the CoD shooter, their struggle in the genre continues to this day, but on the field of multiplayer battles. This project hit the top games of 2005 for a reason. Already at that time, the Battlefield series offered the player huge spaces for military operations. Large maps, vehicles, many weapons and classes. Unfortunately, the game is good only in online battles, since there is no sane story campaign here. For this item, the shooter loses CoD.
3. NFS Mos Wanted
The next representative of the top 10 PC games from 2005 is the legendary racing series. After extremely successful racing in the night city in two parts, the developers decided to slightly move away from the concept and combine it with forgotten mechanics. As a result, the night turned into a day, powerful supercars were added to the fleet, and it was also very restless on the streets of the city - policemen now interfere with driving. It was because of the chases with the cops that this race became extremely popular, and therefore fell into all the lists and ratings as a model project.
4. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
This representative of the top 10 PC games of 2005 is a third-person stealth action game. This game continues the successful developments of the original part - a variety of missions, the variability of their passage, as well as the plot. According to history, undercover agent Sam Fisher must intervene in a US-North Korean conflict to prevent a war.
Chaos Theory has added more options for silent killings, places to disguise. Before leaving on a mission, you have to plan actions. If you play at a high level of difficulty, then this part of Spilnter Cell will be able to puzzle even the master of the stealth genre.
5. Sid Meier's Civilization IV
Let's step aside from dynamic action games and continue the top games of 2005 with a turn-based strategy. Everything is good in the global “Civilization” of those years: the balance of the parties, the mechanics of development, the variability of policy and so on. The game is notable for the fact that epochs are changing in it, which greatly affects the general situation on the map, technology, culture and so on. Civilization IV allows you to create a model of absolutely any state, religion, form of government.
The player can choose a peaceful path and begin trade / friendship with neighboring states. This will allow you to concentrate on the development of technology, not war. On the other hand, no one bothers to build a bloody power and attack all opponents, but this way can lead to failure, because the game does not forgive thoughtless actions. In the end, your country may be left without allies, and subsequently will be absorbed by enemies.
It is also worth noting the excellent multiplayer, which also influenced the game in the top 10 of 2005.
6. Fahrenheit
The founder of the interactive movie genre. The game will take part in the life of Lucas Kane, who was drawn into very strange events. The plot begins in the toilet of the diner, and the main character comes to his senses with a bloodied knife in his hand. The character does not remember anything, and what is happening around does not give answers, but only throws unnecessary questions.
The gameplay is constantly changing. You have to play for several characters in parallel and look at the story from different angles. Ultimately, the storylines of all the characters are intertwined.
7. FEAR
The FEAR horror shooter differs from the rest not only in its atmosphere and interesting mystical history, but also in its remarkable physics of shooting and objects. Although the action takes place to a greater extent in closed office premises, even watching the shootings is very interesting. Slowing down the time only improves the effect - office supplies spin around, grenades explode, tables turn over and so on. Even for effects and atmosphere, the game is worthy of getting into the top PC games in 2005.
8. SWAT 4
This first-person shooter is similar to the previous game in appearance and shooting mechanics. However, the theme here is fundamentally different. In SWAT 4, the player acts as a commando. Together with the squad, your character has to complete missions of varying complexity. There are 16 missions in a single player campaign - from hijacking a regular diner to terrorist acts. Either strictly follow the instructions of the chief, or command your squad yourself. But remember that any wrong action will lead to fatal consequences.
9. Resident Evil 4
This action is not the best fate on personal computers because of the "crooked" control - when walking and shooting, the mouse is not used. Despite this technical performance, the game is addictive with its eerie atmosphere, a continuation of the history of Resident Evil from the previous parts. In the role of Leon Kennedy's secret agent, the player is investigating the biological weapons case that turned the Earth into a zombie house.
10. GTA San Andreas
And the last representative of the top 2005 games on PC. This game needs no introduction. Until now, San Andreas is considered one of the best parts of the series, as well as an excellent game in general. 3 big cities, an interesting and atmospheric history, many side options for activity are waiting for you if you decide to visit the state of San Andreas!
