Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The fast, furious hockey action that has made 989 Sports’ NHL FaceOff franchise a hockey heavyweight returns loaded with all the thunderous checks and precision passing, plus an even more savvy computer as NHL FaceOff 2003 hits the ice for the PlayStation2. The NHL FaceOff franchise has long been known for delivering a realistic hockey simulation featuring fast gameplay and tight, intuitive play controls, and NHL FaceOff 2003 pushes those boundaries even further.

A revolutionary new dynasty mode allows gamers for the first time ever to live the life of a general manager and build their team from scratch. Working with a salary cap, gamers must strategically draft players within their budget while keeping their eyes tuned to the free-agent market. Recognizing hockey talent and knowing when to make a trade will determine success or failure. All 30 NHL arenas have been re-created in lifelike detail, down to the championship banners hanging from the rafters. New Jersey Devils announcer Mike Emrick and hockey analyst Darren Pang return to call all the hockey action in NHL FaceOff 2003.

1.0 out of 5 stars It Stinks! Save your money!, January 27, 2003

This review is from: NHL Face Off 2003 (Video Game)

You would think after all this time 989 could get it right...NOT! The graphics are TERRIBLE. The uniforms are horrible. The numbers on the jerseys look like they were drawn on with watercolor. The uniforms and the arenas looked alot better on PS1. You would think that this being Sony's premium game platform they would want their game to be the absolute best. This looks like they just slapped anything they could get out there.
Why, oh why, can they not, after all this time get Madison Square Garden right. The game says it has all the arenas. MSG has a round, tan and brown ceiling with the lights in a circular pattern. They didn't even come close. In Faceoff '99 they had it right, but they put in the L.A. Forum!
The gameplay is terrible also. Every time my winger got the puck I could zoom him off for a big break-away. Just deke left and shoot and you will score everytime!
989, You've got a long way to go to show that you even care about putting a decent hockey game out there!
I hate to admit that I spent the money, but if this review can keep someone else from spending theirs, then I guess it did some good!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Good, February 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: NHL Face Off 2003 (Video Game)

The game was aweful. The animations of the goalies is terrible, they fall over and lay on the ground. A 100 mph shot looks about 30. I am at a loss for words, it just stinks. I think EAs game from 1997 is a better buy.
