Delivering realistic hockey action with big hits, bone-crunching checks, and lightning-fast gameplay, NHL Hitz 2002 offers adrenaline-style four-on-four NHL hockey for your GameCube. In true pro hockey fashion, players skate full speed into the boards to retrieve a loose puck, block slap shots, and throw down their gloves to defend their teams. NHL Hitz 2002 comes complete with a crowd that's realistically rendered in 3-D and reacts to the dramatic on-ice action by banging on the glass, throwing hats on the ice, and even walking out on bad games.

So slip your mouthguard on and lock your helmet in place because you're about to get slammed against the boards by the most entertaining hockey game ever created.

5.0 out of 5 stars NHL Hitz: The Ultimate Hockey Game, November 21, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: NHL Hitz 20-02 (Video Game)

Hello fellow gamers! I am one of the lucky individuals who happened to pre-order Gamecube early! Now, let's get started. NHL Hitz is unbelievable, if I have to sum it up in one word, but I'll get deeper. I don't even play hockey, but I find this more fun than NFL Blitz! The gameplay is really fast, and there is exceptional graphics! There is a 3D crowd so you can see some people doing really crazy things! Some of the crowd members hold up codes so you don't have to buy a codebook for the game. If you win a game, whether it is in Exhibition, Championship, or Midway Cup, you get what is known as credits, which you can buy in the hockey shop for heritage jerseys, stadiums such as the Moon Base and the Collaseum, teams, and much more! And there is also no refs so if a fight gets brewing, the game suddenly turns into a Mortal-Kombat style game! That is all I have to say, and I end this review saying NHL Hitz is among one of the greatest games I have ever played, and if sports, video game, and hockey fans alike will also be amazed by the power of NHL Hitz!

5.0 out of 5 stars Go Avalanche!, September 20, 2002

Quite simply, this is one of the best games I've ever encountered in my twenty-plus years of gaming. I've never liked sports games before, but from the moment I started this game I was hooked. I've always loved hocky, but found that most games were either too dull, too complicated or just didn't have the graphics that make this game light up the way it does on the Game Cube. If you don't own this game, buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not What You Might Think, May 8, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: NHL Hitz 20-02 (Video Game)

Well, to start things off, I hate hockey. That is just what I thought NHL Hitz was going to be like, a typical hockey game. I even threw a fit in the store not to buy that game. But boy was I wrong. NHL Hitz is the greatest. It has tons of teams you could never imagine (snowmen,aliens,clowns). Every fantasy team also has a fantasy course (North Pole for Snowmen, The moon for the aliens, and the Circus for the clowns). There are also many more teams than I have named. There is also a Franchise mode in which you make a team to enter this mode. It is soooo neat. You can pick their own logo,name, and players. Here is what I would say, if you like hockey, don't get this game because you may think the rules are stretched way too much, but if you absolutely hate hockey (like me) then I absolutely recomend this game because it is soooooo fun with all the fantasy stuff. One last thing. I have had this game for 4 months now and I am still not bored of it. This game is definately worth 5 stars.
