Midway takes its infamous over-the-top style--made famous in its NFL Blitz and NBA Showtime (previously named Jam) games--to the ice in NHL Hitz 2002. You won't find an accurate hockey simulation in this game. Instead, you'll see some outrageously brutal checking and the wickedest slap shots ever seen. The game features 14 fictional teams, each with its own arena. Midway's traditional three-button codes are in the game, allowing you to unlock modes such as Big Head, Infinite Turbo, and more. Certain characters and teams will be available only after they are unlocked. Game modes include exhibition, championship, and franchise. The soundtrack sports famous acts such as Korn, Limp Bizkit, and Kid Rock.

Gameplay is already slick. If you like the extreme style of Blitz and Showtime, you'll love this game. One big difference in gameplay is the use of the goalie. The developers didn't want the goalie to be a victim on the ice. Goalies in Hitz are quite powerful, and are very much offensive characters. The graphics are great across the board, with the PS2 version looking good, the GameCube version looking great, and the Xbox version looking outstanding. The Xbox version makes terrific use of lighting and reflections. --Raymond M. Padilla

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting game with big hits, November 23, 2001

This review is from: NHL Hitz 2002 (Video Game)

Upon trying this game I found that it was quite entertaining. I found that the 3 on 3 format plus goalie was adequate as the rink size is a bit on the small side. I think that more than 3 on 3 would probably crowd the game play. It was fun to build my own team and then progress my way through the tournament, building up the stat points of my players as I went. All in all an enjoyable game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money!!, November 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: NHL Hitz 2002 (Video Game)

I think some of the other reviewers were looking for a different type of game. This game is from Midway so I expected an NFL Blitz type of game. But this blows Blitz out of the water. It's very fast, easy to learn, good graphics, customized teams and players and you get to fight! So if you are looking for a "real life" hockey game buy something else, but if you want hours of knocking (at) people this is the game for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars NHL Hitz, September 16, 2001

This review is from: NHL Hitz 2002 (Video Game)

NHL Hitz is a great hockey for this upcoming season. If you liked NHL 2001 then you will love this come. Great game play, sound, and control make this game almost perfect in every aspect on the game. Plus it has amazing player animations, especially with fighting and reactions after being checked. Next, this game has a great new fighting system that almost seems like it's, it's own game. Last there is a new feature that hasn't been used since NHL 1997, and that is a skills competition just like in the NHL All-Stars game in real life. You can practice shoting, manuevering past defenders, and improving your speed. Overall NHL Hitz for Playstation 2 is going to be this years best hockey video games out.
