Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

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 Xbox. 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.


Amazon.co.uk

Midway takes its infamous over-the-top style--made famous in its NFL Blitz and NBA Showtime games--to the ice in NHL Hitz 2002. You won't find an accurate hockey simulation in this game. Instead, you'll see 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 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. --Raymond M. Padilla

5.0 out of 5 stars this is a very good game, November 25, 2001
By danull (United States) - See all my reviews
I've read many "professional" reviews for this game, and none of them do this game justice. It is very exciting & playing multiplayer with 2 of my friends has already provided hours and hours of entertainment - none of us want to stop, and we've put Dead or Alive 3 and Halo aside in favor of it. Its greatest strengths are its replay value as well as its 3-player multiplayer aspects. It is a fantastic "party" game, and is very useful for when friends visit for extended periods of time (when DoA3 would get old within the first few hours). I highly recommend this game.

5.0 out of 5 stars The core values of hockey..., March 18, 2002
By Joshua Whittington (Paso Robles, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Midway got it right with every sports pseudo-sim they've made since NBA Jam for SNES. And NHL Hitz 20-02 is the epitome of all the best you've come to expect from them, translated into the coolest game on earth: NHL hockey!
As with NBA Jam and NFL Blitz, this isn't a game you play for realistic simulation. If that's what you want, get EA Sports' NHL 2002.
Hitz is 3-on-3 hockey action and each team has 6 players to choose from, some of which will be scorers, and others which are hard-hitters (the hitters are more likely to get in fights and win them). If a player gets in a fight and loses, he's out for the rest of the game. Although there is a lot of steamrolling and big hits, you still need strategy and teamwork to get the puck in the net.
The AI is very good; very seldom will it allow any team to win by a landslide. If one team gets too far ahead of the other, the game will assist the losing team by making their hits a little harder, their shots a little more accurate, etc. This makes the game continually challenging.
The crowd is very dynamic and adds environment to the game. The announcers are also good at keeping the spirit of the game alive. Their comments are generally well-timed and seldom get repetitive. There isn't music during the game but between intervals of action you'll hear a lot of cool songs.
The hits are every bit as good as the hype. Players will routinely be smashed through the rinkside glass into the stands, especially when you play as the roughest team in the NHL: the San Jose Sharks. The fighting is cool, too. Usually it'll be one or two of your guys getting into all the fights, like with me, it was either Nolan or Marchment throwing down the gloves. But I was surprised when Selanne and Damphousse decided to mix it up and were able to hold their own as well. Fights can win a game for you by knocking out the other team's best players.
The graphics are superior to NHL 2002, especially on the Xbox version, which has a few enhancements to make the game look better than its PS2 and GC counterparts.
You can also unlock a dozen new rinks to play in, as well as heritage jerseys, different teams, and different heads to put on custom teams' players.
You can make custom teams with accessories you buy in the Hockey Shop and play them against any other team, even win the Stanley Cup with.
Bottom line: unless you hate hockey or prefer realistic sports games, this game is well worth your money, especially if you get the Xbox version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Wonderful!, November 19, 2001
By Brett Fisher (Lake Elsinore, CA USA) - See all my reviews
NHL HITZ is a great game. When Ps2 came out the best sports games came out on launch. This is the same way. NHL HITZ is the best launch game. Along with halo it has great graphics, showing you just how powerfull it really is. I am not a big fan of Hockey, I don't obsess about watching it, but the games have always been the best. Look at n64's wayne gretzky, n64's 98 face off. Really good! Customize your own teams without even owning a memory card, you dont need one with the large internal memory. Make your own plans, when you get a hat trick your player catches on fire and becomes omnipotent. Hint: while replaying look closely at the crowd, they will display a code to put in during loading sequences... I have not seen what they all do yet, but they are helpful.. This game has replay value through the roof. Have fun spending hours at a time sucked into the black void in your tv with this really great game.
