Amazon.com Review

Realistic gameplay combined with total control over your team make Sega's NHL 2K3 the game of choice for serious hockey fans. The game captures all the intricacies of the NHL from the furious, hard-hitting action on the ice to the day-to-day decisions made in the front office. Don't like the production you're getting out of one of your players? Send him down to the minors for a few weeks of seasoning to get his game in order. Prefer high-scoring shootouts or 1-0 grind-it-out defensive struggles? Tweak the game's highly customizable AI to set things just the way you like them. Regardless of your preferences, NHL 2K3 delivers the goods to make this more than a passable hockey sim.

Like most of Sega's recent sports releases, NHL 2K3 hangs its hat on stellar gameplay and sweet graphics. Little, if anything, is overlooked: players move and react much like their real-life counterparts--goalies are especially acrobatic; the puck seamlessly glides, flips, and bounces around the rink and off the posts and goalie's pads; players can be pinned to the boards during a scramble for the puck; missed shots are covered up by a diving goalie or slapped in off ensuing rebounds; arenas are painstakingly re-created and feature music and sounds specific to each one. Off the ice, there's plenty of options to tinker with and ways to strategize. NHL 2K3 boasts over 30 sliders to alter effects ranging from ice friction to referee collisions. And, of course, there's the franchise mode that allows up to 250 years of dynasty building. --Larry White

Note: This review refers to the PlayStation2 version of this game.



Amazon.com Product Description

Sega Sports NHL 2K3 delivers player realism down to size, skill, and behavior, resulting in individuals that exhibit lifelike styles of play. The all-new franchise mode lets you capitalize on player accuracy to develop a team that plays your brand of hockey: you can draft hotshot rookies, trade for players who complement your team, and compensate for injured players. You can also put that precision to work on the ice by anchoring lines with key players and rotating those lines to create the matchups you want. The game also features a new ESPN broadcast system, so scores and highlights are presented in the network's characteristic style.

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY...Real Hockey!, November 22, 2002
By Derrick (Indianapolis, IN) - See all my reviews
If you're sick of the arcade-style hockey that EA Sports has been putting out over the last few years, do yourself a favor and get NHL 2K3. I've been playing video game hockey since 1992's "NHL Hockey" for sega genesis, and this is what we've all been waiting for! In this game you have to use strategy to even start a rush into the opposition's zone, and the goalies will stone-wall you the same as their NHL counterparts will. This game is hockey in it's truest form ever on video game! All the arena's have been perfectly depected, as well as each team's actual goal horn! This combined with an ESPN National Hockey night interface, and you've got the perfect game to keep every hockey fan busy until NHL 2K4 comes out!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is REAL hockey!!!, January 27, 2003
By Jeff S. Hutcheson (Douglasville, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been playing hockey games on the PC and on consoles since NHL95. Until now I have not found a console game I could tolerate. I have now found it! NHL 2k3 is the closest to real hockey I have ever played. What makes a game good is flexibility. The sliders in this game make it fun for anyone. The designers have given us the ability to modify the AI even after starting a season, franchise, or even in the middle of a game. You can tweek this baby until you find the right skill level for you. The controls are more like that of the PC. I can chose the setup that lets me use the right trigger for speed burst, to me that's the only way it can be done comfortably. There are just too many good things to mention about this game so I will just finish by saying...EA Sports has just fallen way behind. This game sets the standard for video hockey games.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't walk.. RUN and get this game., November 24, 2002
By Christopher M. Greeney (Oswego, NY United States) - See all my reviews
I was a longtime fan of the EA NHL series ever since the Sega Genesis days.

Well, ever since NHL 2000, the EA series has definately taken a turn for the worse. With Sega NHL 2K series on the Sega Dreamcast, I saw major potential for greatness. The greatness has finally arrived in the form of Sega NHL 2K3.

Treyarch has delivered the defining experience of the game of hockey right down to the little details. Player movement is as it should be, every pass isn't perfect as in the EA series.. it's all based on your speed and timing. Board pinning gives the game a whole new experience to hockey gaming in corner fights for the puck. The game handles very fluid and will keep you in amazement for hours at all the detail that was put into this game.

Couple this game with X-Box Live and you have the best sports game to date. Pick this up if you're remotely into sports or are a huge hockey fan in general. You won't be sorry!
