About this product
Product Information
In the tradition of NBA Hoopz and NFL Blitz comes this Midway Sports Asylum interpretation of pro ice hockey. In NHL Hitz 2002, Xbox gamers take control of a team of four players consisting of a goalie, a center, and two wings. The game is designed to focus more on the action of the sport, instead of burdening players with line changes and penalties.
When in possession of the puck a variety of moves are available, including slap shots, one-timers, and special moves unique to each player. By scoring three times in succession, the character becomes "on-fire" and is imbued with enhanced abilities until the opposing team scores. Fights can also break out if the player is excessively aggressive.
In addition to all of the officially licensed teams and home arenas, the title features several fantasy locations, one example being an Egyptian-themed arena. NHL Hitz 2002 offers a create-a-player feature and several mini-games in addition to exhibition and season modes. In-game commentary is performed by the same announcer present in Midway's NFL Blitz series.
NHL Hitz 2002
I played Hitz 2002 briefly after getting it for christmas. This was after I had already played NHL Hitz 20-03.
I like Hitz 2002, but it just doesn't compare to 20-03. The gameplay is pretty much the same, but NHL Hitz 20-03 is better in every category.
Final Verdict:
4/5
Rent or Buy?: Don't Buy Hitz 2002. If you want a HITZ game, get NHL Hitz 20-03, it is the best game in the series by far.
