Action is fast paced and fluid. Graphics are pretty darn sharp for a PS2 game. As the name suggests, you gotta learn to hit and poke check early or the AI will eat you alive. Playing on Rookie setting, slow pace, and still struggling to beat the AI. Must master the art of the deke, puck protect, one-timer, wrist shot, slap shot, dump in, fake shot to score. Opposing goalie is good, but so is yours. Lay players out with a cross check or knock them through the glass! Have your players catch fire or become energized by lighting! Announcer voice is exciting and lets you know when you can energize/catch fire! Tons of cool, historic, funny, kooky unlockables to find. A must have for any NHL PS2 fan.

There are few sports games I genuinely enjoy playing, but Midway, with its easy to pick-up-and-play formula has brought me into the world of football and now hockey. NHL Hitz 20-03 offers a couple fun, surprisigly deep, and customizable single player modes, while continuing to deliver its addictive multi-player games. I would only add that the models and textures, and the backgrounds and special effects are better than many hockey games out there. This is one pretty game.
NHL HITZ 2003 is quite possibly the greatest game in the universe, even the parts of the universe we haven't yet seen. If you had the choice to ride a dinosaur or play NHL HITZ 2003, you'd be a huge fool to ride a dinosaur instead of playing Gods gift to humanity. It has everything you can think of, plus more...really...it offers more than your imagination could handle! The pelvis breaking HITZ that are made in this game make you feel like your in a futuristic virtual hockey simulator! My Skates go off to MIDWAY, I often cry from joy from playing this game. Dont have any friends? Well that sucks, but you can still play some massive ONE PLAYER modes in this. Got Friends? GOOD FOR YOU! Challenge your weak spirited friends to a game of HITZ and watch them have a brain hemorrhage from the intense action! One negative is that I've gotten too swept up in the "life changing" awesomeness of the game, and ive accidentally stepped on my cat while celebrating a goal. The cat was okay. ALSO, you can create a character, something ive never seen in any game before or after this game was made. ONE OF A KIND TECHNOLOGY! Most people like to make themselves as created characters, but if you hate yourself, you can use all kinds of zainy characters like; pirates, knights, clowns, and mosquito eaters! Take that $75 you were gonna spend on God of War 3, throw away all but $3, and BUY YERSELF A COPY OF NHL HITZ 2003! FORK YEAH!Read full review
