Pros: Good "Create Team" function, solid play. Cons: Announcer gets kinda annoying, need color edit for custom team. Goals seem random.
A long, long time ago, the best hockey game out there was Konami's Blades of Steel. It was awesome in the same way Tecmo Bowl was the greatest football game ever made. It had been a long, long time coming before any game was able to make...
Pros: You create not only your own player but your own TEAM!!! Cons: Only 3 skaters on the ice for each team. Graphics lack thereof
Introduction
A buddy of mine recently let me borrow his Playstation 2 while he studied for his college finals. I gladly took up the offer to goof off on NHL Hitz 2002 and Grand Tourismo 3 (a later review). Quickly I became suckered into...
Pros: Easy to play; lots to unlock; great sound effects; impressive graphics; BIG hits! Cons: Some frame rate problems; cheap AI at times
Midway has not had much success with their arcade sports titles recently. NFL Blitz 2001 and NBA Hoopz each had their respective problems; Blitz tried too hard to be more of a sim than an arcade game, and Hoopz unsuccessfully tried to change Midway's...
Pros: The best hockey game ever made for PS2. Cons: Loading time, and you might get sick of the game quickly.
The other day, I went over to my friend's house and noticed that he was playing some hockey game on PS2. I looked over, and one of his players was engulfed in flames. I asked him why his guy was flaming, and he said that he was on fire. I asked how he...
Pros: Lots of Action; Many different teams and competitive modes; Fun Cons: Graphics aren't superb; Not all players on teams are included
NHL Hitz 2002 models after NFL Blitz in that it is unrealistic and much more crazy than the average sports game.
First of all, there is a lot more checking and fighting in this game than you'll see in a game like NHL 2002. Players are...
Bone Crushing hits, powerful punches, speeding slap shots. What more can you ask from a hockey game. NHL Hitz 2002 is adrenaline hockey, featuring the best hockey gameplay out there. This is one of the most exciting, action packed hockey games ever made...
Pros: Pure fun and excitement that will appeal to more than just hockey fans. Cons: Not for serious simulation folks.
NHL Hitz is not really a simulation of hockey, it is a arcade version of hockey. Now that is not bad mind you. It just depends on what you want and expect out of the game. If youre a huge hockey nut and want a game that simulates every aspect of...
Pros: 30 arenas, Fantasy stadiums, Hidden players,High powered plays,and Fully 3D interactive crowd.
Cons: Control bit complex, stadiums bit small.
The gameplay in Hitz is of the high octane, ultra adrenalin pumping variety. Right from the start you can tell this is not a sim game. Only 3 players grace each team in addition to a goalie. Also the fact that referees are completely absent should be...
Pros: Fast Arcade Gameplay, 3DFX Quality Graphics, Good Party Game Cons: 1 Player mode kinda dull, some slowdown
I'll start off by saying, I am definatly NOT a sports fan. Sure, I'm always up for a game of Madden 2002, NFL Blitz any good sports game, but I just can't stand to watch this stuff on TV. Hockey especially. This game on the other hand, totally blew me...
