  • Summary: NHL Hitz Pro mixes a hard-hitting blend of NHL authenticity and adrenaline-style gameplay with real five-on-five NHL hockey. While huge hits and rocket goals are common, the games still follows all NHL penalties from offsides and two-line passing to holding and cross-checking. Choose from 23-man NHL player rosters to play in a variety of real stadiums. Practice your skills in the retooled Hockey School mode, and then build your own dynasty in Franchise mode. You can also play head-to-head online or set up a tournament for up to 16 teams. Expand

  1. I truly love this game. It has everything a hockey fan could want. From the improved animations to the great Franchise mode to the great Pick Up and Play mode, NHL Hitz Pro is a necessary purchase. [Oct 2003, p.84]

    Addictively fun as a multiplayer game, and tricked-out with enough new modes and Franchise options to make the single player experience enjoyable, Hitz Pro delivers on its promise.
  3. It's not as crazy or as outrageous, which might seem a little strange after seeing the direction the game was going in. But once you play NHL Hitz Pro, even for only a few minutes, you'll see that the developers have taken the series in the right direction.
  4. The franchise may not be as wacky as before, nor as realistic as the competition, but it hits hard, doesn't let up, and is great entertainment for a group of friends looking for something less simmy and more instantly accessible.
