91The graphics and audio track are superb, and the player interface, with its customizable game play options, all add up for one amazing and enjoyable experience.

88Offers an incredibly fun and addictive vision of hockey.
-
85Basically, everything I could ask for in a hockey game is here. Unfortunately, it has been here for a few years now, and it just isnt as exciting as it used to be.
-
84It continues a long-standing tradition by offering just enough in the way of improvements to warrant at least a cursory glance from past customers.

72The problem with NHL 2003 is that it's fun, but it just ain't hockey...I'm 30 games into the season, and I have yet to lose one...with the difficulty at Highest. [Dec 2002, p.114]
-
Fans will love it, but there's no harm with sticking with previous games in the NHL series.

67Its not sim enough to match up with Segas offering, and Midway has a faster, more fun arcade hockey game in NHL Hitz.

60Despite the many little changes, improvements, and false steps, this year's game is still as disappointing as last year's, albeit in different ways, and with more obvious flaws that take less time to annoy the player.
-
The A.I. in this year's version is so lame, it may be a step backward. [Feb 2003, p.90]
-
Although the anhancements are certainly welcome, spotty AI and blatant computer cheating make it impossible to appreciate the game as a whole. [Jan 2003, p.84]
