  • Summary: NHL® Hitz 20-02 is an all-new adrenaline-style, 4-on-4 hockey videogame. In true NHL® fashion, players skate full-speed into the boards to retrieve a loose puck, sacrifice their bodies by sliding in front of a 125MPH slapshot and throw down their gloves to defend their team. NHL® Hitz 20-02 features an interactive 3D crowd that reacts based on the action on the ice - crowds will bang on the glass, throw hats on ice and walk out on bad games.… Expand

    This is a terrific blend of arcade-style gaming (as in with the players steaming and bursting into flame) and straight-ahead sports simulation.

    I personally recommend the Xbox version above all others because it happens to sport lightning fast loading, benefits greatly from the built-in harddrive, and the graphics are a bit better.

    The enjoyment NHL Hitz 2002 deteriorates rather quickly due to its negligible computer AI and simplistic gameplay, but if you're looking for some quick-hit fun from your hockey games, it's an excellent choice.

    It's NHL Blitz. This game resembles NHL rock the Rink in nearly every way except in this game the shots are realistic.

    I love this game and it's so fun. It's way better than NHL 2002. It doesn't really get easy.
