  • Summary: In the world of NHL Hitz 20-03, hard-checking and highlight-reel action is common. This year's installment in the action-packed NHL Hitz series showcases three-on-three gameplay with players who leap, glide, check, pass, and score on defenders. New features include a deeper New Season mode, player trades, a playoff tree, and official NHL awards. The game also boasts bigger, stronger, and faster players, plus improved goalie logic, behavior, animations, and control, making it tougher to score. Expand

  1. The shortcomings in the PS2 version have been ironed out on the Xbox, leaving hockey gamers everywhere with the best arcade style hockey game to date.
  2. An amazing step forward for the Hitz franchise, as Black Box did an incredible job with the visuals and audio to make this the best game Midway has to offer.

    It's still just smack-you-down arcade hockey, but the new additions are fantastic.
  4. Unless you have some pals to play with, Hitz will wear out its welcome due to a lack of strategic depth. [Winter 2002, p.105]

    The fast paced, aggressive style of this game puts it far beyond NHL 2003.
