  • 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

    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]

    Overall, this is a decent, efficient addition to the genre, with a few good additions here and there for hardcore fans while the game's accessibility makes it a fine starting point for newcomers.

    By 'refocusing' the game to concentrate on the more realistic side of the sport, Hitz Pro takes the series down a new path that loses any sense of identity that it might have made for itself. [Dec 2003, p.124]

    This year NHL Hitz forced me to return EA's and Sega's games - it's the best hockey game I've seen since NHL '94 for the Genesis.… Expand

    I've played EA hockey from 97 to 2004, this is easily the most fun hockey game I've played...
