Rating: - Best Playability of any Hockey Game
Complaints I have with other hockey games like EA Sports and Fox Sports titles is that they are either too easy or too hard. This game allows an amazing amount of customization of the difficulty so you can apply a little more difficulty to offset something you are really good at when you want more of a challenge.
I have seen some complaints about the fantasy aspects of NHL Hitz but I think they add a lot of fun to the game. I also like the fact that you play 3-on-3 (plus goaltender). That really opens up the ice for some beauty goals and spectacular hits.
This game is just too fun to miss!
Rating: - Awesome hockey game!
NHL Hitz 2003 is the best hockey game i have ever played. Its fun and the hitting is awesome. The graphics are sweet and the controls rock! The hitz are really cool, a little unrealistic but just enough to make it fun over regular hockey games. Also you arent really pestered by too many peneltys but a few obvious ones to keep it real. Also the graphics are really good you can really see the hockey players fly through the glass on hard hitting checks like your there! Over all I give it an A+.

The game at first is pretty fun--I like how you can get in goalie fights and check the goalie. The graphics are excellent--each individual players face look exactly like the actual player. The pronounciation of the players names are TERRIBLE. They can pronounce some of the more difficult names, but can't pronounce simple names such as Roy (Wah), etc... The mini games, heads, names of created teams, etc... are really corny, making this game seem to be more for a five-year-old. The game gets boring quick. The game being a checking and fighting game, with no actual rules of the game of hockey in it, makes it very irritating--such as icing, tripping, etc...
Rating: - Awesome Game
This is probably the best NHL game on GameCube right now, its fun and easy to play! The only draw back is only being able to have one season going at a time, however the non stop hitting and fun with the game overcomes that one little problem! I would recommend the Hitz game over any of the other 2003 NHL games!
Rating: - BUY THE GAME
Don't let the "2002 version is better" reviews. I played this game last night and I bought it a couple of hours ago, I have played 2001, 2002, and 2003. BUY 2003 VERSION. Sometimes you could call this game "War" because if you turn penaltys off you can check to your heart's content. Last night at my friends house we got 233 checks in a game! This game isn't about checking though (even though when people ask me how to steal I tell them "X") this game is perfect for hardcore hockey fans. This game is so in depth that you can change equitment! Favorite game ever. Parents, buy it for your kids, kids, beg your parents or buy it yourself. g2g bye!
