clrockny24 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 This has to be one of my favorite games of all time. So much fun. It's an arcade style hockey game, and I realize some people may not like that here, but the game's definetly worth your time. The gameplay is fast and loaded with big hitz, unlike hitz 2003, which was toned down a bit, and more "real." There's a franchise, take a team, and use players with crappy stats and build them up. A championship where you choose an Nhl team and take them to the cup. There's trivia after every game. It's a blast. with the credits you earn by playing exhibition or championship mode, you can buy old time jerseys, special arenas and teams, and heads. You could play as the avalanche in quebec nordiques uniforms versus the snowmen at the disco or actual sharks versus San Jose sharks on a pirate ship. The graphics are really good, and there is even a skills challenge. Check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smozoma Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 If I don't have a PS2, what are my options for playing this game? A PS2 emulator? it's on xbox as well, but i'm guessing you don't have one. might be backwards compatible on the xbox 360? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnybrook Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 it's on xbox as well, but i'm guessing you don't have one. might be backwards compatible on the xbox 360? not backwards compatible. hitz 03 and pro are but not 2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrockny24 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 It's also on gamecube, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kudelski Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 On Gamecube? Hmmm, maybe I could find a copy to play on my Wii then.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halifax Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 hey bob, do you have a 360 or ps3? have you tried EA's 3 on 3 nhl arcade? I looks like it might have a similar feel to nhlhitz. I've played it and find it to be a ton of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kupuck19 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) hey bob, do you have a 360 or ps3? have you tried EA's 3 on 3 nhl arcade? I looks like it might have a similar feel to nhlhitz. I've played it and find it to be a ton of fun. My buddy had the EA NHL 3on3 demo downloaded from xbox live arcade.. 2v2 on this game will keep you busy for hours. Hitz 2002 was ok, definitely the best of the NHL Hitz series... To be honest I felt the game to get boring after awhile. While massive hits, fights, and "being on fire" are fun it doesn't seem to have the creative/realistic game play to keep me coming back to it.

Bo Knows NHL94 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 hell yeah, this is the best hockey game other than 94 in my book! I still play my gamecube copy on my wii occasionally! The create-a-team thing was really cool. Not to mention one of the names the announcer can call your player is "Bo" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Still play all the Hitz games. They are so much fun. Hitz Pro goalies and scoring are the best ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayLighter420 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 i spent a whole night tryin to emulate hitz a few weeks ago. couldnt get anything workin after hours of downloadin and tryin all types of s**t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraizer33 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 03 was nice. Hitz Pro was just...odd :\ i liked everything about it but once you got on the ice and played, it just didn't feel right. Next Level Games couldn't carry on what Black Box did, and btw R.I.P. Midway. oh sweet jesus if we could play some online leagues with Hitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdeathsbloodx Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hitz was awesome. The gamecube version was actually really good, better than the ps2 version in my opinion (steadier framerate, faster loads) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kudelski Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I've never played any of the Hitz games but from what I gather, Hitz Pro (with Lidstrom on the front) is not great because it's 5 on 5 and they tried to make it more realistic. But between, NHL Hitz 2002 and 2003, which is better? Is 2002 actually better, because I've read that they're essentially the same, but 2003 is a bit improved in many ways? I wouldn't mind picking one up for Gamecube to play on my Wii.. they're like $8 online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomKabs93 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 As stupid as it sounds, i dont like the hitz games because you cant aim your shots. Sounds dumb in arcade hockey but it annoys me too much lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdeathsbloodx Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 I dunno, I wanna say 2003 was better but they were both very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraizer33 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 id love both 2002 and 2003. i would prefer the more updated roster but nothing wrong with fantasy drafts =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smozoma Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 I remember playing and enjoying this on xbox, but can't remember if it was 2002 or 2003. I also played it on the Gamecube and it wasn't nearly as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
