NHL Hitz 20-02

NHL HITZ Graphics: (180-200)  If I could say it in two words that would be great but I cant so here it is "It supercalifragalisticexpialidosius". Oh wait that is two words.  You can tell this game is great just from the backside of the cover.  Not many sports games top this.  Peoples eyes, mouths, and noses...Everything is exact.  Control: (190-200)  The controls are great for an arcade type game but if you're the I want the realistic type stuff kinda guy youll feel strange.  They wont turn like real people they will make crazy turns on the spot.  Otherwise they are great for moving around the ice in a quick fashion. Story: (180-200) There isnt one.  However there are lots of different modes to play.  Such as Franchise. Here you will take a custom team that you made and will play with them through a 50 game season to win the Midway Cup.  Then there is the Championship Mode. Here you will take a team of your choice play a full season of games and go for the Stanley Cup. Sound: (200-200)  The sweet sound of putting a guy up over the glass or bench is great.  When you actually see and hear it its great. Your skates will make the sound of churning ice when using the turbo button(R or L).  The… actuallly I will leave this section of this review for you to fiind out since its so great. Gameplay: (200-200)  Going through the boards or making the greatest save or even deking the goalie where he looks like he went on one too many roller coaster rides is fun right there. When you get to the part where you can create your own team that's a lot of fun.  I prefer strange heads on my players(which you can buy in the Hockey Shop).  The scoring can get out of hand but its cool to see a game where the score isnt always  1-0. Overall: (970-1000)  Definitely a buyer.  This is one of the best for all systems.  Just try one game of hard hitting action and youll be hooked.  -John/Hambone
