Video Game Reviews of NHL Hitz Pro
Customer Review: NHL Hitz Pro
Summary: 4 Stars
If you're not sure which Hockey game to start with I can recommend this one whole heartedly. It was one of my first XBox games and my first hockey game. I particularly liked the ease of use and realism of play and the announcers add a little fun to the game.
A must for every Xbox game is having an easy to understand tutorial that can quickly prepare you to play the game. NHL Hitz Pro was easy to figure out and had some fun features to make the game more enjoyable.
After several years of playing the EASports NHL 99 cd-rom on my computer this was a definite step up. My biggest complaint with the computer software was the choppiness of the play. You won't have anything like that here.
The player movement is realistic with the extra excitement of increasing the hitting power to watch players being knocked head over heels. I particularly liked the ease of use. It was nice to have automatic rebounding for the guys that are close to the net. For instance, if you took a wrist or slapshot and there happened to be another one of your players close to the net, then that player, who is also included in the play, will take a rebound shot that sometimes goes in. The transition between each play is good and you can add your own music soundtrack which is fun.
There are multiple levels of play with or without rules, setting up your own franchise (very fun), and even a place to play on the pond.
The only negatives I could find came from playing this game a lot. It would be more like suggestions for the producer of these games (Midway). If you play the game long enough you will find the same way to score every time. That cuts down on the creativity but it can still be fun. The fights are unnecessary but better than other versions I've tried. The last suggestion would be to make the speed burst available on the trigger so your thumb doesn't get so tired.
If you like this game you will love ESPN NHL 2K5. EA Sports has some great ideas but their version of hockey on the Xbox is still not fluid enough for me to enjoy. I am looking forward to Midway's next hockey game.
