NHL Hitz 20-02 (sometimes called NHL Hitz 2002) is an arcade-style ice hockey videogame released by Midway. Midway launched this game along with NFL Blitz. The game was a launch title for the Nintendo Gamecube and was also released on Xbox and PlayStation 2. It differs from EA Sports' traditional NHL games in that it does not try to accurately simulate real-life ice hockey. The rules are much more relaxed and the attributes of players dramatically increased, giving the game its arcadey feel. The game is most notable for its use of a limited number of players (three skaters on the ice at any time plus one goaltender, with only 7 total players to choose from).
