Developed by the accomplished hockey development team Black Box, NHL Hitz 20-02 brings the realism of over-the-top hockey action to players in stunning detail, with rich animations and robust player models. NHL Hitz 20-02 features lightning-fast gameplay, play-by-play commentary and a 'never-before-seen' interactive 3D crowd. The crowd will do the wave, react to the action in their specific sections of the arena and increase and decrease in size between periods depending on the importance of the game and the score. Gamers will definitely feel the burn of a 125MPH slap shot as the frenzied fans heckle them from the bleachers. In true NHL fashion, players skate full-speed into the boards to retrieve a loose puck, sacrifice their bodies by sliding in front of a 125MPH slapshot and throw down their gloves to defend their team. NHL Hitz 20-02 also features Midway's classic 'on-fire' mode, where players will literally catch fire and become unstoppable. Players will have the chance to play as their favorite NHL star presented in amazing detail with real player stats and attributes. Shatter the boards and slice through the net in 30 arenas with 12-15 unique and hidden fantasy rinks and unlockable secret players and teams. Mini games with authentic NHL super skills competitions help players hone their skills before games, while multiplayer hockey allows gamers to battle it out head-to-head. Gamers can also create the ultimate ice warrior with the Create-A-Player feature.
