NHL Hitz 2003
Overall: This game is for fans of hockey that love to see hard hitting combined with amazing finese. The fun factor is very high, especially when you play against your friends. This is the ultimate in arcade style hockey. If you buy this game thinking it will be at all realistic, then this game is not for you. Overall, this game is just flat out fun to play.Gameplay: The gameplay is fast, but has been slowed down from 2002. This makes cycling the puck and defense more important aspects. Don't expect to score 10 goals on one-timers, the way you could in 2002. The gamplay is a bit more realistic, but still NHL Hitz to the core. The controls are solid and very responsive. Midway even added a few more functions to more utilize the X-Box controler.
Graphics: Visually this game is great. Most of the players look just like the real-deal, with actual player faces a new feature. The arenas are bigger and packed with more fans and more details. In franchise mode, you can equip your custom team with various articles of equipment from such manufactureres as Bauer, CCM, Itec, Louisville, and mouch more. This adds a very fun dimension to the game, as better pieces of equipment provide better skill boosts and keep things interesting.
Audio: The sound is as good as ever. Teeth-rattling checks, blistering slapshots, and fitting music make you feel the action. The cheesey over-the-top play-by-play man brings an element of fun to the game and emphasizes the arcade-style gameplay.
Suggestions: Vary the crowds a bit more. While they are definitely better than 2002, they could be better. Work to make all of the players a perfect epitomy of their real-life counterparts. It was obvious Colorado received some extra attention while other players didn't quite resemble who they should. And finally, keep up the good work!

NFL Fever 2002
Overall: NFL Fever 2002 is overall a fun game, but I certainly don't feel I got my money's worth. While it's game play is great as far as football games go, it lack the realism I've come to expect from sports games. The overall quality of this game could be very much improved.Gameplay: Gameplay is good and handles in pretty much the same manner as any other football game. I especially liked the ability to see an overhead view of the route each receiver was going to make. The players have a nice variety of movements during plays and makes for fun game play.
Graphics: NFL Fever lacks the realism and polished feel that a game on such a powerful system should have. While nobody has nailed it perfectly quite yet, the players just didn't seem real enough. Some of the animation was jerky or too fluid, making it feel very unrealistic. The players don't look like their real-life counter parts, and there is a noticeable lack of variety in the players actions when they're standing around between plays.
Audio: The sound also lacks impact. Everything the announcers say sounds spliced, overly rehearsed, and lacks variety. While some might find the announcers in NHL 2002 annoying after a while, they at least make it feel like you're acctually watching a real game. The announcers in NFL Fever lack this emotion and fun. The sound effects are of good quality and add realism that other part of the game lack.
Overall Score: 6.0 / 10
