As if hockey needed anymore "hitz".
Midway Sports announced today that NHL Hitz Pro shipped today for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox video game system from Microsoft and Nintendo GameCube.
Nationwide focus testing of sports videogamers produced a clear message: gamers applaud the Midway Sports trademark arcade-style gameplay and intense action but also want to experience their favorite teams, players, and stadiums in an authentic professional sports context. Midway answered the call by taking NHL Hitz in a new direction.
Officially licensed by the NHL and the NHLPA and featuring real NHL teams and athletes, NHL Hitz Pro retains the well-known Midway Sports “edge,” but with a new emphasis on realistic NHL features such as 5-on-5 gameplay (including goalies), league penalties and violations, and live online gameplay for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system.
