Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Being huge hockey fans we were excited about playing the latest in the long line of EA's NHL series--but we must admit to being a little disappointed with this latest offering, as NHL 2003 in all truth is NHL 2002 plus a few shiny bits. The new features for 2003 are an improved franchise mode which has more of the hardcore managerial events to deal with, such as annual drafts, player waivers, more injuries and suspensions, and more Easter eggs and celebrations to unlock with the NHL cards rewards system. One major gameplay change has been added: the "Gamebreaker" is simply a power bar which slowly energizes as you play, and once full a quick button press will allow you to pull off some pretty funky moves. Also improved is the in-game physics--the puck now rebounds off defenders and sticks with more realism. Our main criticisms (and perhaps this is nit-picking) is that the overly comic commentators have really dumbed the game down, and that there are to! o many Matrix-style slow-motion effects.
NHL 2003 plays fantastically and is one of the finest sports games to grace TV screens anywhere; the presentation is top notch and most of the stats are up-to-date (although yet again many of the minor international squads still have imaginary players). But the new tweaks aren't really enough to justify shelling out full price if you already own last year's version--a lesson we hoped EA had learnt after finally getting FIFA right this time. If you're a NHL completist or a hockey fan, or have never played NHL before, then we recommend this game over any other. If you've already got NHL 2002 then make up your mind if you can do without this version's new features. --Laurent S Hall

What can i say about the fastest game on earth!,
By A Customer
This review is from: NHL 2003 (PS2) (Video Game)
NHL 2003 is a brilliant and excelerating game whether you start a franchise or go into the playoffs the game is still breathtaking. gameplay has improved and new stats and tricks have been added such as the gamebreaker mode which lets you break the game wide open giving great scoring chances the commentary is funny and exciting all the teams are there with their unique players. all i can say is no matter if your a novice or an expert the game is easy to pick up and is a challenge in difficult mode.

Best Hockey Game In The World !!!!,
This review is from: NHL 2003 (PS2) (Video Game)
NHL have always been quality games. I never liked ice hockey intill i brought nhl 2001 and that was brilliant. I decided to buy this it was even better outstanding graphics, gameplay and sound.The commentators round this game up nicely, after creating a player the commentator will say his name. Fast action pace skills required, full of excitement, fight away with one on one fights. Bodychecking your way though the stanley cup league and other torniments. All players all stats. Top Notch. Even if you dont like ice hockey try it! 10/10.
