The alternatives split into a few clear camps: Mario Lemieux Hockey leans on a variety of distinct game modes such as tournament and shootout; NHL Hitz 2003 emphasizes massive local party play with support for up to six players split‑screen; Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey '98 is chosen for its authentic NHL rosters and real player names; NHL Hitz 2002 focuses on deep franchise customization through a full franchise mode and attribute upgrades.
