Reception
Reception
NHL FaceOff 2003 received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[1]
IGN' Chris Roper said, "The career mode is there, but you have to actually play the game to use it. The game also supports eight players, but you'll have to find others who want to play it first."[5] GameSpot's Craig Beers said, "NHL FaceOff 2003 is a substandard hockey game [...] Everything this game tries to do is done better in other hockey games like EA's NHL series."[2]
