Hitz, like all Midway's action-sports games, is extremely easy to pick up and play. It has shoot, pass, and check buttons, as well as a turbo button that enhances your shooting, passing, and checking abilities. The game puts four players on a team (one center, two wings, and your goalie) and lets you switch between the different players at will. The game's arcade roots translate into an extremely offense-heavy game, filled with blistering slap shots and tricky one-timers. Expect end-of-game scores to end up somewhere in the mid-teens. Like in Midway's other sports games, it's possible to power up your team by scoring three goals in a row. While most of Midway's games call this effect being "on fire," Hitz, like Midway's Arena Football game before it, electrifies your players with lightning bolts that shoot down from the sky.
