While the quest can be played single-player, it's meant to be tackled by a group of people (preferably four). Since each player utilizes menu screens often, Square and Game Designer's Studio decided that you could only play multiplayer with a Game Boy Advance attached to the GameCube. Hence, all menu management is done on the GBA screen, and the action on the TV is unaffected. In theory, this is a just solution. As it turns out, though, I found it to be more detrimental to the quest than anything.

Our main criticisms (and perhaps this is nit-picking) are that the overly comic commentators have really dumbed the game down and that there are too 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 learned after finally getting FIFA right this time. If you’re an 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 you can do without this version's new features. -Laurent S. Hall This hockey sim has a number of detailed control features. User-activated dekes give you full control of the puck, for example, and when you build enough momentum, the action slows in key moments. A new graphics and animation engine means NHL action comes to life as never before. There are also new puck physics and goalie AI, so the players and puck respond more accurately to your actions. There are four game modes, a create-a-player feature, real on-ice sounds, and dynamic camera work.

Other game modes include exhibition, season, World Series, home-run derby, and batting practice. Seven authentic stadium camera angles give you a TV broadcast view. Features exclusive to the GameCube version of All-Star Baseball 2002 include two new stadiums-Safeco Field in Seattle as outfitted for the 2001 All-Star Game and Puerto Rico Stadium-and features updated graphics for many other stadiums, including PNC Park, Miller Park, and Oakland Coliseum. You can now change fielders and control checked swings. There is an all-new CPU defensive assist option and broken bat technology.
