First off, all of the players look like they were made out of about 34 polygons. This game looks almost as bad as Sega’s putrid Virtua Fighter (not the later re-mix) for the Saturn. This doesn’t even look like a first generation game to me. Pure Polygon Poop.
Not only do the characters look poor, but they all move as though they were sucker punched by Tyson for about 20 minutes before entering the ring. If you ever connect a punch it will feel as though you were hitting some guy made out of 34 polygons with a pillow. Real power! We are talking sluggish, folks. No matter what kind of punch you do, it feels like it’s actually YOU throwing the punch rather than Sugar Ray or Ali. That just ain’t right.
The create a player feature is fun, but doesn’t add much to the gameplay once you get your Frankenstein into the ring, because he’s as slow as ever. It certainly isn’t worth the price of admission thanks to the overall package.
If you are a real boxing and buff and actually care about who could beat who, this is about your only chance to do it. Just don’t expect it to be much fun. In this day and age with fighting games like the Tekken series, Virtua Fighter, Street Fighter etc. It would appear that plain old boxing is just, well....plain old. Not recommended.
