Rocky himself did not look right, his arms were to short and body was too small, and as for the fighting it was boring,there was not many punches you can do, and the sound effects sucked i was looking forward to this game,and i was very disapointed. i should have designed this game myself because it was missing so much. WASTE OF MONEY

This game is crap

I bought this game which turned out to be rubbish first of all the gameplay is sloppy and horrible the boxers look like apes.
THIS COULD BE AS I DONT LIKE OLD GAMES AND DONT WATCH BOXING BUT STILL LIKED KNOCKOUT KINGS AND READY TO RUMBLE.
IF YOU CANT PLAY THIS GAME WITH A FRIEND THEN DONT BOTHER GETTING IT.
I RENTED THIS GAME FOR 3 NIGHTS AND TOOK IT BACK ON THE FIRST NIGHT AND ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK.

If you MUST have a boxing game . . .

The first thing you will notice about the game is how ridiculously disproportionate the characters look. Wow, in a world of Dead or Alive Extreme Volley Ball, couldn't UBI Soft do better that this? Okay, but you get to beat up on Apollo Creed and all the other antagonists from the Rocky movies, so maybe there is something here. Not so. I was bored in minutes. With so many excellent fighting games out, how can one endure repeating a few simple moves? (Punch, punch, jab . . . jab, punch, punch.) It's pretty bad. And when you get hit hard, little blue start appear above your head. Once I got hit with a jab the stomach, and the character flipped up and around, and landed facing down on the mat. It was more like a move in professional wrestling. But hey, if you really want a boxing game, you might like it.

The images are bad, the way to fight too. This is not a good game, is bored. is better the Super Nintendo Myke Tyson Game in 1990. Don`t waist money. Choose another option.

After taking my kids through the Rocky series, we were pumped to go out and purchase the game. Only a few hours later, my 7 year old son was able to master the game on champion level. All it took was one button. He did not even understand the training menu. He was very under rated at the beginning of each fight and always came out a victor with using 1 button. I was hoping for more of a challenge.

This game is not very good, but it is okay. The graphics are good, but the game gets old after you win the extremely short movie mode. Overall this game is average. You are better off getting the victorious boxers game.

Pretty good, not the best

This game is pretty good, but it is certainly not the best it could be. This game has the "Good Things" and the Bad Things." I'll start with the good.
The Good Things
1.The graphics are good, but not the best. Some of the boxers are not as muscular as they should be, but the graphics aren't solid like The Legend of Zelda Windwaker.
2. The story is great. It basically follows the Rocky movie series. I do wish you could be boxers like Clubber Lang and Apollo Creed during movie mode.

3. Every button on the left control pad is a punch, and you can use the arrows and the "R1" button to combine with the other buttons to make a stronger or faster punch.
4. The variety of characters is amazing. Once you beat the game, there are many characters, such as Ivan Drago, you can be during exhibition mode. Now for the bad things.
The Bad Things
1. On movie mode, once you get to a certain point the game becomes virtually impossible. The beginning of the game through the Rocky IV part is no challenge.
2. It is really hard to gain points for strength, speed, stamina etc. unless you use auto train. The only easy one to gain points is for strength. You also lose points when you win a fight.
3. You almost always fight a boxer with points that exceed yours. But for me, stats doesn't really matter, because I kick their butts!
Those are really the goods and the bads about Rocky. If you are a huge Rocky fan, I definitely reccomend this game. If you are uncertain about the game, like I was, rent it first. Again, this isn't as good as it could be, but overall is a really good game.

ROCKY is rocky!

this game is rather ingenious, and i say that because no one ever thought to make a game out of such a sucessful linear non-star-wars or action/adventure movie. i rank this game w/ KO Kings 2002, i am a huge Rocky Balboa fan (Rocky: II;III;IV) anyway, i had some skepticism of this game because of The Mike Tyson game(awful!).

however this game is very promising,right now, i am in the movie mode and i have completed Rocky I, so now i am in Rocky II and darn-it it is gettin' crazy, the AI is really smart. the fighters at this point are alot smarter, they will try and trick you. you will be fighting in a round and you will be ahead, then the round is over, both fighters will get a score say rocky-10 and the other fighter-8, so your up by 2 points, well if you don't KO your opponent you will lose if you don't have more points than him. then the other guy starts to get a huge second wind and it's curtains for rocky. that is how you get tricked. one other thing that .... as you progress through the game is that you have to get your self up if you get knocked down (flaw) like in the Tyson Boxing game. another thing that stinks is this game fighting combos are pretty limited. i mean you start to get whaled on w/ the stronger fighters and all you have as a strategy is to 'bob-n-weave' and back away and sneak in some upper-cuts when you get a chance.

creativity, you don't find this in many fighting games, but this one has it. i love how the movie mode really correspondes w/ the movies. it is so neat, i won't spoil it, you just have to see for yourself. anyway, i will keep at it, i really want to beat this game, i beat KO kings w/ Joe Frazier to Ali and that wasn't easy, by the way i did it twice, so i hope that i can do it again w/ this one. i really recommend that people buy this game, because it has enough other stuff to keep gamers happy.

outta' 10, i gave it 8.2

Good, but there is room for improvement

Being that I am a Rocky fan, I wanted this game for x-mas. I enjoyed playing it. They got many of the movie locales down nicely and the main boxers from the film looked like they were supposed to. I also liked the fact they used actual boxer names from the film (they did cheat a little bit using 'Kofi Langton instead of Jeff Langton'). There would be a few things I would change. I think that any boxer should be allowed to compete in the movie mode, not just Rocky. Also the scoring was a little messed up as no round ever went under 10-8. Probably the toughest boxer to face in the movie mode is Tim Simms. I can't beat him without cheat codes. I liked all the made up locales like the 8 Ball Club, Liberty College, Big Rock Arena, and Titan Beach. This is a must for any Rocky fan, and better than some of the boxing games I've played in the past year or so.

GET THIS GAME!!

If you are a fan of the movies, you are going to love this game. It is difficult enough to be a chalange, yet the controlls are simple enough to be enjoyable. One of the best boxing sims i have ever played. The unique training mode really makes the game.
