  1. CNET Gamecenter
    80
    Improved graphics and new modes and characters are combined with solid gameplay that's been tweaked for the better to make for a dependable and entertaining sequel.
  2. Dreamcast HQ

    There's a few new boxers, and an enhanced move set. Past that, you'll find it's the same old game, in a new box.
  3. Total Video Games
    80
    All in all a nice little title which will keep most gamers amused.
  4. 77
    Round 2 improves every stylish aspect... but it's still made of the same stuff.
  5. For those of us who were big fans of the original game, the gameplay and presentation of R2RB: R2 are all too familiar, making the sequel seem like little more than a simple roster update.
  6. Sega X
    76
    Nothing but a child's vinegar and baking soda volcano.
  7. Great graphics and animation alone can't save this punch-drunk sequel.
  8. Spank!
    7
    Its shallow nature may also put people off, but it's a laugh for everyone in multiplayer.
  9. A sequel that delivers more, but not quite enough.
  10. Daily Radar
    50
    Plenty of flash, spectacle and new features... but so little meat to carve a proper meal from.
  11. Owners of the original, however, have little reason to upgrade -- unless the idea of beating a virtual Michael Jackson to a bloody pulp is just too juicy for you to pass up.
  12. More of the same delicious cake but with new frosting.
  13. An arcade game, plain and simple. Unfortunately, that just doesn't cut it with today's console systems.
