    Tries its best to be the next Punch-Out!!, but it falls well short of the mark.

    A tremendously flawed product. Yet, there are many redeeming qualities to the game which hold great promise if developed properly in the future.

    A training mode is sorely needed, because it took me literally seven tries to get the first boxer to stay down on the canvas.

    Acclaim has taken the once-spellbinding formula and given it the full GBA treatment, creating a game that plays, looks, and sounds better. [Aug 2002, p.76]

    The challenging setup, bold graphics, lively characters and fun settings should score a knockout with boxing buffs. [Aug 2002, p.147]

    The biggest problem in Punch King is how shallow it is.
