I pity the fool who doesn't at least consider renting it.
-
Game InformerI didn't think a side-scrolling boxing game would work in this day and age, but Rocky comes through as a solid, if unspectacular, GBA title. [Jan 2003, p.122]
-
Overall I was quite impressed. I would very much like to see another game like it, but with a lot more difficulty.
-
The computer cheats in a rather spectacular fashion, particularly in movie mode.
-
This is clearly not the best-looking fight program for this console, but it is very challenging and entertaining.
-
Nintendo PowerAfter each match, you can undergo training and build your fighter's strength, stamina and endurance. [Feb 2003, p.162]
-
Rocky isn't a great boxing game, and it doesn't quite deliver the same level of excitement as the films it's based on.
-
In light of Rocky for the big three consoles and titles like "Knockout Kings," it's disheartening to see the art of boxing reduced to such a trivial exercise.
-
Pocket GamesA great way to experience the Rocky story, but not really a good boxing game. [Spring 2003, p.38]
-
The combination of slow and sloppy gameplay and an unusual assortment of bugs makes it impossible to play this game with any kind of skill or strategy.
