Rather than being an average game with its share of reasons not to like it, Rocky is a game whose shortcomings are why it isn't a "great" game in its own right.
-
A title that any Rocky fan (or even boxing fans in general) must have, even if the actual game itself has some pretty nasty flaws.
-
Entertainment WeeklyWe have to deduct points for the game's flaccid fighting engine, which looks awfully similar to "Ready to Rumble Boxing" and becomes repetitive after about three bouts. [15 Nov 2002, p.144]
-
Completely spoiled by a few major problems, the worst of which makes it possible to get by opponents using only one button.
-
Just another fighting game, with none of the special appeal of a classic like "Street Fighter." The opponents fight in much the same manner with little variation, and even at the higher levels, the game is far too easy.
