    With nothing beyond the gameplay to support it, and weak gameplay at that, I can’t recommend Black & Bruised.

    All the young pretender could do was look prettier, and show off his facial damage. No contest. He got a damn good beasting that day, and every day there after.

    The control system is well thought out with each button throwing a particular punch, but forget any tactical or statistical considerations before entering the ring.

    Control is also woefully imprecise, to the point where combos can seem time-delayed a second or more.

    The real problem is the gameplay itself. Stiff, unresponsive, and devoid of any real skill or purpose, a typical session of B&B quickly degenerates into a contest as to who can tap the buttons before the other guy. [Mar 2003, p.42]
