    Hi, my name is Ronnie. And I wanted to ask specific questions, regarding the boxing game (for playstation 2 or x-box), knockout kings 2002. I loved the graphics and the realism placed in the video game. But my questions are, why isn't their more fighters? If you look at today's boxers, whether their retired, about to retire, or prolong their careers. You will see, they have Hi, my name is Ronnie.

But my questions are, why isn't their more fighters? If you look at today's boxers, whether their retired, about to retire, or prolong their careers. You will see, they have anywhere from 37-40-45-49-52-55- or 60 fights, to there credit. I think alot of boxing fans feel this way, that there isn't enough fights for there created boxers, on the game. I would like to add, only as a suggestion, that their should be, twenty rookie fighters, beat them, be placed in the top 10, beat them have a run for the title, beat the champion, and defend your title 10 times, before retiring or make a quest to unify the title (three major belts), in all three weight classes (light, middle, and heavyweight). Also, making a variety of color gloves,trunks shoes, available on the playstation 2 version. The last question is, why isn't the boxers in the video game, wearing the same color gloves? My friends and I were just curious of these things. And we all seem to think, that this will really sell the game. Myself being a former amatuer boxer; the video game is fine, just not realistic enough.… Expand

    I found that I was remarkably addicted, but also frustrated with the defensive scheme.

    Sadly there is one fatal flaw that destroys any illusion of this being a simulation – the controls. The punches are easy enough to get used to but moving your character around the ring is a nightmare.

    With a complex control setup, Knockout Kings 2002 can be frustrating even before the first round ends.
