    I love Rocky movies and I was loving this game until late in story mode when I was having some trouble. Suddenly **ding** I realize you can beat ANY fighter in the game with 1-2 rhythm of just the X button (body punches--dont even need to touch directional pad). Finished the game easily soon after, I cant even say it was due to any skill on my part. Game was pretty useless after that...I I love Rocky movies and I was loving this game until late in story mode when I was having some trouble.

    Genuinely difficult when set to Normal difficulty and above. A true "southern paw" is needed to succeed in this frightening metropolis. There are some hilarious throwbacks to the original flicks, but little replay value aside from skill-based horseplay-addled offline multiplayer experiences. Rocky shines. Rocky dazzles; and there is little that can mitigate his path to glory. Bonus Props:Genuinely difficult when set to Normal difficulty and above.

Bonus Props: The original theme serves as the backbone for what is a roller coaster through the annals of Rockwell's history as a famous Philadelphile, where exclusive "Behind the Scenes" videos are unlocked and memories relived for the greater good.

    With improved animation, a more robust career, and a better choice of modes, it could have easily been a knockout instead of a contender.

    A winner with at least majority decision, if not a knockout.

    Unfortunately, for PS2 owners, a vicious beat-down is delivered by the GameCube's less blurry, less angular crowds, and it wins by a split decision.
