    This is not only the best boxing game ever made, but the best fighting game ever made.

    I picked this game up 5 years after it came out and was still impressed. Great boxing game, and the mechanics are about as realistic as I think you can get on a controller. The graphics could of have been better and I would have liked it if there were voice overs. Despite all that, me and my friends played this a lot and one of my friends even went and found one of his own. Great game and I picked this game up 5 years after it came out and was still impressed.

    This game sucks! It's not even worth renting, it is truly horrible.

    Excellent boxing sim! Only a bit short and lack of career/training mode, the story mode could be finished in one day.

    This game is pure banana. After a few fights you have a boxing match with a bear in the woods. It's difficult to control and has poor graphics/sound. I'd much rather play Barry McGuigans boxing on the zx spectrum. It's s**t.

    The lackluster gameplay combined with mediocre graphics and poor sound make it a title worth staying far away from.

    A surprisingly deep and compelling boxing game, despite its overall minimalist approach to design, sound, and presentation.

    A refreshing break from the norm. [Feb 2002, p.85]
