    By taking a fun and exhilarating boxing framework and painting it with the glorious trappings of the Creed/Rocky franchise, Servios has delivered a game that is simply magical. Sure, the campaign is a little short and the hit detection might feel a bit wonky, but in the heat of the moment none of that matters. Whether fighting AI opponents or engaging in the more challenging fights against real-life players, you will find yourself bouncing in place, floating and stinging with the best of them. This is a game that will leave you sweaty and proud. How many other games can say that?

    Creed: Rise to Glory is an experience unlike any I’ve ever had with a video game. While not a boxing simulation, the technology that powers the game is fun and addicting. With each passing match, players will get better and have a better understanding of what it takes to land punches that count. The PVP has a ton of potential, but unfortunately it needs a lot of work. Because the fighting mechanics work so well, though, Creed: Rise to Glory is a reason to get in on virtual reality.

    Overall, I’m pretty impressed with how well Creed: Rise to Glory works on PSVR, and I’d imagine the other VR platforms are executed just as well. The only thing that feels a little iffy at launch is the online versus mode, which led to a couple of laggy matches against real-world opponents, enough so that I never finished a match. For me, the online versus isn’t a huge draw, but you might want to give the game a patch or two before picking it up if that’s a deal breaker for you. Outside of that, I think Creed does a great job of simulating the boxing experience with an arcade-style approach, and is certainly worth checking out if you’re looking for a fun, boxing VR workout at home.

    Shadowboxing with a plastic helmet on might not sound all that enjoyable but Creed's simulation of the sweet science makes it one of the most compelling boxing games ever.

    The playful foundations of Creed: Rise to Glory seemed to us to be decidedly solid.

    The tracking is auful and makes the game unplayable. Not mention the game gives you a body that feels really off

    While definitely not what I call fun, Creed makes for an outstanding way to catch up with your lagging new years resolution. Just add wristWhile definitely not what I call fun, Creed makes for an outstanding way to catch up with your lagging new years resolution. Just add wrist weights.

    Creed will find you working your upper body into soreness and your cardiovascular system into overdrive.

    Graphics are clean if basic. The set pieces are a bit under populated. The career mode is sparse to say the least. All that said what it lacks in aesthetics and over the top presentation it makes up for with mostly solid controls and hit detection. Being staggered and knocked down result in odd mini games that seem a bit too distracting and counter immersive but fit well enough into a video game representation of a boxing match.

    Game earns a solid 7. It presents a very good, albeit short, basic foundation for a potential sequel to followup with a blockbuster knockout. Rise to glory just needs a bit more training before it is ready for a real title match.    … Full Review »

    Survios uses the PlayStation's Virtual Reality's potential to create a fun, innovative boxing experience. While graphics are nothing special,Survios uses the PlayStation's Virtual Reality's potential to create a fun, innovative boxing experience. While graphics are nothing special, it did not matter much due to the smooth, realistic gameplay. One setback that I had is the lackluster career mode, with the repetitive pattern of meeting up with your trainer, montage training, knock out your opponent, and repeat. Not a huge KO, but a solid attempt for a VR boxing game.… Full Review »
