    Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions is a solid take on the Rocky/Creed franchise, celebrating the wide variety of fighters that contributed to the series over the years. The gameplay is rather basic for the most part, with little deviation in style between the characters, but fundamentally the fights all feel fun and it’s incredibly satisfying when you land a knockout blow on your opponent. The graphics benefit well from more stylised art design, but limitations with the arena’s crowds do stand out. If you’re a fan of Rocky, though, then you’ll definitely want to step into the ring and try this one out.

    I think it’s important to keep in mind that Big Rumble Boxing is an arcade game. With that mindset, you are going to have a really fun time, especially if you spar with a friend. Who doesn’t want to play out Rocky versus Apollo Creed again? Or even Rocky versus Adonis? The Arcade mode does feel a little thin, and there are certain things that could have been done to flesh the game out from feeling like it's missing something (more voice acting would have added some much-needed meat to this mode), but aside from this, it’s a great pick-up-and-play boxing game.

    Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions wants to be a tribute to the saga of Rocky Balboa, giving a light-hearted and self-referential tone to the various fights we have come to love so much.

    Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions is an arcade boxing game that fans of the Rocky Balboa movies will love and that ends up suffering from a lack of variety in game modes and greater depth in its gameplay. It is an entertaining game that you will like if you want to have a few fights without too many pretensions.

    Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions features all the greats from the franchise. Its large roster and faithful character designs will please fans. Unfortunately, it's in the ring where the game falls flat. It fails to strike the right balance between arcade action and the sport of boxing. Although some may find the casual nature quite fun, aficionados will have to wait for that knockout game.

    Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions is one of those simple but fun arcade games that can entertain you for a while, but neither Rocky Balboa personally nor all the music from the movies are enough to cover up the lack of more meaningful systems and content.

The story mode is successful and especially fans will enjoy it. The fights are exciting. Unfortunately, the difficulty level isn't always fair and makes for some frustrating moments in the gameplay. In return, the graphics and sound can provide great elements in the gameplay. Especially the licensed music from the movies creates a great atmosphere. If you are looking for a boxing game or would like to fight with Rocky, you should definitely check out "Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions" for a closer look.… Full Review »

    While the Switch has finally managed to get some fighting games rolling in the more recent years, sports titles in general have been woefullyWhile the Switch has finally managed to get some fighting games rolling in the more recent years, sports titles in general have been woefully few and far between. Looking to pick up the practically unclaimed boxing crown we now have Big Rumble Boxing, which brings along a fair amount of swagger as well as characters from the Rocky-verse which is a fair bonus for fans of the franchise. The first word of caution for people taking a look is to walk into the affair thinking of it as a fighting game that features a boxing feel, this isn’t remotely a relative of the likes of Punch-Out or other 3D boxers. With that said, though it feels more like a 2D fighting game overall (though you do have the ability to dodge 3-dimensionally) the typical mass of special moves and nuanced combos don’t come along for the ride, with each general fighting style having their own flow but in general the repertoire of attacks staying limited. Depending on what you’re looking for, the result being more of a Chess-like strategic affair where you’ll be trying to work with what you have to wear down and/or psyche out your opponent to then capitalize will either seem ideal or a bit dull and repetitive.
