    The single player experience of Punch-Out is amazing. However, the multiplayer mode lacks in the fun department. Give Punch-Out a shot if you liked any of the previous installments.

    At their best, the fights in Punch-Out!!! are about finding the perfect counter to every attack and executing them to perfection. But too often the fights are either so easy you beat them on the first try or so hard that you have to memorize the exact sequence of their moves for the entire fight.

    This game was fun but sometime the wiimote disconnects in the middle of battles and I lose the fight. It is also glitchy because sometimes tall boxer’s shoes clip through the ground.

    The folks at Next Level Games have created an amazing title that has made the 15 years since Super Punch-Out!! quite worthwhile. [June 2009, p.88]
  2. So many things could have gone horribly wrong, but the core single-player experience gets everything right. [June 2009, p.87]

    While Punch Out!! makes for an entertaining enough solitary experience, the back-seat driving aspect makes it positively shine as a party game. There's nothing quite like having a few friends over, passing the controller around, shouting advice, and just generally bonding over some hilarious, bloodless violence.
