To put it bluntly, I needed to force myself to play this piece of unpolished drivel. First, the control has the most atrocious interface I have ever had the displeasure to witness.

It's a rush job, pure and simple, and it really is a shame that a once respectable series was reduced to this level of pure and utter deplorability.

Although I have no gripe with the stable of boxers included here, I think the game would have been a lot more enjoyable if other equally despised personalities were licensed for the game. Just imagine the possible matches, Tyson versus O.J. Simpson, Hussein versus John Rocker, Bin Laden versus Enron board members. That would be fun no matter how bad the game sucked.

It didn’t look good, it didn’t play good, and it didn’t sound good. You’d probably have more fun playing backgammon online with your mother-in-law.

If you could somehow combine watching paint dry and reading a choose- your-own-adventure novel, you'd have Myst III.
