better graphics, horrible response to controls [Posted on 2008-06-12]
Pros:
--- graphics:
though the graphics are not that great compared to other games that came out in the past year or so, it's much more realistic & better for the eyes to watch to know how to move.
--- speed:
movements of the fighters are much slower then wqii boxing or victorious boxers which makes it more realistic & strategy more important. it is very easy to track & see when a fighter is about to & is punching you or blocking.
Cons:
--- no music: only a few grunt noises
--- only 4 boxer choices to start with:
one being very overweight & hairy, though give points for graphics, I didn't want to choose him nor fight him because it was too realistic. lol
--- unresponsive to normal punches & blocks:
I did the tutorial, it worked there, but in the ring? nope. I couldn't do a body block for the life of me & head block took several attempts each time. instead of fighting, I just started experimenting & counting how many times the game responded to my punching: 2 out of 4 times. sometimes only 1 out of 4 times even for very slow, good form punches.
--- lack of punching choices: there were no hooks & I forget if there were uppercuts, I think so, but I think I got it to respond 1x to do that though I made repeated attempts in my game response experiment. there is only mostly jabs & punches & holding down B or Z for super punches/jabs.
--- 3rd person view:
yes the graphics are much better, but you still feel too far away, they should have made the camera closer or see-thru like wii boxing for a more realistic feel.
wii boxing & victorious boxers: revolution are much better, with VB being more responsive/real fighting but harder to see with drawn graphics.
B-O-R-I-N-G-!-!-! [Posted on 2008-08-14]
Boo!!! I was hoping for more punching back and training, but even the boxing seems less responsive than the pre-package Wii version.
Not sure about this yet [Posted on 2008-09-13]
I have not been able to knock out anyone yet or get a good punch in but still workig on it. Not sur if I like game or not.
Downgrade from Wii Sports [Posted on 2008-09-17]
If anyone would have reviewed this game, I wouldn't have bought it. This is why.
CONS:
-No character creation or personalization
-No training or leveling up
-Controls are less responsive than Wii Sports
-4 belt contentions, totalling 15 fights (and then you're done)
PROS:
-Characters are not Mii people
-Power punch
I love boxing games and so does my 9 year old son. We are both pros on Wii Sports (which takes some doing!) and we were looking for the next level of boxing. This isn't it. It is definitely a step backwards. Be forewarned!
Waste of $$$$ [Posted on 2008-11-17]
The sensors for this game are way too slow, and that's if it even recognizes that you're moving. Just stick with the boxing with Wii Sports.
