been a hot minute since ive played anything i can write a review on actually but I spun the wheel and put this shit on and IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITS... okay it has some nice ideas
I thought initially itd be a punch out clone from the opening scenes but you actually have individual story modes for this colorful cast of characters, voice acting and cutscenes as well
It's writing and humor is as youd expect for a crude early 00s sport related game from the U.S/UK really which u uu u u u uhhh shrug it can be mildly amusing to just "ok dude"
I think that the gameplay rly wasnt for me but it was interesting playing a boxing game in a context that wasnt rlly nintendo flavored for the first time!!
Wish that the special moves were a bit easier to do and I think that the enemy can be harder than mammoth shit sometimes honestlyyyy..

You have the flatline rule that if you get knocked down 3 times you are fucked but the enemy i swear is able to get up after three and thats pretty damn annoying to me sooo.. yeah.
I don't have very much deep to say about the game but if you want a quick taste of a boxing game thats got unique character designs and a palpable art style and fun strategic gameplay
you should just play pato box instead or something babe, ciao
