Reviews from

in the past


I remember seeing this for the first time and thinking, "WTF is this POS? This is not Punch-Out!! at all!" I absolutely hate the wire frame PO games. Give me MPTO & PO Wii.

It's a passable first attempt at Punch-Out, but I definitely agree with a lot of the other reviews here that the incessant punch-by-punch narration is excessive. I think it would've felt more exciting for the player if the narration voice clips kicked in after having done a certain amount of damage, or landing the meter-based super punches. When every single punch cues the announcer to talk, it makes you start tuning it out, which seems like the opposite of the intended effect.

Anyway, did you ever think about the fact that Glass Joe predates Bowser? Makes you think.
