  • Summary: Punch King tries its best to be the next Punch-Out!!, but it falls short of the mark.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 2 out of 10
  2. Negative: 2 out of 10
  1. Although there’s no multiplayer, the replay value is durable, not to mention the nicely done graphics and the incredibly impressive sound.
  2. 65
    A tremendously flawed product. Yet, there are many redeeming qualities to the game which hold great promise if developed properly in the future.
  3. Tries its best to be the next Punch-Out!!, but it falls well short of the mark.
  4. Once you advance through Arcade Mode, which spans 11 fighters, there’s nothing here to hold your interest. No career, no create-a-boxer, no save feature to improve on top performances or knockout times -- not even a two-player contest, which is inexcusable.
