    With plenty of gameplay modes, secret fighters, and varied styles, there’s a good chunk of replay value here.

    Boxer's Life mode follows a story line with scenes that clue you in to the weakness of your next opponent - a cool feature for a fun game. [Mar 2003, p.136]

    Don’t be fooled by the charming graphics. There is a fairly complex boxing model and elaborate combo system that requires timing, reflexes, and intuition if you ever hope to complete this lengthy and comprehensive boxing game.

    For all their visual individuality, the 14 fighters play exactly the same. [Apr 2003, p.42]
