    A nice change of pace for fighting games. Only downside we see is the number of combos you would have to memorize, but that would all come in time and repetition of gameplay.

    The game has a lot of charm and humor and the most important thing is it is fun to play.

    While each individual boxer's signature music is entirely in tune with their caricature, the stage music is mostly limp and repetitive, a strange turn of events in an otherwise nicely polished game. [Mar 2003, p.50]

    With nothing beyond the gameplay to support it, and weak gameplay at that, I can’t recommend Black & Bruised.
