    Take the great graphics and mix it up with the innovative HUD-less fighting system and solid boxing engine and the result is an excellent boxing game that is at the top of its class.

    Having just paid 40 to 60 dollars for this game, you shouldn't have to be bombarded by advertisements.

    Great grahics, great fun! The loading freezes up on my PS2 sometimes after a Title Fight, and that is VERY annoying because I have to start over. Other than that, I think this game is at the top of its, uh... game. I've yet to play a game where you can sutomize the cahracter with such amazing detail. They need to add some world locations to fight at, EA needs snatch the licences of some of the great fighters that aren't in the game, like Butter Bean and Little Mac.… Expand
