  • Summary: HBO Boxing is another disappointing boxing game that fails to even come close to re-creating the look and feel of the sport in the ring.

    The two-handed boxing controls give gamers unprecedented freedom. And while most of the game modes are easy, the Career Mode is no pushover.

    It's a real disappointment, it's not fun, and it looks bad. It's not even a potential contender, and if Apollo Creed or Mr. T. ever got ahold of this they'd eat it for breakfast, and they aren't even real boxers.

    The Hector "Macho" Camacho of boxing games: lots of style and flash, but no punching power.
  4. GameSpot

    The game has the worst combination of problems a boxing game could possibly have: sloppy controls, horrid animation, and poor collision detection. These detrimental factors ultimately make HBO boxing a bigger waste of money than the Tyson vs. Golata fight.
