100With sharp new features, graphics, and controls, Knockout Kings 2001 owns the PlayStation boxing ring.
-
94The greatest Boxing game on the PS period!
-
90More of a thinking man's boxing game, full of strategy, personality, and fire. Take the career mode for a spin and you'll fell all the pain, frustration, and joy that a boxing career will bring.
-
89Easily the best iteration of the series thus far, thanks to improved AI, cleaner graphics, and tighter controls.
-
88Featuring major improvements over last year's KK2000 -- including brilliant commentary and much improved player control -- this updated version is easily the best boxing game on the market.
-
The gameplay and AI is solid, albeit a little aggressive.
-
85A terrific game that looks great and plays very well.
-
82Terrific graphics for the boxers, coupled with some rather impressive motion capturing and a deep Create a Boxer feature, make this game a worthy contender for your PlayStation game library.
-
73Knockout Kings 2001 had all the potential to strike a telling blow to all its competitors, but with below average gameplay, spending your hard-earned cash on this will hurt more than a Tyson uppercut.
-
If you're a die-hard boxing fan, you'll appreciate the extended Career mode and boxer-specific fighting styles. Unfortunately, you won't appreciate the less-than-optimal frame rate.
-
70The game's lack of speed and overwhelming number of moves make it less of a draw for non-fans, but fans will be thoroughly floored.
