    It's a fun game, but like I said before, don't go in expecting a boxing sim. I would put this more in the same vein as Ready to Rumble except without all the ridiculous moves and boxers of Ready to Rumble.

    The true showstopper however is the facial damage. The best yet seen in any boxing game, cuts, bruises, swelling, and abrasions form realistically on fighters faces as the match progresses.

    The fighting engine won't win any awards for realism or responsiveness. (At times the punches lag behind your button presses.) But ultimately it's good enough for what the game is. [Dec 2002, p.142]
