If you tough it out, there are rewards. Just be ready to bleed. [July 2002, p.82]

Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
With precious little true depth and a distinct lack of quality boxers to topple Tyson from his in-game mantle, you'll just not want to put in the hours at the gym. [PSM2]

Yahoo! Games
It's not all bad, just needlessly frustrating. Once you get your head around the controls and deal with some of the flawed game mechanics, Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing becomes mildly enjoyable.

PSX Nation
An arcadey boxing game that doesn’t measure-up to Midway’s years-old "Ready 2 Rumble Round 2."

Gaming Age
The game is a mess from the opening bell to the K.O. punch. As for differences between the two versions, nothing was touched up for the Xbox version, and both games are virtually identical.

Electronic Gaming Monthly
Trying to master the game's unintuitive control system (with 12 different types of punches) was making my head spin, until I realized that mashing buttons and "circle strafing" my foe produced great results most of the time.

The "big" draw, aside from the fun cheating Mike Tyson parts, is the damage textures applied to the face and the little blood spurts, and sweat coming off your boxers face after he takes a punch...Once you take so many hits your boxer will go from bruised, to cut, to Face Critical! Whoopty-doo. One feature doesn't make your entire game, Codemasters.

PSM Magazine
A collection of terribly constructed animations, horribly limited replay, and a create-a-boxer mode that's shallower than it first seems. [Sept 2002, p.31]

IGN
An all around mess of a game, Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing is officially one of (if not THE) worst examples of digital boxing we've ever seen.

GameSpot
Quite possibly one of the most confused games and most definitely one of the worst games to be released so far in 2002.

TotalGames.net
An absolutely listless piece of software, which fails on almost every level to convey the action of its subject sport. If the big man himself sees this, he’s liable to bite the Darling brothers’ ears off.

There are many flaws. The fighters move as if wearing cinder-block shoes. [July 2002, p.101]

Pathetically boring.
