    Captures the intensity of boxing and the enjoyment of the movies in a remarkable manner.

    There's no limit to the replay value here, unless you just flat out don't like the game or its multiplayer mode.

    Aside from these occasional moments of ludicrously unbalanced fighting, Rocky is a very fun boxing game that does require a good amount of skill to master.

    A title that any Rocky fan (or even boxing fans in general) must have, even if the actual game itself has some pretty nasty flaws.

    Chief among the defects of Rocky is that despite the game's well-conceived interplay of jabs, uppercuts, blocks, power-punches and what have you, it's too easy to cheap-shot your way to victory.
