Boxing Reviews

Well, I waited just like everyone else, and finally got one. On top of this I ordered Nascar 2k1. After doing nothing but playing the 3 games that came along with this (Madden, NHL, SSX), I'd have to say I really am throughly enjoying this system more than my Sega. I love my Dreamcast, don't get me wrong, but you can notice subtle differences between the two which make Sony just barely edge out the Dreamcast in my eyes. You can really tell that the game creators are really putting effort into pushing the PSX2 to it's limits right off, which is a VERY nice change compared to PSX1. There are tons of options, marked increase in graphical capability and I personally like the dual shock control over the dreamcast's rumble pack. I'm very glad I waited my time to get this system. The 500 beans are well worth it.

All right - I admit I am a little old for video games - But this one is wild. The graphics are tremendous, the sound potential is awesome and I'm hooked on SSX Snowboard Racing. The Madden Football 2001 Game is a bit intimidating, the NHLII is the coolest game (sic) and backward compatibility means garage sale, and close out games galore. I picked up a couple of classics for under 10 bucks from the local retailer. My younger friends and family can hardly wait to challenge me but I'm practicing up so I don't disgrace myself - the controlers are faitly intuitive and if I were to make a constructive criticism would be to either make the system unit heavier (so it doesn't slide around in the horizontal position when you are trying to reboot the system) or put more tenacious rubber feet on the thing so it doesn't slide around. I look forward to internet shared gaming via cable modem - Welcome to the new millenium!

The video game graphics are amazing!! Totally awesome!! Used to get headaches after awhile when I would play Playstation games, but since I've got the Playstation 2 I can literally play for hours and still feel great afterwards!!

As a DVD player though, it's not very good, I went out a purchased between 30 and 40 DVD's within the first month of getting the console and I would say about 20 of the DVD's would freeze a few times or the PS2 would stop and say "unable to read disc." I would check the DVD out by playing it in the DVD player in my personal computer and it played fine. So I wouldn't recommend taking the DVD's back to the store if it doesn't play on your PS2, it's most likely the PS2.

this is the secon best wrestling game i had ever played

this game is sweet it has barbed wire matchs the career mode is cool SO GET THIS GAME NOW!!

GBC has come out with one of there best Wrestling Games, It isn't just the coolest, It isn't just the best, It is from Acclaim Sports, That my Friends is Justin Credible.

If you think being able to pummel a person in a barbed wire match with a trashcan lid, or whiping them into the unforgiving barbed wire ropes while riding to Grandmas House is just Awesome then i suggest you get this game. It is one of the fastest games out there, and it has a career mode you can play too. The only thing is that u can't link up with a friend to play. But that is ok since you can do a bunch of stuff in this game. With alot of signature moves. The only thing i warn you of for this Extreme Game is while riding with your parents don't start any familar chants like @ss Hole in the backseat, or Spontanuesly yell "E C f'n W". Then you won't be able to play one of the most HardCore Pocket Games around

When I started playing with N64, I think I was 7, but I bought WCW World Tour, and while it was all good and all, it was missing SOMETHING.

Enter WCW/nWo Revenge. The game definately puts World Tour to shame. And if you guys know WWF Warzone, you can see that Bret Hart is in this game. Apart from the theme music(Horrible), no cage and no Triple threat, this game is still the best.

THQ could've made this game better. They could've:
*Added cage and triple threat(More Game modes)

*Put in Thunder, Uncensored, Spring Stampede, Slamboree, Great American Bash, Road Wild, Fall Brawl and World War 3 as well (Arenas).

*Replaced the other 2 factions (DOA and another one I can't remember), and it's wrestlers with more wrestlers, like Norman Smiley, The Cat, Johnny Swinger, Villano V, Silver King, Wrath and Ric Flair(More Wrestlers).

*Made the career a little more like Wrestlemania 2000, where you had some storylines and stuff. (Better career).

*Make the edit-a-wrestler like No Mercy's edit-a-wrestler, as well as create new wrestlers. (Better edit-a-wrestler.)

Apart from that, it's the best WCW game EVER, although Thunder was close. Well, that's that. GET Revenge, and you won't rgret it. Also get WWF Wrestlemania 2000... if you can.

"Revenge is just too sweet!!!" The game is almost perfect except for the sound is very weak. The entrance music is bad and the no commentary isn't good at all. The gameplay is a lot of fun. I could play the game for 24 hours straight if I had the chance. My favorite modes are the 40 man Battle Royal and the Championship modes. I like playing for the tag team belts with my friend. The controls are easy to learn. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out the moves after browsing through the guide book. The options are cool to mess around with. Overall I give Revenge a 5 for its cool gameplay, the sweet costume edit, and the neat options. I personally do not own Revenge because I don't have an N64 only a playstation. I have played it at my friends houses though and it is awesome!!!

What a game! This game takes the action packed World Championship Wrestling programs to your Nintendo 64! The game features TV, US, Tag, and World Title Tournaments and INCREDIBLE control! Unlike WWF Warzone, There are no codes to memorize to do a finisher, It's real easy! And the character likenesses are incredible! Some of the characters are Hollywood Hogan Giant Brian Adams w/ Vincent Scott Hall w/ Dusty Rhodes Scott "Flash" Norton Eric Bischoff w/ Miss Elizabeth Big Poppa Pump, Scott Steiner Curt Hennig w/ Rick Rude Kevin Nash Sting Lex Luger Macho Man Randy Savage w/ Miss ELizabeth Konan Raven Lodi Sick Boy Riggs Reese Kidman Roddy Piper Diamond Dallas Page w/ Kimberly Goldberg Bret "Hitman" Hart Chris Benoit Rick Steiner Fit Finley Booker T Saturn Disco Inferno Jim Neidhart British Bulldog Glacier Meng w Jimmy Hart Van Hammer Kanyon/Mortis Yugi Nagata w/ Sonny Ohno Larry Zbysko Barberian La Parka Stevie Ray Chris Jericho Eddy Guerrero Psychosis Rey Mysterio Jr Dean Malenko Juvintud Guerrera Chavo Guerrero Jr Ultimo Dragon Alex Wright

As wella s several "fake" wrestlers that have similar moves to Ric Flair, The Rock, Taz, and more.

Greatest wrestling game I've ever played. A combination of good graphics and GREAT gameplay make it that. until WCW/nWo Mania comes out, which will feature alot of this as well as a Cage match and create your own, and the abillity to fight in the parking lots!, This will be the best game. Attitude can't hold a candle!

Enjoy it! And like Hollywood Hogan said "Revenge is ust too sweeet!"

Man, look at that beautiful intro movie!!! I knew this game would look amasing, I didn't expect it to play even better! The thing that I like is how you develop a strategy to beat the harder opponents. Stick and Move, or stay in there and take it like a man! This game is better than most boxing console games!

I liked this game it was realy cool. the graphics are great espacielly since this is a game boy advence.

Boxing Forever is not an original concept the game borrows so much of it's design from the coin-op arcade PunchOut and Super PunchOut that my first impulse was to wish for a port of PunchOut and not a cheap rip-off. But after a few hours play, it turns out Boxing Forever is not a cheap rip-off.

Like the PunchOut series, the game is presented in first person; all you see of you character is his/her gloves. Unlike the PunchOut series, this game really taps into the power the GameBoy Advance hardware. It has short-burst of 3D graphics (such as the intro) and the boxers look much more detailed and larger than any any PunchOut port could do. The game is 2D, but it's designers manage to utilize the power of the system pull of a 3D look, which is done well. The 2-Player link option is also a great must have feature that I don't think could be pulled off on a PunchOut port.

With multiple boxing circuits to fight on, use pattern matching techniques to defeat the computer, and reuse of previous characters on more advanced boxing circuits, the game does borrow a lot from the PunchOut series, but overall it's an incredible game that really proves your Gameboy Advance is capable of a lot more than you old SNES.

This game was obviously rushed through production so it could make it to the shelf by X-mas. The intro videos and sound are of lame quality even for the N64 and the create a wrestler option is done better in WWF Attitude. But by far, the most appalling aspect of the game is the AI. On the Road to Wrestlemania, the matches in the latter stages of the game become almost impossible as the ultra-cheap computer opponents reverse every single move you attempt and win every lock-up. The only way to win in later matches is to repeatedly bludgeon your opponent with a foreign object. In a cage match, I was literally reduced to using the Fisherman's carry, the only unblockable move, 30 times to get a victory. This complete removal of strategy from the matches makes the game a chore to complete. The only saving grace of this game is that it will provide a few hours of multiplayer entertainment before getting stale. Rent it the next time your fellow wrestling fans come over, but for God's sake, don't buy it unless you want to experience some hardcore frustration.

WWE WM 2000 is a great game with tons of matches..
When I first got this It was around the time it first came out.
Man this game is awesome. They steel cage match, Hardcore match, and I can't remember but I think they had first blood?...I think...I don't remember.

The graphics were good for it's time. Gameplay was quick which is a good thing. It is also the first N64 game to have blood in a WWE game.

My favorite match is the steel cage. It's sooo fun but I wish they had a Hell in The Cell match.

gameplay 5/5
matches 4/5
graphics..for its time..5/5

4.5 out of 5

Later...

This game is one of the best wrestling games that I have ever played. There are no bars at the top of the game that tell you how much strength you have left, just a very cool meter at the bottom that shows your wrestlers as being cold and slow or hot and happening. The create a wrestler is simply amazing as you can pick and edit attire, (Clothes) and even pick from over hundreds of moves to personalize your man's fighting skill instead of your face. (Moves win matches, not custom face engines...) You can even choose different taunts that can be used to tease or badger an opponent, which adds more realism to the game. Wrestlemana 2000 is well worth the money as it is the most realistic wrestling game ever released! Loads of fun, and the blood can be turned off if you feel it's not appropriate for children. Highly recommended!

This could be a really great boxing game. Some of the best boxers in the world are featured, and the gameplay is excellent. That is until you get into the career mode.

Many of the players lose their skill when going into their careers, and the computer predetermines who will win the next fight. You could be beating the snot out of your opponent, while you give up little health, but he come's right back and KO's you, and the computer won't let you back up.

That's the major problem with this game. Other than that, I have no beef against it.

This game has a great look, with Boxing Greats like classic Alli to contemporary stars like Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield. (not to metion the middle and lightweights) From judge Mills Lane to Caesars Palace, this game IS authenicity. Don't listen to the critics. This game has excellent play control and adequate challenge. The career mode is, admittedly, a bit easy. However, I would like to see the guy who wrote the staff review take on Alli with Spinks or Tua in Slugfest hard mode; not an easy proposition! I'm a big boxing fan and love quality video games. Buy KK 2000, its well worth the money of a Lewis-Holyfield pay-per-view event.

I like this game. I enjoyed this game alot. I played it this afternoon, and I've never tired of it. The boxers are cool. This is the best game ever. I searched for this in the stores and was disappointed in not finding it there. This is the best game! even better than Ready 2 Rumble Boxing. This game is enjoyable and highly recommended to future gamers! even if the controll is a little slow.

Wow! I don't know what to say. I guess I can sum up by thanking all the reviewers out there. So that's enough of the mushy stuff! I mean! Let's get real here! huh? When am I gonna get some real competition? Come on! don't get silent now! just buy this game and have fun.

Knockout Kings is an extrememly fun game for about an hour. That's how long it took me to beat. In career mode, you can choose a name for your fighter, design your fighter, and choose his class (heavy-weight, light-weight). The first time you play this game, it's a bit challenging, but after a couple of fights it gets easier and easier. The part I hate most about this game is that all you have to do to win the fight is press 'B'. Oddly, I stil find this game very fun to play because of it's great graphics and up close and in the action fighting. I would recommend this as a first Gameboy Color game to kids 6-9 that aren't very aware on how to play a Gameboy. However, if you are an experienced gamer, Knockout Kings is definitely not for you.

I greatly enjoyed this game when I first bought it. The trouble is that it is easy to beat, and quickly gets boring. If you don't mind playing the same thing over and over, this is a great game. Otherwise, I would recommend renting, not buying this game.

this game is definitely great...i am the greatest fighter in the history of this game, bring anyone on, bring it on, so start practicing and email me and lets fight........001

good but not great,but it does have hillerios characters

I like this game because it's nice to play. I like hearing the trainers as they shout out some helpful tips during the bout. I also like playing two player, because I can play against a friend. I highly recommend this game along with the game of Contender to future fans of Boxing.

This game I gave 5 stars because it has a lot of potential it is a prety cool game but the graphics are not the best but they are prety good. There is a multiple choise of characters. They are good and bad characters and some are in between. I think this game eavry body should have in their video colection.

I like this game. I like this game because I can beet it. I rented about five-hundred-thousand times, but I've never been able to beet it until last night. I like this game alot! because you can play it against the computer or even a friend. I have this along with Ready 2 Rumble Boxing. I can beet this game. You want proof? Well! It's my job to convince you future fans that I'm unbeetable rather than just very good. I'd like it if you buy this. You'll find it interesting. Buy it and enjoy.

I LOVE THE ACTION THE GRAPHICS AND THE CHARACTERS! IF YOU PLAYED THE GAME YOU WOULD TOO.IT IS A REALLY GREAT GAME 2 PLAY. THE ONLY OTHER WORDS I HAVE TO SAY NOW ARE WOW!

I love the characters in this nintendo game, you will too. It is really a great game loads of fun.Its better than the first one truley.The action and graphics blew me away when I played this game. All I have to say much further is.................................................................................................................................................................WOW WOW.

This was the second 3D wrestling game I've seen after THQ's "WCW vs. The World," and I thought it blew its predecessor out of its socks. Despite a '97 brand on the back of the CD case, WCW Nitro was the 1st most admirable vie for "best PSX wrestling game of the decade" before other WCW kin games like "Thunder" & "Mayhem" came along. You can't beat the vast selection of wrestlers (available & hidden) and not to mention... creative design team members that this gem has to offer. There are made-up characters such as Santa Claus, Frankenstein and T-Rex along with the old Sting, Hogan, & Macho Man. The downfall is that the secret characters have no special moves. Oh, and the rings... you can battle in a graveyard, a jungle, a Western showdown set, a mirror room, a reck room, a quirk/atomical setting, a spaceship, and in outer space without the spaceship! And I didn't even name 'em all. Can WWF games beat that? I don't think so. The controls are feasible, the resemblance to their counterparts are remarkable, and the overall subliminal glee in manipulating some of wrestling's most popular personas is something to hold fast to. Not to mention pulling off death-defying maneuvers. Not straying to far from its predecessor, "Thunder" follows along with the same make-up, but with less limitations. For all its graphic "glitz & glamour," a calvacade of secret players/rings, & boundless wrestling moves/tolerable controls, this is the game to put into your PSX when the nostalgia beckons you to retreat the olden days of trend-setting wrestling video games.

I know this will sound crazy, but the main reason I finally broke down and purchased a Playstation several years ago was because I wanted to play some of the wrestling games available for this particular console. For whatever reason, no one has ever come close to producing a decent wrestling game for the PC. At the time, I was a serious wrestling fan, having been drawn back to the fold by the brilliant internal division in WCW between the good guys and the evil NOW. WCW Thunder came out while the WCW was at its peak of popularity, and I just had to have it. While the game has naturally lost some of its luster as time has passed and gaming hardware improved, it had all sorts of enticing features then and remains a fun diversion even now.

WCW Thunder had a lot to offer fans when it was released. For starters, you had some 60 superstars to choose from, including the biggest names around such as Goldberg and Hogan; all kinds of other hidden wrestlers also lay buried inside the game, waiting for you to win with certain characters (or use the handy dandy cheat codes) to unlock them-everything from made-up goofy characters to the wrestlers who got beat up for a living every week to announcers to members of the Nitro Girls (including the luscious Kimberly). While certain basic moves worked for all wrestlers, each individual wrestler, including the hidden ones, had their own signature moves. Thus, you could have Goldberg take his opponent out with the Spear followed by the Jack Hammer, or have Lex Luger turn a man into a little baby while hoisted up in the Torture Rack. Each wrestler came with his own theme music and personal allegiance, but you had the option of changing a guy's alliance. This could become important in terms of one of my favorite features of the game, the ability to have an ally come to the ring to help you avoid a loss or just to help you beat the heck out of your opponent.

The game offers a number of game types for one or two players. You can fight an exhibition match or go for the TV Title, US Heavyweight Title or walk that aisle in pursuit of the World Heavyweight belt. If you get tired of one-on-one action, you can choose tag-team play or battle it out with 29 other wrestlers in a Battle Royal. You can even get down to brass tacks and battle it out in a cage match. The only bad thing about a cage match is the fact that it does not allow you access to any weapons. In normal game play, there are a number of weapons outside the ring (you control how many) that you can pick up and use to beat the fool out of everybody that gets in your way; you can even just keep wailing on your opponent after he hits the ground.

WCW Thunder is and never was perfect, though. For one thing, the game quickly becomes rather easy. You can just pile drive your opponent over and over again into oblivion if you like or take a stop sign upside a guy's head a dozen or more times and pin him easily. The clumsy combination moves actually become a good thing here because it is sometimes a challenge to perform that special killer move your wrestler is famous for and end the match in style. The graphics are decent but not great, and my Playstation seems to have a few hitches in its gitty-up when it tries to render large numbers of wrestlers all at once in Battle Royal mode. I still enjoy playing WCW Thunder, though. It looks a lot like the earlier WCW Nitro game, but it plays a lot better in my opinion. There are better games available now, even for the Playstation, but I have a feeling that I'll be enjoying this game on and off for many years to come.

ok first off I want to state I am a wrestling fan. and well this get does have most entriance music for everyone (where is Jericho's?) and the graphics are nice and the video is cool. With that said.. this game's controls are non exsitant. It takes forever to figure out a move (played a rented one no instuctions) and it's not a game anyone cna pick up. once I got the move off the net they were still hard to do. also the ring is way to small it should have been bigger with more room to run around in. The range of a punch and kick looks dumb and it plays way to slow. The moves are a real pain to pull off. The run Ins are cool the first few times but get annoying and dumb. Get WWF Warzone it is a better game easy to play (even if you just mash the punch button all day)the graphics and music on that one are great and it makes this look worse than it already is. I hope a GOOD WCW Playstation game will come out sometime.
