Rocky: Simply the Best !

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 23 / 28

Having played the Xbox and Playstation 2 versions of the game at ECTS 2002 trade show I can tell you that Rocky is quite simply the best movie licences ever produced and one of the best games you will have played for many a long year.
Fans of the movie are going to love it because the game has a visual flair and an immense depth that recreates the sweet science of boxing perfectly and even if you have no knowledge of the Rocky films you will not believe the enjoyment this game can induce.

The boxing itself is easily the best 3D interpretation of the sport to date and makes all other contenders, such as Knockout Kings 2002, Ready 2 Rumble and Mike Tyson's Boxing, look punch-drunk has-beens surviving on past glories.
The graphics are excellent, great lighting effects, fully 3D crowds, and the atmosphere and fantastic soundtrack all use the Xbox and Playstation 2 power to full effect.

The single player mode is superb, but get together with some friends for a session in Exhibition mode and you can expect whoops and hollers to rival the best multiplayer games.
In fact this game has the only multiplayer game to rival Halo.

This brilliant arcade boxing game is based on all five films, and a worthy accompaniment to them. The beauty is that gamers unfamiliar with the series will admire Rocky for its power and simplicity, while film buffs who know little about games will appreciate how true the spirit of the celluloid version it is.

It has captured the essence of Stallone's scripts, acting and OTT fight sequence with remarkable flair.
Fan of the movie? Get Rocky! Fan of boxing games? Get Rocky? Fan of the Xbox/Playstation2? GET ROCKY

This is a game i have wanted for years, no one has been able to do it right, finally while not perfect it is very very good and is the best boxing game out right now. plus the nastalgia of the rocky movie series, this is great! i beat the game in 6 hrs on easy and was really moving was just like watching the movies and reliving the rocky feeling, as i said not perfect and may not have been excatly like the movies aka just left some parts out, but other than that, the music the graphics and sound are all from the movie. when you connect with a good hook you hear the rock scream right from the movie. I would recomend anyone buyikkng this game who has the smallest intrist in the boxing format, that with the rocky feel and nastalgia, WOW what a great game buy it enjoy it and re sell it on Amazon.com!! Wow only in America!!

My advice to anyone buying the game is to go immediately to the sparing section and just play for an hour straight..this way you will get to have an intuitive feel for the controls and about 30 minutes into the exercise it will hit you that this is one great game. The use of combos is just amazing, with proper timing essential. With the great dissappointment that was KO Kings 2003, it is so nice to have this to wipe the bad taste away. I have not played the movie mode, but the game features over 30 boxers, and really captures the essence of the film. I very highly reccomend this game.

Blood, sweat and jeers

This game puts you into the action, you can feel hear the groans and see the blood and sweat fly when a punch connects. There are cheers and jeers, cruising and bruising, yelling and swelling, yaunts and jaunts. Oopose, getting carried away here! This really is great fun and really captures the atmosphere of a boxing ring. Faces swell up and bruise, and the taunt button has really amusing effects. True to the films for film fans, realistic boxing for boxing fans, and a great straight forward instant action beat em up for everybody else (and its miles better than Dead or Alive).

If you MUST have a boxing game . . .

The first thing you will notice about the game is how ridiculously disproportionate the characters look. Wow, in a world of Dead or Alive Extreme Volley Ball, couldn't UBI Soft do better that this? Okay, but you get to beat up on Apollo Creed and all the other antagonists from the Rocky movies, so maybe there is something here. Not so. I was bored in minutes. With so many excellent fighting games out, how can one endure repeating a few simple moves? (Punch, punch, jab . . . jab, punch, punch.) It's pretty bad. And when you get hit hard, little blue start appear above your head. Once I got hit with a jab the stomach, and the character flipped up and around, and landed facing down on the mat. It was more like a move in professional wrestling. But hey, if you really want a boxing game, you might like it.

Great Game!!![...]

Freedom Rock-y

Well this is the best boxing game I have played yet on any console. The main reason I found it so good was the freedom you have over your fighter. In other boxing games I have played its all about who can hit jab ( the "A" button) the fastest. I found this really boring after a while, but Rocky has solved that. No more can you simply jab your way to the top. This game takes actual skill and timing is crucial. The boxers have a very fluent movement. I also like the fact that I can punch either head or body-blow punches when I feel like it. Not when the "special move" is implemenented. The graphics are very good, considering Rocky looks a bit thin in this game for some reason. The movie plot is there, the characters from the movies are there along with a slew of new contenders. All in all I can't say anything negative about this game. It is very intense and alot of fun. The only thing missing that would make this a perfect game is "live" capabilities, but maybe next time. Rock on!
