I am a big Rocky fan. I really like the movies and they are very inspirational to me. When I bought the game, I was very excited to play Rocky whom is my favorite movie character of all time. There are many combos of punches you can use against your opponents. The game has good graphics and short computer generated movies which are a little bit funny. The fights get a little bit more challenging as you progress into the game. I found the game to be a little bit too short. Other than that, it is an excellent game. I give it 4 stars and not 5 because I have played other games which are longer and more intense, such as Halo and Halo 2. Overall, I was glad that I bought the game. I had a lot of fun with it. If you are a Rocky fan, then you should buy this game because you will probably enjoy it a lot just like me. Thanks for reading and I hope my review was helpfull. Bye now.

Nice

This game is pretty bad ass, the trainings are difficult but once you know how to do them you can get your stats up real good, the bruising and blood that doesnt go away is great, and who doesnt like the underdog Rocky.
The only problems i have with it are the stamina training (hella hard) and the intro cut scene is actual movie footage but all the others are computer animated (and look ok but ide rather see real movie ones)

If you like Rocky movies this game is great, but dont spend more than twenty-five
on it

when you feel pissed this game may help!

This game is kicking-ass! Somebody says that the training is tedious. You can always auto-train and save your concentration on the movie mode. Way easy to beat? I read the review on gamespot.com saying that with timing punches you can easily beat the players. It's true for the Novice level, but not for Contender and Champion modes, particuly for some all-around, quick and hard-hitting players at later stages of the game. You have to practice the combos and at least master 2 or 3 set of skills in order to knock out your contenders quickly and effectly, because Rocky is inheritantly weaker than his opponents in many ways (e.g. stamina).

Once you practice and practice you will really enjoy the fun of the big swing, upper-cut (damage 38, as opposed to 1 per "timing punch") after making your opponents dizzy. When you learn most of the skills and effective combos you will feel good about yourself. When you piss at your boss, come back home and use Rocky to knock you out of your anger. This will make your feel great again.

simplemente genial

Magnifico juego, los controles al principio son un poco complicados, pero una vez acostumbrado son geniales, tienes varias opciones de entrenamiento para ir incrementando tus habilidades conforme avanzas en el juego y los combos que puedes llegar a hacer son fabulosos. Claro, si eres fan del Italian Stallion pues este juego te hara sentir con topofocientos mil kilos de stamina.

Good

I enjoyed this game very much. The graphics were well done. The game was too easy to beat. I beat the game in one night, and it felt like a waste of my money (I Rented It.)

Overall: Don't waste your money or time with this game.

best boxing game by far

All I can say is that Rocky is one of the most realistic boxing games I've ever played. I've been a fan of the KO Kings series, but because of their departure from realism in KO Kings 2002 I've changed my mind for now. When I first picked up Rocky I wasn't sure what to expect. The fighting in the movies were far from realistic and I was thinking I was gonna get the same thing from this game. To my surprise, it is one of the most realistic boxing games I've played. The punches are authentic as well as the maneuvers such as sidestepping and bobbing and weaving. What separates Rocky from KO Kings 2002 is that button mashing will not work. Defense is equally important as offense, and you can block ALL of the punches your opponent throws. There's no more hitting the jab button as fast as you can to win, there is a buffer that causes a slight delay between pressing the buttons and the actual execution of the punches. If you can get past the fictitious characters, this is a must for boxing purists. The only thing missing is the flash knockdown feature that will allow you to end the fight or drop your opponent with one punch, but you hardly notice it because the fights progress very realistically and it feels just like a real boxing match.

the best boxing game in the business

Rocky is freaking awsome!
it's way better than Knockout Kings, pretty much, it's in a league of it's own.

you can play movie mode, exhibition matches, tournament which is divided into Bronze, Silver, and Gold belts, or you can practice to get better.

in Rocky, you can be Rocky 1,2,3,4, or 5, Clubber, Apollo Creed 1 or 2, Ivan Drago, Tommy Gunn, and much much more.

other boxers in this game all come from different nationalities which range from Mexican to European to Chinese fighters.

excellent ringwalks, and every single fighter has his own specific ring walk which is something Knockout Kings doesn't have.

game play is easy to learn.
excellent combo moves, and you see imediate damage to your opponent, whether it be a black eye, a bloddy nose, swelling, bruising, or even a bloody mouth.

i prefer you also get the cheat codes to access all the boxers, and only that cheat code.
original game play only allows about 5 or 6 boxers, so enter that cheat code to get everybody.
you can also chose from areans such as outside Mickey's gym (Rocky 5), to the church (Rocky 1), to a bar, city hall, big rock, or even, the mother of them all, Philly!

again, excellent game with excellent graphics, and excellent detail and ring entrances.

Rocky is in a class of it's own. best boxing game, bar none.
and after playing Rocky, you will surley want to watch the movie.
so it's the best of both worlds.

winner

It's about time somebody made a game about Rocky. Plus the fact that this is the best boxing game EVER, no disrespect to the original ready 2 rumble on sega dreamcast. But this game is so easy to pick up and play that you will be hooked for hours. The graphics are right on the money. The controls are great for a boxing game (a nice change of pace) and the story sequences are awesome. If you like boxing games or Rocky movies, get this game. The xbox version is the best!
