Ok, i have waited for a year on this game!!! and it's without a doubt, the best boxing game I HAVE EVER PLAYED. From career mode to online mode to exhibition mode, this is the deepest and most enjoyable boxing game ever created. Sound - This is the only lacking department cause there is not much to the sport of boxing anyways....but the ghetto feel and hip hop commentary is OK. you can deal with it....although ACTUAL voice overs of popular comentators would be WAY BETTER Graphics - AMAZING from facial distortion on impact, to real time bleeding and bruising to CRISP visuals make this absolutly awsome! the visuals i don't think could be prettier on the PS2 Gameplay = This is the BEST part. the control over your boxer is INSANE!!!. the learning curve is decently steep but REWARDING!! if you master it.....you have control over absolutly EVERYTHIING at your boxers disposal! from hip movement, side to side, back and forward with smooth as silk animation, and punches can be thrown from any direction you wish! The RAG DOLL physics are so awesome!! knockdowns can come from any angle and are NEVER the same, there is no set knockdown animations makeing for 1000's of different knockdowns CAREER mode is better than most say....it's as good or better than any boxing game made, so who can complain??? The create a boxer is SPOT ON with the deepest selection of facial changing i have seen!!! from eybrow placement and position to jaw structure!! ------ PICK THIS UP ------- if you are at all interested in BOXING!!!! there is nothing better.....trust me it's my favorite type of game and i have played and tried them all since Mike tysons punch out on the ole' NES
