Haters are the one who sucks at the game. It's a good game but beware...
Well, apparently a lot of people don't like the analog stick for punching. No worries cuz the face buttons for punching will be out for DLC this September. The gameplay is hard, I'm not going to lie. It's going to be tedious and you WILL be annoyed at times. There's times that you wont get the punch you want and sometimes you won't be able to counter them. tip: counter punching is your best friend during fights. The Legacy Mode training games are hard, at first. One good tip: Be sure to save before you train and if you fail, just load and redo it again. I gotta admit I was mad when I first played the game. But after I mastered the basic punches and counter punching, it was all good.
8.5/10
Graphics:
One word: beautiful. The game looks stunning, from blood, sweat to muscles, everything in it looks detailed and I like it! One downside though is that some boxers don't look like them in real life, some even look cartoony. And Mike Tyson looks like he have been dosed with steroids with that body. Overall its pretty and yeah pretty.
9/10
Sound:
Well the sounds, are just there I guess. I don't really care about them. One thing that disturbs me is the announcers. They do a good job of calling the matches, BUT, they just say the exact same sentences at times. But the punches sounds good especially those haymakers.
8/10
Overall:
This games amazing. I hear complains that they always lose and that counter-punching was too powerful. I just hate reading these reviewers giving the game a bad names just because they suck. Just to let the people who don't know how to play that if you suck at it, you're not made for the game, and hell, the game's no made for you. I recommend these games for boxing fans out there. If you're not entirely sure, rent it. I will guarantee that you'll be mad at the game at times but in the end, if you get use to everything in the game, you'll love it!
Happy gaming and thanks for reading.
