The Bottom Line:

"Underappreciated"

I don't know why most of the "pro" reviews of this game are so negative. This game is way better than Wii Sports boxing. It has the occasional glitch from when I get a little too enthusiastic but a simple recalibrate fixes that. The game has no trouble tracking my punches and gets even better as I raise my fighters' abilities.

I do wish that the training was actually tied to the actual attribute that it is supposed to be training for. It's still good to do them all every now and again so you at least get a feel for how the game registers different movements (plus it also makes for a good workout--especially endurance sparring).

I do kind of miss boxing using my Mii on the Wii but I don't miss the frustration of unintended punches or punches not striking where I am aiming.

I never seem to get good enough lighting to try out the head bobbing but everything seems just fine without it.

This is definitely one of if not the best PS3 move game and the motion fighting game to beat.
