More in depth than wii sports boxing...?

For those of us who ponder about the good ol days of super punch out and wish nintendo would follow up on the awesome game, this is not the game we were waiting for.

The story is not about one person, but an entire gym located in Japan. You go throgh the story by starting out as a rookie. You would thing you would stay with this character and watch him advance through the ranks and learn more about him, but as soon as you win a couple of tournament titles you are thrown into of flurry of boxers who don't give you enough time to care wether they win or lose. The cutscenes are way to long and not eventful. Half of the time dialogue does not include the moving of someones mouth.

Graphically it is not very pleasing at all. All of the character look like there on steroids and it is done in traditional anime style. The downfall to this is all of the characters look the same. The only way you can tell is by their face and after that you don't know who is fighting.

Sound wise, The sounds sometime don't even match up with the blows. The music is okay though.

The gameplay does let you do more than wii boxing, but you won't know what you are doing. You can press a putting while flailing your arms to do a special punch, but that is as in depth as it goes. You can't plan your punches you just flail your arms an occasionally block.
