you love rocky movies? this game will be great.

User Rating: 8.5 | Rocky PS2
i was expecting the boxing to be complicated or just plain awful....but its not.
the controls are great and you can fight just like rocky did in the movies... uppercuts are very satisfying as are the body blows..

in between matches you upgrade your abilities... power and speed are the easiest to upgrade... but stamina is hard and so is determination... i didnt try movement..
umm you can auto train which gives you half the upgrade (5points) in case your too horrible at the minigame upgrades...very nice to have for stamina..

the movie mode is great... you basically fight through all 5 movies and the music they use is great.
all the fighters in this game are quite unique and well thought out...in their appearance...their fighting is more or less the same. their appearance is just as cool as characters of mike tysons punchout.

i was playing on easy mode and i was doing ok... you only get 3 continues..until i got to ivan drago...he destroyed me lol..

complaints?
it would be cool in the training minigames to have eye of the tiger or hearts on fire playing...but no..
the things they tell you at the corners are repetetive..

its a great pickup and play boxing game..youll enjoy it...
