How much time did it take? i heard the easy and medium setting were easy, but hard mode was very difficult.

I got it on the GameCube this morning. Only £20 from Toys'r'us :D


Quality game, although it'll probably get boring quickly. They've got every single boxer Rocky has played in the films...Well, apart from Hulk Hogen...

And yes, it has got the "getting strong now" music on it!

Heh.

Also, on other boxing games the camera angle would put me off straight away but Rocky didnt. Plus, the characters a bulky and stuff and they get all bruised and beaten up and stuff.

Plus theres that nifty feature of having to train yourself on different aspects (eg. smacking that little ball attached to ceiling as fast as you can to make your speed better).

Might go play it now.

Oh, Hercules! Your typical cheeky fella (get it...CHEEKY)

Anyway, to the point, I only managed to play this game on the GameCube and I heard that it wasn't that good. Nonsense! I enjoyed every minute of it. Loads of characters and rocky clips to be unlocked and as Hercules! said, it's probably the best boxing game I've played as well!

Yeah, ive got the game. Its probably the best boxing game ive played... but that doesnt say much. Its fairly decent but can be quite easy and repetetive. I have to find out new stuff though.

Rent it.

Oh and, nice pair.
