"I will destroy him"

Rocky out for Xbox.

Get it, I am.
Why? You get to be Mr T. Or beat up Mr T.
And beat up Carl Weathers.
And beat up Dolph Lundgren.
My only hope, for a perfect game, is that Mr T says "Foo'" and James Brown sings "Living in America" before Carl Weathers dies at the hands of evil Dolph Lundgren.

Anyone find any reviews of it for me on the net?
Fly my pretties, fly

(and this isn't a "Xbox sux donkey" thread, because you cannot sully the notion of Mr T in a game with your console war jibba-jabba)

Altogether now "Flying Hiiiigheeer"

Its not just button bashing actually. It's really hard to start with. It took me a good while to get used to the controls.

As far as I can remeber there are two punch buttons for each arm, a high punch and a low punch. Then you can combine those with the directional buttons for differnt punches.

The shoulder buttons are block and dodge buttons when used in combination with the punch and D-buttons. so there is a fair bit to get your head round

more to follow......

This won't turn into a console war because it's a multi-format game...

I don't know how much you know about it so I'll tell you all I know (all got from the game because I haven't seen a review of it).

The mode I was playing in was movie mode, which is sort of like a career mode. I've never seen the films but from what I gather you play your way through the 5 films. You start of as Rocky 1 with bad porn hair and an overhang on your belly. then you work your way through some really silly named characters including B.A barracas and He-Man (no not really).

Between each fight you get twp training sessions where you can increase your stats. they are muchos funos! there is a speed one where you have to punch a punch bag at the right speed, there is a movement one where you have to move round a hunk of meat and preform special moves on it. there is a skipping one (stamina) and one where you have to hit a man with pads on his hands (thats a strength one). There is also a sit-up one, but I din't do that. That is for determination. The training bits are relly good fun, they are a bit like mini games, but if you don't wat to do them you can auto-train, which gets you 5 points. (if you train you can get up to 10 points depending how well you do.)

You'd think so but, unfortunately, the teeming masses can turn anything into My-console-is-better-than-yours rubbish

I ought to write a review of this before some one nicks what I've written.....

....but I can't be arsed

hope that helped.

Ta Ros, I shall purchase this.

so, where is my naughty sauce?

Later, there are kids watching.

Would it be worth me reviewing this, given that a Rocky review won GAD a couple of days ago?

Worth reviewing if you enjoyed playing it and wish to influence others with words and not bap-flashing.

But either is cool with me
