Boxing Games
Being one of the well regarded sports, it’s only natural that gaming has
seen a wealth of boxing games. Even on the old game machines like MAME,
Atari, Commodore, Sega and Playstation, boxing games have successes in game
titles.
Newer generations and newer machines, boxing games are still being produced.
While some aren’t as convincing and interesting as the actual sport, there
are others that are made interesting not with realism but by twists in the
gameplay.
There are many boxing games available, including those in the past that are
playable by today’s standards. Ultimately, it leaves you a title on the
system you own. So without further ado, here are the best known titles for
boxing games.
Title Bout Championship Boxing
Release Date: Dec 8, 2003
Title Bout Championship Boxing is different than most of the crop of boxing
games. It takes a leaf from the critically acclaimed Championship Manager
games and delivers a boxing simulation, with you as a manager, cut man, and
corner man. And as a final twist, you can get to have any boxer regardless
of generation under your wing. So that means you can take the Brown Bomber
to a challenge against today’s contemporaries like Larry Holmes and Evander
Holyfield.
Wrapping it up, like most sim games, Title Bout Championship boxing features
a lot –in text. Those that are looking for an adrenaline pumping game should
look elsewhere as Title Bout can quickly bore gamers not into the genre.
Ready 2 Rumble
Release date: Oct 23, 2000
Fighting atop skyscrapers or fighting as a customized boxer, Ready 2 Rumble
Boxing: Round 2 for the Playstation 2 is more of a comic relief than a
boxing experience. With a weak AI, there’s really no reason to purchase
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, especially if you looking for a hint of realism or a
sense of achievement.
But for arcade reasons, Ready 2 Rumble can offer loads of interest with its
fast actions and frantic button mashing. The twists, like the boxer
customization can keep interest on a quick shallow basis.
Fight Night Round 3
Dec 5, 2006
Fight Night Round 3 is definitely one of the best incarnations of the sport.
And it is available on multi platforms, the Xbox 360 and its predecessor,
Playstation 2 and 3, and its portable PSP, though the best titles are those
of the seventh generation platforms.
No other boxing games comes as close in sprite effects than Fight Night
Round 3. From menacing mugs of Sugar Ray to Golden Boy La Hoya’s good looks,
the game represented each fighter’s detail as closely. And due to the
systems technical power, you’d have to see a more convincing sprite.
