wish i could give it 1/2 starDec 28, 2000
By gavin welch I tried to like this game, I really did. Especially since i spent so much money on it. The main problem wih it is the graphics. They look stupid. I am not sure if they meant for the models to look like monkeys but they do. Also you can punch right through your opponent. My next main problem is in the game play. Its really slow and that made it very hard to enjoy fighting. I have played all the fight games on PS and this is by far the worst of the worst. Now I am sure all you people will bag on me for saying so, but this game is LAME.

Great GameNov 30, 2000
By D This game reminds me of the first Knockout kings from EA Sports 2 years ago, except this game has much more to offer. This game in my opinion is better than Knockout Kings 2001 because there are so many more options here, especially when you get into the career mode. There are so many different features you can add to your fighter when you create him, which is also true of KO Kings. But this game takes it a step further, allowing many additional features that can be added to a fighter such as extra height(A heavyweight here can be listed up to 6'8, unlike the 6'5 limit in KO Kings), more weight, different facial features, different gloves and shoes. All this is nice, but when the game begins its all about gameplay and this game delivers with realistic and exiting action that is comparable to KO Kings. There are a nice selection of combinations that can be thrown, the illegal blows and taunts found on KO Kings are here, and its all pretty straightforward and easy to control. The fighters move fairly fluidly as well and the defensive moves are very realistic. You can also cumstomize the controls so that its easier for you to play. For fans of HBO Boxing, the announcers Jim Lampley/Larry Merchant are here which without question is a step up from the ESPN announcers found on KO Kings. There is also nice selection of fighters here including Roy Jones Jr. who isnt featured in Ko Kings. There are more venues here, Ballys Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Hilton are just a couple that are featured here, and not on Ko Kings. And you can play a single elimination tournament here which is a nice feature. I have only played the game a few times and already I am very impressed with it. If I had to choose between this and Ko Kings 2001 I would have to lean towards this not only because of what I have mentioned above, but also, if your a fan of boxing , you know that HBO is where its at when it comes to great boxing coverage and the announcers, the logos, the venues, are all include in this game. Great game.

HIGH HOPE, LOW LET DOWN.Dec 06, 2000
By LINELL BRYANT I WAS DISUSSED WITH THIS GAME.EVEN WITH ALL THE OPTIONS,ACCLAIM FORGOT ABOUT THE GAME PLAY....THE GRAPHICS ARE OK BUT THE WAY THE BOXERS MOVE SUCKS.THE WAY THEY THOW PUNCHES IS TERRIBLE AND UNREALISTIC.I WILL GIVE ACCLAIM SOME CREDIT,THIS IS THERE FRIST BOXING GAME AND IT HAS A LOT OF AWSOME OPTIONS.HBO BOXING 2 SOULD BE AWSOME.THE COMBINATION OF KO KING 2001 AND HBO WOULD BE THE BEST BOXING GAME KNOWN TO MAN.

Best Boxing SIM of all time!Nov 28, 2000
I have never played a video game with as much flexibility and control for boxing. The characters look pretty good for a PS1 title. But, if you are a boxing fan, this is it. It is one of the best "Build your own character" Ive ever used with the ability to do inter-racial heritage mixing. You can move and block and punch all at once. I've played the Contender, Knockout Kings, Mike Tyson, Punch Out, Ring King, this is definitely my favorite. They didn't really work too much on intros and victories though, which is what would be nice. But the game itself in play is definitely the best.
