.co.uk Review
-------------
If ever a film was overdue for the console it is
Rocky. The game is full of the atmosphere of all five films. From
Rocky's humble beginnings to his crowning glory as the undisputed
heavyweight champion of the world, this game has the lot. Take
control of the Italian Stallion in your effort to beat the
rest--including Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang (aka Mr T), Ivan Drago
and Tommy n--and be the best.
Like most boxing games it has the usual exhibition and sparring
modes, but being licensed from a film it also has the
all-important movie mode, which is where the fun starts. Progress
through the fights to unlock each new nent en route to
meeting your big movie rivals. After each fight you'll need to
improve your fighting prowess by training; you can do this the
hard way, under your own steam, or opt for the auto-train mode
which improves your precious stats for your next bout. Finish the
movie mode and unlock the knockout tournament and prepare for
some intense button bashing.
With the ring full of boxing sims the question is "Which one
packs the biggest punch?" Rocky, with its great graphics, great
combos and the all-important great gameplay, is the top
contender. --Rob Holliday
