"The only gave I've played that actually makes me sweat."

Any game that makes you sweat and sore has got to be good! This game is pretty good, very exhausting, and painful to the arms if you miss. Trust me, you better be in good shape or else, KNOCK OUT!

Story - 0/10
The Story, punch the crap out of the opponent. Not much for story available here.

Graphics - 10/10
Whew. Very realistic. Awesome Graphics. That's all I can say about this. Good Job Konami.

Sound - 7/10
For a boxing game, the sound is accurate to a real boxing match. The punches, the landings, the ugh and the ows. The ref saying knock out! When the ref says ''you ok?'', it does get very annoying, but if your in bad shape, get use to it. You'll hear it a lot.

Control/Gameplay - 10/10
The Winner for Creative Boxing Game goes to: Mocap Boxing! The gameplay is what makes the sweat, pain, agony, and makes you lie in bed! By the way, while I type this, I still feel the pain in my back. OW! Anyway, to start, you gotta stand on the foot prints on the thing to activate the Motion Sensor, and to punch, you use 2 2lb gloves and swing to punch, but they only hit when the hit symbol shows up. You can't block, so you have to move out of the way, and I mean move out of the way. You got to step back, to the left, or to the right to dodge. Very hard to master. Great workout too.

Difficulty - 10/10
For difficulty, it really depends on how fast your reflexes are. If you are slow, fat, pathetic, and never played this before, expect these words. Knock Out! Knock Out! Knock Out! and Knock Out! If you are fast, quick, and have good reflexes, voop, bam! And you hear the ref say to the opponent, Knock out!

Overall - 9/10
The game is a great game. Ducking outta the way does hurt your back, hence my backpain. Ow. You have got to try this game to fully understand it. It keeps rankings, like all other games, and it also allows you to see how many calories your burning while you fight. Very usefull during a workout session. Make sure you have plenty of drinks handy, you will be sweating for a long while.
