Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2

"Give yourself a black eye?"

This is an ok game for a boxing fan but most gamers wont like this game. This game is over rated in most case’s but its ok in some ways.

Ok, with that said, lets start off with:

Game Play - I give the game play a low 1 out of 10
The game can be fun for like 5 minuets but that’s about it. Also its fairly easy on the medium difficulty and just a bit harder on hard. The controls can tend to be annoying because the lack of speed of the fighters. Some combos are somewhere difficult to pull off while the others are fairly easy. The FPS (Frames per second) are smooth but every now and then it can get jumpy.

Story - I give the story a shamed 0 out of 10
There is no story to this game, you fight people and that’s the end of it. Sure you can get different belts but its still boring and can be quick for the lower belts.

Video - The graphics get an ok 5 out of 10
The graphics in this game are ok but can tend to get somewhat blurry at some points in the game. I know that I don’t want to be a blurry blob when I am in the middle of a match.

Audio - The sound in this game gets a weak 3 out of 10
The music can be ok at some points in the game but the voice acting can get somewhat corny and sketchy in some occasions. I mean, Michel Jackson yell’s “WOO!” when he gets a power up, what’s that all about?

Secrets - I give the secrets a 5 out of 10
There are some ok secrets in this game. Including hidden characters, I don’t want to go in to any more detail than that though because it might spoil the game for.

Replay ability - I give the replay ability a 2 out of 10
The replay ability is low because after the first time you beat it you will probably not play it again for a long time. You might stop playing it before you get it. Because the story’s so short there’s not as great a chance of that happening.

To buy or rent - This is a rent game.
You shouldn’t waste your money on buying this game because you would beat it fast and the replay ability is low. It would be fine to rent though if your just interested or you like boxing.
