Summary:
All hype and no filler. i've just about played every boxing game ever made and this one was one of the worst, about level with george foreman's ko boxing. first it's totally unrealistic, the characters no matter height or weight look the same (sugar ray robinson looks like a power lifter), the game lacks a majority of the known knockout kings in boxing history. i could go on but over all it sucks. EA needs to take the career mode from mike tyson's game and apply it to there story mode and go from there. for all the hype this game recieves it's garbage

Summary:
Boy, this game is bad. It's purely arcade style punchfest. If you know ANYTHING about boxing, this game will be a disappointment, so it's better for those of you who think Rocky movies have it nailed. Best play value is whomping on your friends in competitive mode. Guess I wasn't expecting much as a rather spur of the moment rental, so I can't say I was disappointed, so it has that going for it!

Summary:
This is a good game but its not a simulation boxing game anymore. First of all you can't clinch, you never get tired, and you can throw as many punches as you want which really sucks to me because I'm a big boxing fan. It needs more new fighters like barrera,hamed,morales,roy jones, and many old fighters like tommy hearns, hagler, and arturo gatti.

Summary:
Knockout kings is a great game. I am not usaually a big fan of boxing games but this game has drawn me to the sport of boxing. this really raised the bar for boxing games. the only way to improve the game would be to have a mode to train your boxer to make him better along with the fights. Its also kind of unrealistic a fighter gets counted out he gets right back up like hes ready to fight
