For those of us who ponder about the good ol days of super punch out
and wish nintendo would follow up on the awesome game, this is not the
game we were waiting for.
The story is not about one person, but an entire gym located in Japan.
You go throgh the story by starting out as a rookie. You would thing
you would stay with this character and watch him advance through the
ranks and learn more about him, but as soon as you win a couple of
tournament titles you are thrown into of flurry of boxers who don't
give you enough time to care whether they win or lose. The cutscenes are
way to long and not eventful. Half of the time dialogue does not
include the moving of someones mouth.
Graphically it is not very pleasing at all. All of the character look
like there on steroids and it is done in traditional anime style. The
downfall to this is all of the characters look the same. The only way
you can tell is by their face and after that you don't know who is
fighting.
Sound wise, The sounds sometime don't even match up with the blows. The music is okay though.
The gameplay does let you do more than wii boxing, but you won't know
what you are doing. You can press a putting while flailing your arms to
do a special punch, but that is as in depth as it goes. You can't plan
your punches you just flail your arms an occasionally block.
