Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Get ready... It's time for you to enter the ring as the one and only Prince Naseem or one of the 16 creatively named boxers in this the first boxing sim from Codemasters. Yes, this is the same Codemasters that brought us Colin McRae, but you would be wrong in thinking it's of the same standard, far from it unfortunately. This is a game that owes more to the old-style arcade fist fights than the more sophisticated likes of Knockout Kings, as is only too apparent when the fighting starts, with the punches being basic and the movements jerky, with camera angles adding extra confusion. The game has various modes to choose from, including a World mode. Here its up to you to train your fighter, work your way through the ranks with the aim of unifying the belts and enter the gym where you need to develop a strict training regime. One of the nicer elements is the haymaker punch, which is obtained by producing a sting of scoring punches. If your training pays off, you have 10 seconds to unleash a punch, or your moment of glory is lost, which is rather similar to this game. If you can put up with the slow jerky movement and the dull gameplay you might find a redeeming feature in the Showcase option where up to eight of you can fight in a knockout tournament. A good idea, and ideal for the simple boxing fan, but with the Knockout Kings series going from strength to strength, you can help thinking that this is one Naz can't walk away with. --Robert Holliday Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good game but why does it get difficult?This game is very, very addictive and I'm good at getting to the top of the rankings and becoming champion but I've noticed recently that after you defend the title once or twice, you become slower and although Naseem gives you advice on how to get back into shape, you don't improve and slip down the rankings. Rating:  - Good but not that good...I am a big boxing fan, so I can say from experience that this game is not all that, but at the same time it is addictive. The career part of the game is good in some ways. The training aspect and food intake of your fighter between bouts is a step closer to developing a boxing game for the fans. Booking fight, winning money and a world record page is also a plus. But what this game lacks is moving between weight divisions, unifying world titles; intercontinental titles and a proper career record detailing your boxers fight career. The management part of this game has been very poorly done, because if you change the career mode to 'management' and let the computer control your fights, you may win one in every 50 fights ...

This avoids falling into the group of a typical boxing game, it has special moves, imaginative punch combos and even allows you to train in Naseem's gym. The boxing rings are varied and a decent size to allow tactical dodging and diving. If one is unable to purchase the much awaited PS2 and R2R:round2, Prince Naseem boxing is a fun pick up'n box. With varied levels it is bound to get you through those cold winter months. Definitely deserves the 5 stars. Rating: - What a knock out!This game is highly entertaining.

Definitely deserves the 5 stars. Rating: - Prince Naseem BoxingHaving been a fan of Knockout Kings 2000 I was eagerly awaiting this release. On first impressions I didn't like the game but now I've got into it I can't stop playing it. Unlike any other boxing game I've played you are not only rewarded for avoiding punches but defensive moves are now possible! The power of your punches is determined by how long you hold the punch button down for which is a good feature. The game also has a strategic side to it, in that you have to develop your fighter's abilities in the gym with the help of Naseem himself. If you are looking for a boxing game that has an arcade section and a strategy game then this is for you. |
