Let's start with the good things about this game. KK gives an enormous array of professional boxers to choose from, both past and present. Each boxer is rendered pretty true to form. The controls for the game are fairly straight forward, and can be memorized in a matter of minutes. This game is very exciting to play against a friend of the same skill level. However, this game really lacks when fighting the computer. Because the computer basically has incredible defense, and you basically can't block anything, you have to throw 3 or 4 times as many punches to win each round. Also, every action you take, there is a pause before the game will let you make another. This pause in your controlling ability leaves the computer opponent more than enough time to knock your block off, every time. This all leads to slow gameplay. Graphically, it looks as though fighting in an abandoned warehouse.

Great game if you live with someone to play against, as the problems effect both of you, allowing the most skilled to prevail.

This game rates as the worst I've played. The controls respond pathetically slow, so forget blocking, and the dodges that you do are so pathetic looking it is funny. The AI does nothing but block, block, block, and once an eon throws a punch. However, the game is pretty exciting in 2 player mode. Get yourself Ready 2 Rumble, or if you are a hardcore boxing fan hungry for something with real guys, take a gamble on KK 2000, I heard they corrected their screw ups.

This is definately one of the better boxing games i have played.What makes it fun is that you can create your own boxer and take him to the top, or you can fight with all the greats, like Ali. So I recommend this game highly.

I was so looking forward to playing this game and chanting "Down goes Frazier, down goes Frazier..". Oh well no sign of such boxing greats as Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Frazier, or George Foreman to name a few (yet we get Virgil Hill and Butterbean go figure).
The game has an ultra-quick learning curve and you can jump in both fists swinging from the opening bell. Now if I can only figure out how to beat my 8 year old daughter Sydney!

It's kind of choppy, and the characters aren't very real looking, but I can deal with it. (I didn't pay full price for it.)

This is a great boxim game. If thats what you are looking for, then get this game. I have alot of fun with this. You can choose from real boxers to contend, or you can make your own boxer and fight him against the greats. Go for it!
