Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Has the King of Pop become the Prince of Pugilism? As a sequel to 1999's surprise knockout, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2 features Michael Jackson, alongside NBA heavyweight Shaquille O'Neal and a mix of new and returning contestants, for some over-the-top fisticuffs. The game combines authentic boxing action with outrageous costumes, special moves, taunts, and rumble flurries, all of which are unique for each character. Throw some quick jabs in the arcade mode or do it Rocky-style via the enhanced championship mode, in which you'll manage your boxer's training regimen and schedule fights. Adding to the realism are photographers, corner men with spit buckets, beautiful ring girls who announce each new round, and Michael Buffer with his famous "Let's get ready to rumble!" call.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knock out!, November 24, 2000

I have never been much of a boxing fan, but this game is really impressive. I have never seen such great character development in any game! The characters are incredibly expressive and hysterical. They react to each other differently, depending on their personal histories with each other. They speak their native languages or have genuine accents (unlike many games where they all speak English or Japanese- regardless of where they are supposed to be from). The richness of the characters and their fighting styles makes the game so much fun to play.

It is not very easy to pick up. You really have to practice to do well, but there is gym at which you can train your fighters. How cool is that! The characters even have their own lockers. I have forgotten how frustrating and rewarding skill development can be. This game is enjoyable on so many levels that I cannot recommend it enough. Go ahead, knock yourself out!

5.0 out of 5 stars 200% Better than round 1, November 2, 2000

Just got this game yesterday, and it ROCKS!! I can't believe how much better it is than the first one, which was pretty good in its own right. The gameplay is better, the taunts are funnier, and the boxing is awesome. The only problem I found is that there isn't a way to enter cheat codes to unlock players.

Ready 2 Rumble " is a vast improvement on the first. The graphics are amaazing and i thought that they wouldn't be able to improve on the first but they have. The game is great escpecially with the extra charaters that are available, and i like the concept of the triple rumble bar, which when it is full you are able to knock your opponemt out of the ring. Congratulations to the makers on a sucessfull sequel
