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!

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

I bought this game for my cousins. I really thought it was a bit too silly for my tastes. They'd give it 5 stars, I'll take one away because of my thoughts on the game.

First, my cousins perspectives. A barrel of laughs and a whole lot of fun. They both will sit down in front of the TV for hours playing this game, just beating the stink out of each other until they have to go. They don't care for Michael Buffer, but they do enjoy the boxer comments.

Second, my perspective. It's just a button masher to me. I'm sure there's technique there, I just don't have the desire to discover it beyond some minor experimentation. The game has excellent graphics and sound, it just seems to get old fast. You circle around and punch. Once the intial novelty of the graphics and humour dissipate you're left with repetative gameplay. Saving grace to this is the multiplayer. Adding friends and family as opponents instead of the AI is a blast.

After a short period of time, you'll be skipping everything just to get to the fight. So if you don't have friends and family to play with or against, it's just an arcade boxing game that probably won't hold your interest for long.

The graphics are very good and the game is fun to play for a couple of matches, but after that it gets really boring. It's just the same old button mashing every round, and not that that's necessarily a bad thing but with this game it gets so dull. Also, the game designers tried too hard to make the characters very "wacky" and the result is that most of the characters and humor in this game is just plain stupid (but not even in a funny way). In closing, I'll say this game is overrated, and I don't understand how people can find it so fun. It's worth a rental, but little else. I played my copy only twice before reselling it.

Back when the original came out on the Dreamcast(best system ever made) it was great. The graphics at the time where incredible especially for a launch title. Im sure this game helped Sega sell a few system's. I remember they seem to have this game running on every Dreamcast Kiosk. The first game was pretty original and was good little game at the time. This came out about a year later. Although they did improve the graphics a little and the music some they core of the game remain unchanged. This can be a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. Midway knew it had a hit on their hands when the original came out. They didnt want to mess with the original formula much. The core of the game pretty much remained unchanged. They added a few touchups and a few more things here an there and improved the Championship mode as well. However, not enough was done to implement more features other than new boxers overall the game didnt evolve much. In a way you can say its more of a 1.5 than a part 2. You can say they dressed up the original and a few more characters to it. The AI in the game while not bad isnt great after a while you'll get the hang of it. After you played it for a few hours it starts to wear a little thin. However, you will have fun playing it before you arrive at that point. The game is much better if you play with a friend or use it as a party game with a few friends. All in all its a decent game just for the most part its the same as Part 1. Which is good in a way since the original was a good game. However with a few more modes and maybe if the game would of evolved a little more it would of been much better. This is been an arcade type of game like most arcade type of games they usually where thin after a few plays.

Anyone who had a Dreamcast already knows about this one. This wasn't a serious boxing game like Fight Night Round 2 or 3, but its still good clean fun all the same. If you haven't played, I suggest you try it out. I promise you and a few friends will enjoy yourselves.

Great game! More characters to choose from and lots more unlockable secret characters which adds to the replay value.

The controls are easy to grasp and each character is very diffrent has their own special abilities. The downside is each time you beat the game on either arcade or story mode you have to sit through the credits and that takes a couple minutes -- when you really wanna take those couple minutes to see what character you unlocked!

Overall it's a great game! I'd recommend it to anyone... provided they have a Dreamcast or even know what a Dreamcast is, really...

this is a sweet game for dreamcast the boxer are some what comey in the game it rocks

Except of coarse you can unlock secret players(shaq, M.jackson, Bill and Hilliary Clinton) through winning in arcade mode, the game play is the same as the first one, the championship mode is very differnt, altough I would have prefered that you could be able to defend your title after winning it. a minus is that the credits play after you win in championship and arcade mods, they are extremely long!! this gets cumbersome when your tring to unlock secret players.

Over all it's an ok game, kinda funny and cute, if you have some one to play it with I believ you'll get more satisfaction from it.
