Victorious Boxers boasts a knockout combination of incredible 3-D motion-captured graphics and addictive gameplay. The title introduces gamers to Ippo, who, fresh off of the mean streets, meets an old trainer who puts him in the ring. Gamers must start at the bottom, then earn the right to a pro placement. Eventually, by working up the professional rankings, they may earn a crack at the world champion.

The game differs from other boxing titles in that it offers career progression through constant improvement, and gamers must learn new moves to progress. Listen to your trainer, and he will advise you as each fight progresses. You can take on more than 40 boxers in a huge variety of boxing arenas. See the crowds grow as each fight attracts a larger and larger purse!

5.0 out of 5 stars SO REAL IT HURTS, November 10, 2001

By 

Charles McDougal III (Pebble Beach, CA.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Victorious Boxers (Video Game)

The boxing genre has recorded a handful of hits ranging from the age old classic Mike Tysons Punch Out!! to the current heavyweight champion Knockout Kings. If not for Empire Interactive's keen importing eye, what is being heralded as "the most accurate boxing game ever conceived" may not have made the journey to American soil.
Even though it is drawn in a goofy anime style, Victorious Boxers' gameplay is as realistic as it gets. You wont find special moves, a health meter, or any video game fixations in this title. The design reflects the highest degree of realism. If you throw to many punches, you will feel your character tire. If you let your guard down and take to many hits to the head, your character will stagger, and struggle in his delivery. Through precise analog movement, you'll dance, bob, and duck like never before.
All of the punches, including slip jabs and uppercuts, are inplace with a unique delivery system. Depth is also represented with an interesting story mode, and over 40 characters from four different weight divisions.I had the lowest of expectations for Victorious Boxers, but once I got my hands on it I couldn't put it down. I think you will agree this is exactly what the boxing genre needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is real boxing!!!!!, October 11, 2002

Hi, I love this game. The most realistic boxing game out there. Your boxer is able to bob and weave, block, duck, slide sideways, jump back and lunge forward. This game is not a button smasher. You must use boxing strategy. Has over 40 fighters. Each with different styles. Keeps records of your boxer. It has a replay save also to watch your best fights. Good graphics. Good controls. This game kills KOK 2002, Mike Tyson boxing, Ready to Rumble, and I'm sure the new Rocky boxing game can't compete with this game either. This game is for TRUE BOXING FANS!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best boxing game since Punch Out, January 25, 2002

By 

Shaun O'Donnell "Shaun O'Donnell" (Fort Worth, TX USA) - See all my reviews

Punch Out has always been the king of the Boxing game. It is true we have had Ready to Rumble, George Foreman KO Boxing, HBO Boxing, and more. But none of them ever had the heart or pure joy and difficulty that Punch Out had, until now.
Victoriouse Boxers is based off an Anime or Manga of the same, or similar title. YOu start off as Ippo, a young feather weight trying to discover himself in the world of Boxing. LAter you play as some of the other guys in the same gym and so on. You face many, many boxers, from muscle bound brutes, to speed demons. At first you can rely on just beating into submission but later you need to build skill, I am not kidding when you get to later matches and get beaten within seconds because you don't know how to dodge right.
COntrols are very fluid and easy to master, one little recomendation though, set the left analoge stick to Expert (For full movement) and the L1 button to sway (So basically you hold L1 and use the Analouge to dodge).
The graphics are amazing, and the arenas are very well done to.
The sad thing is though is that this will go overlooked because it has very little advertisment, and even worse came out around the same time as Grand Theft Auto 3, and or FInal Fantasy X.
THis game is highly recomended, and like I said, this is the most fun Boxing game since Punch Out.
