Comments from the UK Official xbox magazine Rocky 9/10 review.
"We didnt like boxing games before we played this. Now, we only love this."
"Rocky's key and unique achievement is making boxing exciting to play."
"Rocky makes brilliant use of its licence - its up there with Goldeneye in the way it manages to capture the spirit of its cinematic source material so well. Its mix of nostalgia, intense rivalry, high drama and climatic punch-ups is brilliant and addictive. A big part of this is the music, which features some of the best tunes ever penned for a film."
"This is the only game to knock Halo off our lunchtime gaming schedule."
Good Points
Captures the Rocky spirit brilliantly.
Looks and sounds marvellous
Unpredictable two player clashes
Oomph in punches
Bad Points
Needs more single player options
