Boxing Fever

Boxing Fever Description

The THQ published attempt at the ultimate handheld boxing game, Boxing Fever, looks as though it'll rival the highly respected Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, an original and successful launch game for the Game Boy Advance. Apparently, you'll "experience the thrill of victory and the shame of defeat". An exaggerated marketing ploy, or an accurate description of an involving game? Read on... In terms of fighting possibilities, Boxing Fever gives its players the opportunity to control the red fists of eight muscle bound male and female characters. All are fast and very strong, but each is slightly different from the next. And with names like Tiny, Major, Royal and Jackpot, each punch-thrower has a notably distinct personality. From flabby old fellas to well endowed women, you'll never take as much pleasure beating an opponent in any other games as you get in Boxing Fever. And in that respect, Boxing Fever is a highly provocative title. Ultimately, your goal within the world of artificial boxing is to climb the ladder and earn the coveted Golden World Trophy. Fighting in a first-person perspective you must execute a series of directional and button combinations to perform devastating attacks and quick reaction blocking techniques. But by far the most significant and valuable attribute to Boxing Fever is its multi-player link up option. Given a few hours with Boxing Fever in single player mode, the CPU opponents can sometimes get a little predictable, and sometimes we'd swear blind that they cheat. But playing against a friend makes Boxing Fever an infinitely unpredictable game. Quite simply, it's more fun and it adds significant replay value to the game. Buy a link lead!
