Don King Prize Fighter Boxing

Don King Prize Fighter Boxing Description

Don King's not just some crazy guy with funky hair and an over the top personality. Oh no. Did you know that he's a boxing promoter, too? If you didn't, you probably also didn't know that he's muscled into the world of video games with Don King Presents: Prize Fighter. Prizefighter presents the life and times of your custom-made boxer as he battles through the ranks in a quest to become the best. Boxing fans are likely to get a kick out of the unique documentary style Prizefighter is presented in. As you go through the 50 or so bouts that make up career mode, you'll be treated to about an hour of documentary footage. You'll hear from the likes of Ken Norton and Larry Holmes and even see a few ex-girlfriends show their mugs to have their say about you. If it sounds like it's a straightforward path to glory, however, don't be fooled! Players will have to do things like decide between the allure of flashy movie premières and getting a good night's kip. Getting in the media spotlight isn't going to hurt your public perception, but it will take a chunk out of your stamina. You also can't expect to just step into the ring as an ace bruiser. You'll need to get stuck into a spot of training. The classics, such as nailing a speed bag, the regular punch bag and the choice of girls in the playground everywhere - the skipping rope - are all present and accounted for, depending on a rhythm game-type mechanic to get you into shape. All that and you're still going to have to get into the ring for some to dish out some serious punishment and take your hits like a man!
