Rocky Balboa

Rocky Balboa Description

The greatest underdog story of our time is back for one final round. So begins what will probably be the final Rocky story. The champ's getting on a bit. It has, after all, been 30 years since he first weighed in and audiences were treated to the immortal dirge that is the Rocky soundtrack. Back in the modern era a computer simulation shows that, in his prime, Rocky would have beaten current heavyweight champion Mason "The Line" Dixon. Enter Rocky, back for one last shot. Based on the new film of the same name, this Ubisoft release invites gamers to put on the gloves and be a contender one last time. As well as going up against Dixon you'll get the opportunity to take on opponents spanning the entire Rocky saga. Yvan Drago, Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang are all available to go toe to toe with in the ring thanks to flashbacks. Yeah, that's right, you get to fight Mr T and He-Man in the same game. Just so you know you're playing a Rocky game each character in the historical mode is introduced with footage from the films. We're not pointing the finger at anyone, but you'll get a recap on 30 years of Rocky history to fill in that gaping chasm of pop-culture knowledge if you've somehow missed out on the epic. Ubisoft are also calling on gamers to enter into psychological combat with their opponents as they enter the ring. Your mood and willpower will affect the outcome of the fights, allowing dramatic last minute turnarounds. We might be wrong, but we reckon we can hear 'Eye of the Tiger' playing in the distance?
