Punch-Out!!

Punch-Out!! Review

Talk about a homage to a favorite game from years past. The only thing missing from this game is Mike Tyson! Punch out is just flat-out fun. Not only fun, but good for you, because you will break a sweat playing this game. The motion-controls add an entirely new dimension to the gameplay. I haven't tried the balance board yet. The nunchuck is too much fun to abandon just yet. The cut-scenes are similar to the previous versions of the game and the opponents are hilarious. A few favorites return (Bald Bull, Glass Joe, Flamenco Kid...) as well as a few new opponents (Disco Kid). If you've never played Punch Out! before (or even if you have), get ready for some hilarious opponents and combos. The animations for knockouts, combos, intros, special moves, and post-fight are too funny at times. There are several game modes. My favorites is the circuit, although the CPU opponent has a tendency to fight cheap sometimes (unblockable devastating punches or knockouts just before the bell). Occasional cheap shots aside, it's a ton of fun to work your way up the circuit. This is a good family-style game. This is the best boxing game available, not only on Wii, but ANY platform. The only thing that would have made it perfect is if it had online head-to-head mode.

Glass Joe A fearful French fighter due to his extremely weak chin, Glass Joe will crumple to the mat quickly with just a few well-placed shots, making him an easy mark and a good warm-up for the fighters to follow. King Hippo King Hippo is both huge and an immensely powerful fighter, but can be weakened with the right combinations to the head and body, giving you time to go for the knockout if you can survive his onslaught. Von Kaiser An old-timey fighter whose rumored childhood difficulties have left him eager to dish out punishment in the ring, Von Kaiser is a dangerous opponent, but one who will turn tail if you can find his weakness. Special Attacks Players can obtain special 'Star Punches,' which allow Little Mac to take more health from his rival in a single punch.
