Boxing Legends of the ring was a well-rounded
boxing game. You had a great cast of middleweight Legends to
chose from, good graphics and an overall good game. Plenty of
boxing buffs who think the Middle Weight class is the best will
like this game. Sports fans in general will like this breath of
fresh air because we are too use to seeing, boxing games like
Evander Holyfield, and Greatest Heavyweights. This game is based
on your actual skills and boxing no how, and not cheap combos
like the as fore mentioned games. This game impressed me from
start to finish, and it is one of the best Genesis Boxing games
you can have in your collection.
Story N/A
Most boxing games follow the same type of story. You getr the
fight the best fighters of all time, you are a literal nobody
who just so happened to get 30 wins and 10 knockouts in your
short career. You have to fight the best there is and was greats
like Lamotta, Both comings of Sugar Ray Leonard and Robinson,
Graziano, Duran, and any a few others. Some greats that are in
the middle weight class today, who were out when this game was
created like Roy Jones Jr. and Oscar Dela Hoya were not present
in this game. Really you don't have too many young guys, most of
the guys are from the early 80's and back.
Graphics 7/10
The ring had an appealing look to it. The background and the
signs out side of the ring gave you the feel that you were in a
real prizefight. Their were HBO signs and Las Vegas signs every
where that is if you looked pass the opponent who was in your
face and breathing down your throat. The sprites were huge and
highly detailed al though everyone did have the same body frame,
which was cut up. The punches and the connection time were
perfected to a science, and flurries came out of now where at
any time. The characters moved pretty fast and much like real
boxers so you had to stay on your toes to dodge some of the
deadly combinations thrown at you. Some of the faces looked a
little cheesy and unrealistic, these were usually on the created
guys, the real guys looked pretty good though.
Sound 6/10
The song in the beginning of the game reminded me of music that
was pretty much found in most side scrollers at the time. During
the fight all you heard was the ring of the bell, and the grunts
of you or your worthy opponent. The ref did his part to, he said
fight, counted to 10, and knock out. Other than that there
weren't any voices or taunt calls from the fighters. The crowd
was live and energetic and they were pretty fickle, one second
they would cheer for you and the opponent. The sound department
went well with the graphics on this game and all the thuds of
the punches were time perfectly with the animation.
Game Play 8/10
This game was for 1 or 2 players. You had a nice list of boxers
to chose from, which I mentioned above. Each boxer had their
real life strength and weaknesses, like Lamotta was a slugger
who ignored blocking and was quick, exactly like the games
version. Their were 3 modes of play, Exhibition Career, and
Tournament. Exhibition was where you selected the options like
round length, TKO rule and the camera perspective. Then you
selected from the 8 available fighters, or you can use your
password for the created character. The season mode is where you
make your own pugilist. You give him everything name nickname,
look, skin color, and what types of punches do he throws best,
and how much power will be behind those punches. Then you get a
super punch. A super punch is given to you at the beginning of
each round, you can tell you have one if a small boxing glove is
next to your name. You have 3 different types Super Uppercut,
Super Hook, and Super Overhand. The maximum you can get is 3,
and they do a hefty amount of damage. When you first step into
the ring your first opponent will be Kinikini a fake boxer just
to test your skill on. Everyone after have is random, as you go
up you can look at your opponents stats, the first guys stats
will be low, but the top guy will have his true to life stats,
maybe even better. At first the game seems easy but like most
the farther you get the harder your opponent gets. After you
beat each guy you will have to fight him in a re match and their
a little harder the second time around. The last mode is a
tournament this mode will only be used once you win the career
mode, you will be given a password to use here. The difficulty
is adjustable and there is a password feature.
Overall 8/10
This a excellent game and one of the best boxing sims money can
buy. The replay value is high with a friend you can battle for
hours in grueling battle to see who is the best. You can have
all those dream fights with guys like Leonard vs. Robinson,
Duran vs. Toney and others. The fun factor is high too because
this was one of the first boxing games that had a real
innovative create your own boxer, where you can assign him the
power behind each punch. My only gripe with this game is the
fact that their aren't that many boxers in it, only 8 greats,
some home made guys with a 30 or so man season, and no rematches
would have been great. It gets a little tedious when you got to
fight the same guy countless times. Al though it is still
complete without, this also the tournament mode could have been
more innovative than it was as well. If your looking for a great
boxing sim that features middle weights this is your only
choice. That's a Dy$e Guarantee.
