I was really looking fwd to a "GOOD" Wii boxing game that utilizes Wii's motion controls... and I'm still looking! This game would be better played on the Wii Classic controller over the Wii-motes! It was HORRIBLE! You'll get so frustrated that you will eject it and put it straight into the GFly mailer and be done with it. Seriously.

Don't waste a rental slot in your Q on this title.

I rented this game and sent it back the next day. The gameplay is terrible. Wii sports boxing is more realistic then this. I am ashamed to say that this was my first Gamefly game. The punches don't even swing with your hand. You will have to throw like 5 punches before you land one.

I was also angry that there is no Afro Thunder like the original N64 version (that guy on the cover is not him).

Take my advice don't waste your time and get this game or you will regret it.

If you're like me than you love reading IGN's and Gamepspots reviews before choosing a title. Both of these sites hate this game but I'm hear to tell you to find out for yourself on this one. I thought from the reviews that this game would be back in the mail the same day I got it but I've found it to be pretty enjoyable. I will say that the controls are not always responsive but I've found this to be true for ALL Wii games. Plus, if you're a competitor and not a chump a game like this forces you to hone your skills and when you finally get it, it is VERY satisfying. I've been up late every night playing this game and I thoroughly enjoy it and I love pummeling my kids created characters. The championship mode is lengthy and difficult but who doesn't like a challenge every now and then. Rent this one and judge it for yourself.

So i'll keep this point brief, if you get tired by climbing your stairs in the morning, this game is not for you. It will honestly take nearly three swings of your wrist to land a punch that you will more than likely end up straining your back, shoulder, or just know that some day you will owe a hospital bill based on this game. If you can't tell already, the motion detection is god awful. In fact, it's so terrible, I rate it among wii sports: golf in terms of motion detection.

This game could have been great! I no doubt spent loads of money in quarters to play these games in arcades and random community centers, but somehow they fumbled the end game. The characters are mostly there, besides a few tweaks and name changes, the crazy antics are still there, but it has nothing else.

I wouldn't even waste your time adding this to your Q, save yourself the potential stroke, heart attack, and carpel tunnel.

I have played this game before and it is similar to some of the other boxing titles. This one has more fun and colorful characters;which make it enjoyable to play.

the best boxxing game i've played for the wii

yet why the low rateing ur thinking cause the other two were a worse boxxing game who's name i refuse to recall and the other was wii sports. this is still bad it is also sexist. yep thats right there is only one girl u see in this game and she is the card girl. it looks good but thats all it has going for it the training u do to get better is bugged and the foes seam to know ur moves 5 steps ahead later on. it doesn't help that they have really odd names that they let u be called. all and all i'd more rate it a 3.5 but i wouldn't even waste my time renting this if i were u

Knockout Kings for N64

I am forgoing boxing games until Punchout returns. This is a failed attempt at utilizing a WII controller correctly. I can't remember a good boxing game for Nintendo since Knockout Kings. I wouldn't rent this game unless you are obsessed with boxing.
