While the GBC title was anything but great, Midway is hoping that new technology will bring about a better game. My favorite boxer, Butcher Brown, didn't make it this version. Gameplay is similar to all other versions of the game. Players compete in single elimination fights and work their way up to the Champion round. In addition, the Rumble mode is back.
Players can build up their Rumble meter by connecting big hits and executing special moves.
The taunts weren't in the demo I played, but hopefully they will be included in the game's final version. Hopefully Midway and Crawfish Interactive can improve the overall look of the game before launch date. On a positive note, the developers successfully recreated a 3D ring in a 2D world using a unique rotating boxing ring. As you fight, the camera will automatically rotate around the ring to give players a good view of the action. Our writer has images and other materials provided by the game's publisher.
