Victorious Boxers Site Live

Filed in archive Wii on September 13, 2007

Victorious boxers: Revolution now has a live European site, and it looks great. Combining first-person boxing with a Rocky-like story line and mangaesque presentation style, this is sure to take things a few steps further than the fun, but rather simple. Wii boxing.




The game features not one, but three control methods, allowing you to enjoy old-school controls or a more Wii-intensive swinging of dual controllers. Andrew Podolsky over at 1UP writes that:

"There are multiple control options, and you could just as easily play this one from the couch with the classic controller instead of working up a sweat in "swing mode." But if you do get in the ring with swing mode, you move the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to perform jabs, hooks, and uppercuts, while holding both triggers to block. The game records every landed punch at the end of each round, which is helpful because it's hard to tell if you're winning or losing in the midst of the action.

While this doesn't look like a perfect title, fans of boxing or the manga franchise from which the title draws its story will enjoy the 25 playable characters and chance to swing it in the ring.
