Most sports titles can be divided into either simulation or arcade genres. Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, with its face-pounding action and weird characters, needs its own category: surreal.
Choose from a variety of fighters who you'll never see enter the ring at Caesar's Palace, including a featherweight whose Afro is wider than his shoulders, and a very heavyweight who moves slowly but punches hard. Fighters choose from a bank of standard punches--uppercuts, jabs, etc.--and each fighter boasts unique attack moves, such as spitting, groin punches, and head-butting. With the combination option, fighters string blows together in a spectacular offensive burst.
To succeed as a real contender in Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, take advantage of the game's training mode to build up your bruiser before striding out to the ring.
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, exclusively for Game Boy Color, is among the first to utilize Nintendo's rumble cartridge. With it, boxers will feel every thundering punch.
