Having earned heavyweight reviews for its earlier installments, the KNOCKOUT KINGS series returns with its most realistic action to date. The fighters have higher speed and agility ratings this time, making for intense boxing action like nothing you’ve ever experienced. Play as any of your favorite pugilists, including legends like Ali, Frazier, Roberto Duran, and Sugar Ray Leonard, or such current favorites as Oscar De La Hoya, Fernando Vargas, Lennox Lewis, Bernard Hopkins, and many more. Ten real-life arenas serve as the backdrop for the brawling, and you’ll have real-life referees like Mills Lane and Richard Steel to keep things cool. A brand-new AI system heats up the computer performance, and commentary from Larry Michael and Max Kellerman adds to the excitement. As if all of this weren’t enough, there’s motion-capture animation, creative taunts, multiplayer tournaments, and 3D face mapping to provide optimal fighting detail. With so much going for it, KNOCKOUT KINGS 2002 leaves the competition on the mat.
