I did some research and this game came out roughly 25 years since the original if I remember right, This game is for those of you who wonder what it would be like to be the Italian Stallion. In this game you play as Rocky who goes from the rungs of despair and work your way up to the big time matches. This game has many modes including: Exhibition, Tournament, Movie and Sparing. The meat of the game is the Movie mode this is where the storyline is located. Once you get Movie mode completed Tournament mode will open up where you have the ability to play in a tournament up to 16 people. The storyline if I remember right is broken into 5 segments representing each movie you will face afew no name fighters and one big time fighter for example the first segment will be Apollo Creed, and so forth. The controls feel good I didn't detect any real lag at all. The only problem I had with the game was to me it felt like sometimes the fighters had a rubberband mentality (SP) than again it may just be me. Even though the game is nice it doesn't compare graphically to some of the other boxing games of the time that this came out. This game is good for any fan of the movies but if your a boxing fan I suggest you get a more accurate simulator. This game gets a 7 out of 10 because even though it isn't the prettiest it does its job good enough. It gets a T for violence.
