I just tried it out. The first opponent was quite easy, but I did have to block properly and do everything you would do in real boxing. "It's a really immersive game," I thought. Then I lost to Ugly Joe, despite landing three times as many punches as he did. I went for the dummy and, seeing points per hit, I quickly realized the problem: in this game, technique is one thing, but you also have to throw punches as fast as the real ones and aim for weak spots to actually do some damage. Wow... that's cool... I tried again and it worked: Ugly Joe was even landing on the ground a couple of times, but I was so exhausted that I had to actually sit down after one of the rounds to catch my breath. When I finished I was soaked in sweat like I just left the gym and had to shower straight away.... my shoulders feel sore already too. This is not just a game—it's more of a boxing trainer! I'm very impressed.
I give this game a 10/10. I'll try to play regularly as this is not only fun but very good exercise, and I can't wait for the second installment with an online feature—it's supposed to be released soon. Awesome game.
