"Possibly the biggest issue I’ve run into that I stated after playing the demo as well is that the action is so fast and intense that my hand severely cramps up. I literally can’t play more than one or two fights without taking a break. I put that on the style of the game which really doesn’t allow for any time to naturally relax."

Honestly, has a game this bad ever had this much attention? I don't think this game is even close of being on anyones radar here.

Good point. It has been released, no one really cares, and we need to move our attention and resources to something else.

Gamespot gave it a 3.5 .... ouch.

It was before the demo.

Yup it's not very good. I normally end up liking stuff like this despite reviews. Thought I'd give it a try anyway. Biggest dissapointment for me is that for some reason they decided to not let you make people out of photos on your hard drive. (PS3) Points for nice art direction/visual style at least and the soundtrack is pretty decent too,those people can stay,fire everyone else.

The gameplay is simply to manic and crazy to enjoy it.
And I know it's supposed to be an over-the-top boxing experience but it gives you so little control over what you want to do, it degrades into a button-mashing mess.

The CPU cheats as well and can lead to some very frustrating moments.
It's probably a good rental if you and some buddies wanted to pick up a box of beer, create fighters in your likeness and then go at it.
But compared to other fighting games (which this is as it's not really a boxing title) it's very shallow and much too fast to appreciate any kind of strategy.

Parrying can lead to some ebb-and-flow to multiplayer games, but against the CPU it's basically 'let the fists fly' and hope to knock him down, or stun him before you get nailed.
