Knockout Kings 2002

Remember when we were kings? Knockout Kings for the PlayStation 2 is the most technically advanced, polished and comprehensive boxing simulation yet. This is essentially a more naturally-paced, realistic beat-em-up, where tactics and strategy reign supreme. This is cold, calculated destruction. If you played and enjoyed any of the previous games in the series, you'll be surprised at the vast number of improvements on offer. If you're a first-timer, then this game will give you all the training you require to reach the heights of world championship boxing.

Knockout Kings 2002 is practically a whole new game because the game engine has been completely reworked instead of the simple tweaking update that we expected. This means that the game feels a lot smoother and more fluid, the moves flow better and the game works better overall.

This game allows you to recreate the most exciting and historic boxing contests of all time. Players can pick from all time greats such as Mohammed Ali, George Forman, Joe Louis, and Mike Tyson. What would prevail, Ali's speed and cunning or Joe Frazier's brute street strength? There's only one way to find out and you can rewrite history.

Other noteworthy game features include motion capture animation and new motion blending techniques that make the game scarily realistic. New facial expressions give visual clues to the physical state of your opponent. The create-a-player mode lets you put yourself in the game and the improved artificial intelligence routines make the game more challenging than ever.

Knockout Kings 2002 is a rewarding game to play, and if you're a boxing fan, you'd be daft to miss out on this title.
