 Great control/recognition, brief tutorial, hard to see drawn style graphics May 13, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love wii boxing & found it easy, though since I lack control with my fighting from lack of training, I use speed over technique/precision. My views on Victorious Boxer was a horribly short tutorial, unhappy you have to hit buttons to guard or bob/weave but sensed it had better responsiveness to wii boxing. I also found the drawing style of the look of the game harder to see the opponent's punches & he moved much faster. With all that, I did sense it recognized my punches better then wii boxing.
I asked a friend who has a black belt in several styles of martial arts & has trained for more then a decade try out first the wii boxing. He liked it a lot but he was disappointed with it the lack of recognition of his precision punches. He tried out Victorious Boxers next, agreed on the way too brief tutorial & then kicked b*tt on the game in only a few seconds with the settings on medium for both him & the computer opponent. He was VERY impressed with the recognition by a landslide over wii boxing.
(Both games were only played with using wii remote/nunchuck to swing/punch only, no nunchuck control stick used or classic style.)
 Has its drawbacks... March 30, 2008
...but, overall its a good looking, enjoyable boxing game. I'm not too sure what some of the other reviewers were expecting, i mean lets face it, the Wii-mote will always be a little hit and miss.
You dont need to be a fan of the Anime to enjoy this (in fact, i think this title will draw in some new fans) - the visuals are great, and the story is fun. Overall a cool title.
 Don't buy this game if you are LEFT HANDED January 26, 2008
There is no left-handed option on the game.
It's a pretty big oversight for what looks like could be a pretty fun game. You can try fighting right-handed, but it's kind of disappointing. I've been looking forward to this game for months...
 Excessive Story January 21, 2008
Fun boxing, but way too much of story that drags on. I'd say it's better than wii boxing, because it looks slightly more realistic, but, it's still definitely the cartooned version - overall, it's fun
Not that bad January 3, 2008

A lot of people have complained about this game, mainly over the controls. While the controls are not perfect,they work just as well if not better than the WII Boxing depending on the setting you choose. (Though others would disagree.) The graphics are okay, while the voice actors are just plain annoying.I wish they had left the original Japanese dialogue with subtitles. If you don't like boxing or some sort of active workout, skip this game.
Graphics 6 out of 10
Controls 7 out of 10
Music/ Sound Effects/ Voice Actors 4 out of 10
Replay value 4 out of 10 No extras ( 7 out of 10 for a good workout)
