If you ever thought you were the man (or woman) to smack the smile off of Muhammad Ali's face, or any other boxing great, then
Knockout Kings is definitely for you. 50 of the greatest boxers of today and yesterday have been compiled into one video game, allowing Fantasy Match-ups and possible future pay-per-views all at your fingertips. And those match-ups can take place in a numerous amount of ways: Exhibition, Slugfest, Career, and Fantasy Match-up. Exhibition is just a single bout with regular boxing rules, whereas Slugfest has no rules, and no mercy. Fantasy Match-up is what I was talking about earlier, have boxers from today and yesterday face up to see who is the best of all time. The Career mode lets you create a boxer, who's nothing but a bum, and take him through training in an attempt for greatness and a shot at the Championship Belt. Throughout, you have to make choices about where to train and whom to have train you. And after every fight, you practice more and more with a sparring partner and body bag. After each practice, points are given on your performance, which you then put towards your attributes of Power, Speed, Stamina, Chin, Heart, and Cuts.
The fights themselves take place in the most well known venues from all over the world, and are refereed by the ever-so-famous Mills Lane. He runs a pretty fair fight, so don't try too many cheap shots, or he will call the fight. And Knockout Kings has added Woman boxing to the series, along with four different fighting styles: Boxing, Slugger, Freestyle, and Crab Style. Seriously, this games screams, "Let's get it on!"
