You can throw several different punches like jabs, headshots, body blows, low blows, and my personal favorite, the haymaker. You can also duck, bob, and weave. The game has some very average graphics and camera angles that are worthless during most of the instant replays, but the game is a blast to play, and the create-a-boxer feature is so incredibly cool. Imagine making up boxers of you and your friends, co-workers, even your boss, and pounding the hell out of them. (Or better yet, make characters out of the Electronic Arts employees that shelved
Thrill Kill and kick their asses). I would highly recommend
Knockout Kings to everyone.
Special Bonus For DexDrive Owners: Do you have Knockout Kings and a DexDrive? Would you like to test yourself against the employees of PSillustrated? (Or, do you want to beat the crap out of us for giving your favorite game a bad review?) Here is a DexDrive save that contains boxers in the image of Geck0, Ash (As “Sm-Ash” because there are no girl boxers in the game), and Glom. As a bonus, there’s a festive X-Mas Glom to pound on.
