Black & Bruised

THE BAD:
High level of difficulty even on lower levels, combos take some practice to effectively pull off

SUMMARY:
This is a rather unique fighting title-not only because it's the rare boxing game, but because it adds power-ups and unusual items to increase the fun of the game. I like the variety of different areas you can play in, and there are some cool cheats if you can figure them out. The characters even taunt each other between rounds, which is often funny. The tournaments & survival mode will test even the toughest boxer. This one is lots of fun to play, and is a great alternative to traditional fighting games. It's also a great party title too-be sure to taunt your opponents as you beat them silly!
