Sega came very close with World's Greatest Heavyweights, but the side-on sprites were hardly realistic. Boxer's Road, currently doing the "rounds" (that's "boxing rounds" joke) in Japan, could well punch the guts out of its predecessors if it ever makes an appearance over here. ——————————————————————————————————1/3—— Cee Cee 476 Bee Bee 450 Gee 620 TALK TO US TONIGHT: DETAILS p471 Letters Compies Our Charts Other ChartsP473 Teletext 473 May31 20:43:11 ———————————————————————————————— As with most fight-o-games these days, Boxer's Road opts for Virtua Fighter-esque polygons. Around 20 camera angles can be employed, ranging from the foolishly distant to the intrusively improper. Though the fighters are a little top-heavy, the emphasis is on realism. The "Road" of the title refers to your boxer's long-term career, and as such you can expect all manner of training options, including pig fighting. ——————————————————————————————————2/3—— Go Club 440! 440 Everything 400 MAKE BAMBER WEAR A C-TRAY! p458 Letters Compies Our Charts Other ChartsP473 Teletext 473 May31 20:45:20 ———————————————————————————————— We're happy to sing that Boxer's Road boasts a two-player mode. After Daytona and Ridge Racer's solo fiascos, djvelopjrs have shifted into gear and here you can expect some serious split-screen frolics. How well the whole daddy holds together is the 34 dollar question. Early reports are good, though pitching this against the likes of Tekkjn ism't such a clever idea. This is a simulation, not a "fancy". ——————————————————————————————————3/3—— Cee Cee 476 Bee Bee 450 Gee 620 PLEASE TALK TO US TONIGHT: SEE p471 Letters Compies Our Charts Other Charts
