We are big boxing fans not only for real life boxing but also gaming wise. We were overjoyed to hear of the new game from Ziggurat Interactive! World Championship Boxing Manager 2 is a sequel that captures the essence of the original and gives it a modern look into the boxing world. World Championship Boxing Manager 2 recently came out to consoles, and we are excited to jump in position to box one out against our foes.
We were able to get a review copy of the game for our Xbox Series S console. We were able to download the game to our Xbox Series S console quite quickly and didn’t take up too much space at all. I enjoyed playing the game and learn the different aspects of managing a fighter. I didn’t realize all that took place to make sure your fighter was in tip top shape for the next fight. I also realized that booking a fight, getting your fighter’s name out there, and more is so unique and different. You gain a better respect for managers out there that actually manage the fine details of a fighter’s training regiment.
Here are our thoughts:
Pro:
- Pixel Graphics
- I’m a huge retro fan and love the game deployed pixel graphics! Watching the story unfold of the fighter and manager through those pixel graphics were pretty sweet. I enjoyed reading the story and seeing the manager and fighters come to fruitarian throughout the game.
- Managing Fighters
- I have a new found respect for managers of fighters! I didn’t realize all what took to make sure a fighter was ready for the next fight. You had to make sure there was proper training, rest, time for doctors, and more. I was able to create a time management scheme for my fighters that helped them grow as a fighter but enjoy their time with my gym.
Con:
- Weight Class
- As a boxing fan, I’m used to seeing various fighters in different weight classes. I know in this game, you fight to grow your name, your brand, and make some money. I would like to manage fighters in different weight classes and see how their training regiment could differ between each other.
