Digital Champ: Battle Boxing


Genre: fighting - boxing

Publisher: Naxat Soft

Year: 1989

System: PCE


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

View is first person, almost like Punch Out. Blocking is pointless and overly difficult as well. you cna powerup a punch but these never connect. Instead, the only reliable way of ever getting in a lick is to throw a never-ending series of jabs by either mashing, or better yet, using turbo, on I (left jab) or II (right jab). In fact, I made it through two fights this way. Just holding down on one or the other button. It took 5 or so boring rounds to take out my opponent, but it eventually happened. Terrible


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

The are no modes. Just jump right in. And every fight seems to play out the same, so there's no variety like in Punch Out. Super boring stuff.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

Doesn't have much personality, except for the fighters, who at least look distinct from one another and give you a pre- and post-bout comment. Bare bones


Art Style Score: 3

Art Style Notes:

The opponent is a large sprite which darts and weaves around the scren. Looks pretty good, honestly. But that's about all there is to see in this one.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Some decent music and sound effects


Overall Score: 29

Review ID: 8030
