I found that I was remarkably addicted, but also frustrated with the defensive scheme.

Sadly there is one fatal flaw that destroys any illusion of this being a simulation – the controls. The punches are easy enough to get used to but moving your character around the ring is a nightmare.

With a complex control setup, Knockout Kings 2002 can be frustrating even before the first round ends.

Barring minor flaws in the face of greatness, Knockout Kings 2002 is the closest any boxing fan can get to perfection without the missing teeth and a serious reduction of IQ.

It may not be a true simulation, but it does capture the movement and punches more accurately then any other game. The game looks awesome.

Delivers the thrill of being in the ring with a totally new control scheme that offers players a greater degree of control over their fighters. Plus, the mobility of the fighters has been drastically increased.

Its gameplay flaws make sure Knockout Kings will never take the title.

While the control isn't quite to the lofty heights of "Victorious Boxers," it holds up well in comparison.

Saying that Knockout Kings requires extreme wit is almost as heinous as claiming that George W. Bush is the most intelligent man on the planet, it just ain't gonna happen.
