Rage has perfectly captured the flavor of the boxing in the Rocky films, and by this we mean there is no pugilism to be found. [Winter 2002, p.107]

A technical knockout, really, considering there's not much competition. [Feb 2003, p.95]

It's a fun game, but like I said before, don't go in expecting a boxing sim. I would put this more in the same vein as Ready to Rumble except without all the ridiculous moves and boxers of Ready to Rumble.

Much better than most fighting games. Really puts you into the shoes of Rocky, and a thorough enjoyment for both gamers and film fanatics alike. If you enjoyed other fighting games, this is for you.

To our delight, Rage has done a wonderful job of putting the movie into game form, and at the same time has made a game that is actually good.

Even though it'll be too demanding for some, Rocky currently represents the best boxing title on the market. And our prediction for the last fight in the game? Pain. [Edge]

The main mode of the game that allows you to relive the past five Rocky films is disappointingly short, especially when you factor in the cheap-shot facet of the gameplay mechanics.

An adequate boxing title for fans of the franchise. [Dec 2002, p.144]

Despite its flaws, Rocky is the best boxing game I have played since the Evander Holyfield game on Sega Genesis, and it is surely the best boxing title on the Xbox.

Completely spoiled by a few major problems, the worst of which makes it possible to get by opponents using only one button.
