Rocky Balboa is a PSP game which brings back the memories of the final fight of the movie, where Rocky is trying to prove how he still has the heart of a champion, and his famous quite, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over”. The game has done full justice to Rocky’s extravagant fighting record. This game allows you to reenact various fights from all six of the Rocky movies. The best part is the historical game mode which allows you to fight as Rocky in 20 fights from the series. You also get to see all the known faces of the fighters, be it Apollo Creed or Mr.T.
Besides the historical mode, the player can also play in the exhibition match, where he has the choice of the various character options available. However, quite a lot of these options are just different adaptations or forms of the same character. Rocky Balboa (PSP) also features a fast lane mode, which includes a succession of challenges that have to be completed in the allocated time interval. There are around ninety of these types of challenges, and their objectives range from banging down the challenger in under a minute, to being a winner of the complete fight in just less than 10 minutes of gameplay.
As the player delivers and absorbs punches, the health bar occasionally starts blinking indicating that the fighter is just getting moody. If the player lands a particular punch now, he can then go into power mood mode, where the punches would hit much harder and have a higher chance of knocking down the rival by simply landing a few punches.
This game really looks great, as the boxers are well modeled and accurately designed. There are eighteen fighting venues available, which have been designed with perfection to match the actual boxing rings. The Rocky theme song is accompanied by the live commentary after each fight throughout the game. This game has surely been able to offer an excellent boxing experience to all Rocky fans.
