This update of last years rather dreary
Boxing Manager I adds a spanking
new graphic element in that, yes, you
do actually fight. This will probably be
bad news for anyone who doesn't care
for actually fighting, but then anyone
who is down on violence is hardly
going to be buying a boxing game, are
they?. Still, it's all here, in the usual
D&H style. You can go for the WBC
Championship, for the WBA (What've West
Bromwich Albion got to do with this? Ed) or
even the IBF. You can fix a fight, take a
dive, even do TV interviews (although not,
sadly, with 'Arry). I am perhaps less drawn
to the idea of this one than the other two
(which my have been why I left it 'til last),
but it's a well-proportioned game
nonetheless, with probably little, if any,
regard for accuracy. Still, there's a strong
sense of atmosphere, even if no-one ever seems to be pummelled
a la Mike Tyson and put in
hospital (now there's realism!).
Rampant pugilists should lap it
up.
