Video Game Reviews of Victorious Boxers: Revolution
Customer Review: Great control/recognition, brief tutorial, hard to see drawn style graphics
Summary: 4 Stars
I love wii boxing & found the graphics too simplified, though since I lack control with my fighting from lack of training, I use speed over technique/precision. My views on Victorious Boxer was a horribly short tutorial, unhappy you have to hit buttons to guard or bob/weave (which gives it more of a learning curve taht should have been avoided) but sensed it had better responsiveness to wii boxing. I also found the drawing style of the look of the game harder to see the opponent's punches & the character moved much faster like real life, though harder to see. With all that, I did sense it recognized my punches better then wii boxing.
I asked a friend who has a black belt in several styles of martial arts & has trained for more then a decade try out first the wii boxing for his very first time. I had him do the training w/the punching bag & though he liked the simulation feel, he was disappointed with it the lack of recognition of his precision punches especially uppercuts & hooks. This carried over into the matches & though he liked it, he was more disapointed by the limitation.
He tried out Victorious Boxers next, agreed on the way too brief tutorial & then kicked b*tt on the game in only a few seconds with the settings on medium for both him & the computer opponent. He was VERY impressed with the recognition by a landslide over wii boxing. Though he was going to be late for something, he did not want to stop playing.
(The Victorious Boxer game was set on swing/punch only, just like wii boxing, no nunchuck control stick used for walking or classic style.)
