  Punch-Out!! gone bad? Yup... Simple, funny and old school... All qualities a game should have... I mean video games are supposed to entertain you right? This one does. I could ramble on and on but what's the point? If you are looking at this review you obviously know what a boxing game is right?

  Fun and easy to pick up boxing game. Feels very much like punchout with upgrades and a monster theme.

  Fun game, kind of reminded me of Mike Tysons Punchout. Wish It was longer, did no take that long to beat it.

  Beast Boxing Turbo is the PunchOut or Wii Sports Boxing for the PC. It controls pretty much the same way as those games and it has the same looks as PunchOut and actually manages to look a bit cooler thanks to the variety in opponents, even if there are only 12 of them. The game really is beautifully rendered, but the fact that the backdrops and the crowds are in 2D is a bit disappointing. You can use the mouse or controller to land your punches and there's an extensive tutorial to help you ease into the game. Except that, by the game you reach the 10th opponent - and at the same time the last tutorial - the game is almost over. Yes, there's a New Game+, but it's still a shame if you're not into stuff like that, or simply do not have the patience to go through it again. Defeating opponents rewards you with money. Money that can be used to upgrade your character by training at the gym or by buying equipment. By the time you reach the last opponent you're probably already strong enough to take him down the first time. My advice; don't spend your money on equipment, just use the money at the gym to make your character stronger. I praise the developer for not letting me grind in order to defeat the last opponent. But at the same time I wish it was made more difficult. Because Beast Boxing Turbo is a fun game, but a short one. Two hours and you're done with it. I really, really, really hope there'll be a sequel, with more opponents, a better tutorial system (or more opponents after the tutorial) and more incentive to keep fighting (or to do rematches). Even with its 2 hours of playtime BBT has become one of my favorite games. [Rating: 84/100]

  Well, its a nicely designed game. If you are fan of punch out, you should play this, at least once (and i probably think that playing it twice is about right to stop). Few good things and only 2-3 bad, which hurt this game a lot. Good Pretty models, nice animation, decent soundtrack, responsive controls. Bad. Remember that in punch out you were static in the middle of the ring and you had to dodge all the punches/combos? Well, this is the bad thing here in BBT, you can move freely, which is kinda nice, but the AI is so dumb that will do a special move when you are on the other part of the ring, although you can dodge/counter, why bother if you could just run away? This game is so easy (and boring after 3rd-4th fight ) because the AI cant land a punch, or combos since you just run away. There is supposed to be a special punch button, but i couldnt use it for some reason (unless wasnt any to start with). Unfortunately you can beat the entire game with just jabs. Way too short. Little to no replay value. I dont want to be harsh to this game since is well designed, except for the "free move" mechanic, it ruins the game. Had they anchored the heroe to the center of the ring, the replay value would have gone trough the roof. Buy it only if you really want to play it, because you will abandon it in 1 hour

  Not played many boxing games but this one does the mechanics fairly well with its attacks but sadly the fights in the game become mostly strafing away from your opponent and spamming your attacks at the right time. With more limited movement the fighting could have been a fair bit more interesting and challenging. The games story mode contains about 12 fights in increasing difficulty and adding new abilities step by step, but due to needing to upgrade your skills and equipment the game becomes a bit grindy and repetitive. The story itself along with the games graphics are sound are mostly passable and don't really add much to the game. Contains the usual progression achievements along with some stuff for doing fights in a certain way. It also has three difficulty achievements that thankfully all unlock if you beat the game on the hardest difficulty. [b]Time to 100%:[/b] 3-4 hours

  "In the Beast Boxing Leagues of Beasthalla, the strongest monsters fight for fame and fortune." You are Char, a great fan of Beast Boxing. You dream abotu one day becomming a beast boxer yourself. But there is one problem: you are a human from the slums and humans are not allowed to compete. So you buy a monster costume and trick your way to a qualifying match for the Bush League, the lowest league there is. And that is where the game starts and you start to jab, cross, hook and uppercut yourself to fame and fortune. And eventually realize that youa re fighting for more than just your dream, but human rights and the place of humanity in a beasty world. The controls are fairly simple, be it controller or keyboard, requiring only either an analogue stick and two buttons, or the arrow keys and two punching keys. As you progress through the game, you are tought to block, dodge, counter and preserve your stamina through a series of optional tutorial fights. There are 12 opponents in total to unlock and you can do exhibition matches against any opponent you have defeated. Every fight nets you cash. This you can use to buy better equipment and to train your skills. Sometimes you may need to take a step back and practice with weaker opponents, earn some cash and upgrade your equipment before being able to proceed through harder leagues. On normal difficulty, the story mode took me just under 3 hours. There is a New Game Plus though where opponents are tougher, faster and hit harder. And there is an Endless mode, where you can test your boxing skills and see how long you can last. There can be a bit of frustration when opponents seemingly hover just outside your reach and none of your punches connect. But perseverance will see every beast that gets in your way K.O. on the ground. Overall a very fun little game that keeps entertaining far beyond a single playthrough.
