Description
Boxing Legends of the Ring lets you take control of eight middleweight legends of boxing, Roberto Duran, Tommy "Hitman" Duran, Jake "Raging Bull" La Motta, Rocky Graziano, "Sugar" Ray Robinson, "Sugar" Ray Leonard, "Marveleous" Marvin Hagler and James Toney. You can either compete in an exhibition mode or play in career mode and become the greatest of all time.
The
set of punches in the game is pretty much standard, jab, hook,
uppercut, even the ever popular but illegal low blow. Also, for each
round and every knockdown you score on an opponent, you get a super
punch, a straight shot to the face and is almost unstoppable and
connected right could knock out your opponent, but if you miss, you
lose your punch for the round.
There are two main displays
during a fight, a damage inflict meter in the form of two boxing
gloves, one on each side and as a player connects a punch, the glove
will show a black area of where the glove connected and a damage meter
that show's the two fighters faces. As the round progresses, the
fighter shows more bruises and cuts and starts to flash red when the
fighter is getting tired and is the best time to land your super punch.
Another
feature is from round to round, your view will alternate, from looking
over your shoulder to the next round and looking at yourself over your
opponents shoulder.
