Timing is everything as you must make sure to lash out at your opponent as and when their guard drops to stand a chance. If your stamina is too low, you can’t punch very effectively so sometimes you’re going to have to play defensively in order for it to recharge. You have two gauges – one dictating your health while the other is for stamina. Keep tapping for jabs to weaken your opponent. Sweep a finger up for an uppercut, while a sweep down dishes out a body shot. Controls are intuitive and gesture based. During early matches, you can get away with mashing the screen, but you’ll soon be required to put some more effort in. It’s the quality of the boxing that really counts and Real Boxing 2: CREED shines.

Though, who really plays boxing games for the story anyhow? Each section of the game typically has you completing a training session, a story based mission, or a kind of character building mission. What more could you want? Well, a couple of things, but it’s mostly pretty good.Īdmittedly, while Real Boxing 2: CREED has some matches that tie into the movie, a lot of the time you’re working on forming your own character. It looks pretty great, it plays well, and it’s also the official game of forthcoming Rocky spin-off, CREED. Ditching the Kinect style motion controls of its predecessor, and generally cleaning up some issues, ensures that Real Boxing 2: CREED is the boxing game we deserve.
