| Reasonable said: Boxing on all the motion controls sucks IMHO. I just don't think - though it seems temptingly otherwise - that the sport suits a motion control videogame equivilent. Not unless the game actually makes you learn to box. Just doesn't work for me otherwise. I note Kinect boxing is getting panned too. And while it's probably held more fondly, the boxing I've played on Wii is equally awful - but luckily delivered as part of a package. I don't think it's an easy sport to create a fun approximation of, which is the core of the issue. I also think it's simply too slender a concept to create a full title around. Even at the lower price I just don't see the value. Personally something like this or the Kinect boxing should be low cost, niche download titles IMHO. |
I think boxing is pretty fun as a social game. That's where I think these developers need to focus on rather than realism. Playing wii boxing with non-gaming friends is hella fun despite not having great controls. You don't need 1-1 controls or perfect accuracy for a fun game, in fact it may be an impediment to a certain degree.
But I do agree that boxing makes for a better mini-game as I probably would never pay full price just for a few moments of fun.
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
