Forums - Gaming - Famitsu Punch-Out! review and others

Honestly, the 50 Cent game has about twice as much quality gameplay as Punch Out. I was really pumped for Punch Out, and I loved the visual style, but the game is maybe $10 worth of gameplay. It is embarassingly short, even with the blatantly forced Super Circuit or whatever it is called. Really, it's an unspectacular game that heartily deserves unspectacular scores.

so you beat contender mode and title defense in under 2 hours? I mean $10 gets you into a movie which lasts 2 hours, so that seems reasonable right?




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I see the point you are trying to make, but the way I look at it $50 has bought me DOZENS of games with 5x more content than Punch Out, hence the $10.



You should easily be able to get 10-20 hours out of the game even if you don't beat everything. I agree it isn't quite worth $50 unless you are a fan of the series, but there is no way it is only worth $10. Yes, I could buy RPGs that are 100 hours long, but compared to similar games, Punch-Out!! has a good amount of content.

Seeing people diss Punch-Out!! in this thread makes me a sad panda. A very, very sad panda.

Famitsu scores are influenced by hype, obviously.

@ Tor

Me too. It looks very interesting.

I know. These casuals are ruining the industry.

To give a game with such steller gameplay and oodles of charm a 6 or a 7 is just wrong. No matter though, it's an awesome game and Next Level Games should be very proud of it.
