- Great control/recognition, brief tutorial, hard to see drawn style graphics
I love wii boxing & found the graphics too simplified, though since I lack control with my fighting from lack of training, I use speed over technique/precision. My views on Victorious Boxer was a horribly short tutorial, unhappy you have to hit buttons to guard or bob/weave (which gives it more of a learning curve taht should have been avoided) but sensed it had better responsiveness to wii boxing. I also found the drawing style of the look of the game harder to see the opponent's punches & the character moved much faster like real life, though harder to see. With all that, I did sense it recognized my punches better then wii boxing.
I asked a friend who has a black belt in several styles of martial arts & has trained for more then a decade try out first the wii boxing for his very first time. I had him do the training w/the punching bag & though he liked the simulation feel, he was disappointed with it the lack of recognition of his precision punches especially uppercuts & hooks. This carried over into the matches & though he liked it, he was more disapointed by the limitation.
He tried out Victorious Boxers next, agreed on the way too brief tutorial & then kicked b*tt on the game in only a few seconds with the settings on medium for both him & the computer opponent. He was VERY impressed with the recognition by a landslide over wii boxing. Though he was going to be late for something, he did not want to stop playing.
(The Victorious Boxer game was set on swing/punch only, just like wii boxing, no nunchuck control stick used for walking or classic style.)

Rating:

- Has its drawbacks...
...but, overall its a good looking, enjoyable boxing game. I'm not too sure what some of the other reviewers were expecting, i mean lets face it, the Wii-mote will always be a little hit and miss.

You dont need to be a fan of the Anime to enjoy this (in fact, i think this title will draw in some new fans) - the visuals are great, and the story is fun. Overall a cool title.

Rating:

- Don't buy this game if you are LEFT HANDED
There is no left-handed option on the game.

It's a pretty big oversight for what looks like could be a pretty fun game. You can try fighting right-handed, but it's kind of disappointing. I've been looking forward to this game for months...

Rating:

- Excessive Story
Fun boxing, but way too much of story that drags on. I'd say it's better than wii boxing, because it looks slightly more realistic, but, it's still definitely the cartooned version - overall, it's fun

Rating:

- Not that bad
A lot of people have complained about this game, mainly over the controls. While the controls are not perfect,they work just as well if not better than the WII Boxing depending on the setting you choose. (Though others would disagree.) The graphics are okay, while the voice actors are just plain annoying.I wish they had left the original Japanese dialogue with subtitles. If you don't like boxing or some sort of active workout, skip this game.

Graphics 6 out of 10
Controls 7 out of 10
Music/ Sound Effects/ Voice Actors 4 out of 10
Replay value 4 out of 10 No extras ( 7 out of 10 for a good workout)
