RockyÂ
Rocky is a fighting video game publish by Rage Software and release in 2002. The game is base on the Rocky franchise.
In the game the player controls Rocky Balboa on his journey from a club fighter, facing opponents like Spider Rico, until his championship bout against Apollo Creed and beyond. However, the game sticks closely to the movies, with all include characters being at least mention in the movies. In at least the PAL markets the PS2 and Xbox versions of the game were package alongside the original Rocky DVD release. A sequel was also made, called Rocky Legends.
Gameplay
The gameplay mirrors that of other boxing games of its generation.
However, in Story Mode, the player takes control of Rocky Balboa fighting many opponents, either new or already existent within the film series. And regular boxing match rules apply to any fight: winning depends on how many punches the player land or if the opponent has been knock down and not gotten up within a ten-second time limit. Moreover, the maximum number of rounds in a match is 15, and a round may last for a maximum of 180 seconds. And Story Mode also includes training minigames, where the player can increase Rocky’s stats. Each individual minigame increases a specific stat:
- Punching Mitts: Strength.
- Speed Bag: Speed.
- Skipping: Stamina.
- Sit ups: Determination.
- Heavy Bag: Movement.
- Besides Story Mode, other modes include Exhibition Match, Sparring, and Knockout Tournament.

What a game! Rocky is one of the best Gamecube games there is. It is a total blast. It is one of the best rock ’em sock ’em games I’ve EVER played! I don’t get these people saying, “Oh, it’s okay but not that great.” What’s wrong it? I think this game is totally AWESOME!!!Playing on Movie Mode is a lot of fun. It is cool to see scenes from the Rocky movies and hear audio clips. And in the gameplay, it is really fun to taunt your opponents with actual Sylvester Stallone audio clips. (I taunted Clubber Lang several times in the game on purpose, just so it would be like the movie :) It also has taunting audio clips for Apollo, Clubber Lang, Drago, and Tommy Gunn.It feels like you are in the movie while you are working out with Mickey. Then later Apollo becomes your work out guy. It is a great game. Man, Ivan Drago was so hard to beat! “I will break you.” Well, you didn’t buddy!You MUST master the training games if you want to be able to beat the tough guys later in the game. This can be really frustrating, and it is tempting to use Autotrain exclusively. But you are going to stink later on if you do that. Here are some tips for getting a “Champ” rating every time:1. Strength – This one is easy. Just concentrate on hitting the right button combinations. Don’t worry about your speed. You’ll get a perfect score.2. Speed – The small punch bag is tricky at first, but this one CAN be mastered, no sweat. Just start out tapping the button slowly, getting into a rhythm. Watch wear your gauge is, and slowly start speeding up your tapping (not too fast) to move it up. When you have to change hands or change to doubles, you will momentarily drop down in speed. The way to compensate for this is to speed up on the new button for a few moments, then as you see your gauge start to go up, then drop your speed back down, then work it back up slowly. Before long, you’ll be getting +10 every time!3. Determination – One way I found to get a really good score on this one is to use your left thumb for the B button and your right thumb for the A button. Just tap them alternately as quickly as you can to do the situps, and hold down X when the trainer chops you. +10 Determination, no problem.4. Movement – The heavy bag is intimidating because it looks like you can never win, but there is a secret. Just do your super punch over and over. Forget doing combos, forget doing anything else. Unlike the real fight, in training you have unlimited super punches. So tap that R button then tap X. Do it over and over, and stay in the green zone. Every super punch earns you 320 points. Get over about 9750, and you’ve got a perfect score!5. Stamina – Rope Skipping. This is tricky, but it CAN be done. Just watch the green light, and tap the A button in sequence with the flashing. Push down on the control pad to get a trick going. It will show you the sequence. To make it work, substitute the different buttons in the sequence in place of your regular rhythm with the A button. Be sure to keep the exact same rhythm, and you will complete the trick. At first I thought that you were supposed to hit all those buttons in between jumps. Not so. You hit those buttons in place of your jumps, and it works.This is a fantastic game. The multiplayer exhibition fights are really good. You can choose to be any of the players you have unlocked. You can even play with up to 15 human players at once in the knockdown tournament! That part is really great if you can get a bunch of friends together.When you beat the Movie Mode you unlock the Knockdown Tournament mode. You can unlock different tournament levels by beating the tournaments. Beating the Movie Mode on Contender and Champ Levels will unlock the Rocky Statue and Mickey. That scrawny old man still packs a punch!Be sure to watch for Clubber Lang’s intro where he punches the camera…Pros:1. Large selection of boxers to play with.2. Smart AI that is very tricky.3. Great graphics and sound effects.4. Excellent and intuitive play control.5. Good use of movie license.6. Fun to see blood splatter on the screen when you hit the guy, and blood stains stay on the mat as well.7. Good challenge.8. Great boxer intros and music that is unique for each boxer.9. Very replayable.Cons:1. The crowd cheers need a little more “oomph” behind them (sounds like not enough people cheering).2. We don’t get to hear “Eye of the Tiger” anywhere in the game.3. We don’t get to see Thunder Lips, a.k.a. Hulk Hogan.4. While all boxers can taunt, only 5 of them have audio clips.Eye of the Tiger – It’s the ITALIAN STALLION!!!

Being a fan of all the “Rocky” movies, of course I bought this to further extend my Rocky collection from the movies to the video game. Without even renting the game first I bought this game and as soon as I played it, I loved it. It’s AWSOME fighting as the Itallian Stallion. There are over 25 boxers in the game including the boxers from all 5 Rocky movies such as: Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang, Ivan Drago, Tommy Gunn and even Rocky’s trainer Mickey Goldmill. I will say the Mickey fights really well in the game.The game has a few selections of different gameplay. Of course, you have Exhibition, Knockout which is the boxing version of wrestling’s King of the Ring. Also there is Sparring which is training mode, and Movie mode.The Movie mode is great. As Rocky Balboa you start out in the first movie on November 25, 1975 fighting Spider Rico just like the movie. After defeating three opponents, a movie plays which is the clip from the first Rocky movie when Apollo is searching for a contender to fight on New Year’s Day. Apollo is hard to beat. HE IS FAST! He jumps around the ring and just pumps those jabs in your face just like the movie. After defeating Apollo, and after defeating another three opponents, the clip of Apollo demanding a rematch with Balboa on TV plays just like in Rocky II. Then after defeating Apollo again, the clip plays when Rocky says, “Yo Adrian! I did it!” Then three title defenses and then the fight with Clubber Lang. After that, the fight with Ivan Drago. The movie clips plays before fighting Ivan when Apollo is killed in the ring. Drago is tough to beat. His punches are tough! Watch out! The last part is the fight with Tommy Gunn in the STREET in street clothes outside the bar. The sounds of the punches are a lot better because you’re punching with your bare hands.The fighting is pretty good. As you punch your opponents face more and more, the face swells up and bleeds. The basic punches consist of: Belly jab with the right or the left, Side body jab with right or left, Head straight jab right or left, or side head straight right or left and left or right uppercuts. Every boxer had 2 special punches. Rocky has a huge body shot and a huge uppercut. The uppercut is awsome. Apollo has the wind-up punch, and Ivan Drago has the big 1850 PSI punch to the head which will really knock you out.Overall, this game is great. The only things I that I do wish were in the game are “Create a Boxer” mode. It would be cool to create a boxer of your choice.For those “Rocky” lovers, this should be the next piece of your Rocky collection.

I bought this game and Need For Speed Underground last weekend. I can’t stop playing Rocky though. It was only $15 at BestBuy. I took a risk of buying it without renting or reading about it and it turned out to be my favorite Gamecube game yet! Really fun! Better than Punch-Out for Nintendo 8-bit. My only complaints about it, is that I’m going to wear my thumbs off from playing it. You’ll get real sore. The training sessions in movie mode are possible and they get you more points if you do them instead of that autotrain. The movie parts of the game are comical to me. It’s also a two player game, where you can box your friends or participate in a tournament with them. Etc.. etc.. Awesome game!

Dude this game came perfect!! They said it was used but you can barely tell. This game was my childhood and my uncle beat movie mode in one whole day and I plan on it to. Thank you :)
Exelent
Amazing. Very good game
very happy shipped on time
fun game, very old school seeming
The first thing you will notice about the game is how ridiculously disproportionate the characters look. Wow, in a world of Dead or Alive Extreme Volley Ball, couldn’t UBI Soft do better that this? Okay, but you get to beat up on Apollo Creed and all the other antagonists from the Rocky movies, so maybe there is something here. Not so. I was bored in minutes. With so many excellent fighting games out, how can one endure repeating a few simple moves? (Punch, punch, jab . . . jab, punch, punch.) It’s pretty bad. And when you get hit hard, little blue start appear above your head. Once I got hit with a jab the stomach, and the character flipped up and around, and landed facing down on the mat. It was more like a move in professional wrestling. But hey, if you really want a boxing game, you might like it.

It’s “Knockout King’s 2004”, but still very fun game, with the “Rocky” characters
