About this product

Product Information

In Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Midway takes a comical approach to the sport of boxing by creating a cast of off-the-wall characters who can perform typical boxing moves and specialty moves not found in a real boxing match. <br><br>Ready 2 Rumble Boxing features a large number of playable characters including the retired cab driver Afro Thunder, sumo wrestling grand champion Salua, and Eastern Europe's living legend Boris "The Bear" Knokimov. Each of the characters were created from scratch, and their footwork is supplied by a real-world kick boxer via motion capture animation. In the ring Ready 2 Rumble's characters experience the same punishments a real boxer would encounter, from open wounds that bleed and jaws that can become dislocated to skin that bruises and teeth that can be knocked out. Along with specialty moves a boxer can perform a "Rumble Flurry," which awards letters each time they inflict a certain amount of damage. <br><br>There are two primary modes of play to fight in: Arcade and Championship. Arcade can be played as a single-player match against the computer or a head-to-head match between two players. Also in this mode players can fight their way up the ranks to become the champion on one of three difficulty settings.<br><br>Championship mode allows players to attempt to take a fighter to the top of the rankings. Before selecting a boxer players must first create a gym where the boxer will train and increase his abilities. Training takes place through mini-games that typically require players to use timing and rhythm to be successful. Boxers have seven different types of training: Rumble Aerobics, Sway Bag, Speed Bag, Heavy Bag, Weight Lifting, Vitamin Program, and Rumble Mass Nutrition Regime.<br><br>In order to train successfully, equipment must be purchased by using money that can only be earned during prize fights. The money won can be used to purchase equipment as well as to enter title fights. Title fights each have an entry fee and this is the only place where boxers can improve their overall rank.<br><br>Ready 2 Rumble Boxing also includes Michael Buffer and his trademark phrase "Let's Get Ready to Rumble."

  • Let's get Ready 2 Rumble!

    It's an awesome game. The patched version of Ready 2 Rumble Boxing is a really fun game, filled with cool characters and you got Michael freaking Buffer boxing himself as the ring announcer (hence his catchphrase "Let's Get Ready 2 Rumble!"). I'm so glad I rebought this game to replace the original, buggy release (yellow disc) with the patched release (red disc). "Let's get Ready 2 Rumbleeeeeee!!!!!

    Overall great but flaw on disk where soundtrack glitches and keeps doubling and sounds terrible and scratchy. 5 minutes into the game you notice it. Game plays great though besides that.

  • Lets Get Ready 2 Rumble!

    Ready 2 Rumble Boxing is a super fun arcade style boxing game. With plenty of secret additional boxers in this game Ready 2 Rumble Boxing will have you coming back for more. A common game, yet an uncommon version of the game.

  • Good deal if the games worked

    Ready to Rumble doesn’t actually work. Loads to the character select then freezes. Rest are working tho.

    I once again have Afro Thunder at my thumbs. Thank You. A shame Midway went under. This would look great on modern consoles.
