The long-running Ready 2 Rumble boxing franchise is returning next spring in the form of Ready 2 Rumble Revolution (guess the developers didn't get that "Wii" memo). If you're not familiar with the series, it's a comical, arcade boxing experience. This time out your fighters are none-too-subtle parodies of recognizable celebrities. There's Brad Pitt's character from Snatch, Shaun White, James Brown, Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Simon Cowell, and more -- all with satirical aliases, of course. Michael Buffer, famous for his "Let's get ready to rumble!" announcement, will be calling the game.
"The first mistake of the game was the fact that players had to be online constantly. A requirement. This has been a single player game for nearly 24 years, and now it's not. The big problem is that the servers the SC functioned on, barely worked." -Play Legit
