1UP: Punch-Out!! Review

1UP writes: "So, yeah. Not only is Punch Out!! worth the 50 bucks, but lands on a very short list of Wii games I feel that way about. Even better, while Punch Out!! makes for an entertaining enough solitary experience, the back-seat driving aspect makes it positively shine as a party game. There's nothing quite like having a few friends over, passing the controller around, shouting advice, and just generally bonding over some hilarious, bloodless violence".

Wow, very good score

[SiLeNt KNighT]

yeah im surprised too. nintendo needed a decent game to come along...its been a while.

[barom]

Anyone who can tell me who reviewed it? Don't wanna give them any hits (it's a semi long and boring story).

[Chubear]

You're actually going to convince yourselves that the general gaming experience of this game is far better than the likes of Blue Dragon, Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm etc?

You're tell me that this is/will be an equal or better gaming experience to the likes of FN4? Come on! The gaming community can't remain idiots for these gaming sites to manipulate it at their whim.

This is an incentives based business now. Give enough incentives over other games coming out when your game is coming out and you'll get an edge in ratings.

AN A+?! GTFO of here with that BS.

[JoySticksFTW]

I love the Arcade and SNES Punchout, but I'm surprised that this got an A+. That's elite status.

I think maybe this Ultra-high score could have something to do with all of the other crap shovel-ware on the system... it makes legitimate good games look extra special.

Again, I love Punch-out, but I have a hard time believe it's better than or up there with MGS3 & 4, Ocarina of Time, FFVI, etc...

interesting theory

[eagle21]

just ordered. :)

[Eiffel]

Good score, but I kind of expect reviews for a Nintendo title to be high from 1-Up.

[greyfox235]

madworld at gamestop brand new is $30, i am considering it?

p.s. should i rent

[Mini Mario]

I wonder where all the haters are

[gta2800]

They're probably busy playing their PS3 or their 360, where the true gaming action is at.

[KruLLit]

^^^^^^^

You are sooo lost.

[Chubear]

Actually I would say it is YOU who are lost if you actually believe this game is a legit AAA experience. I don't know why I'm talking so much about this today but I've just had it with the BS in the gaming industry. Especially with the insane crap Nintendo has gotten away with this gen with their wii gaming experiences.

"They're probably busy playing their PS3 or their 360, where the true gaming action is at. "

What do u call "true" gaming experience ..a generic FPS ?

Why all the hate towards good games>? Maybe if u tried it for a change u might be surprised to how addictive punch out can be.

And i have a ps3 and 360 and the games are just as fun (if not more) on the wii ..and DS for that matter

Why comment on games u have no intention of playing>?

[MajesticBeast]

A+ ye right... im sorry but it doesnt have enough modes for that only 13 fights instead of the previous punchouts cant play any1 except mack in split screen.

[2Negativecool]

My hairy c0ck it's an A. It is, afterall, a remake that fails to provide the complete bada$$ery of fighting Mike Tyson in the end.

[mint royale]

You fail to provide a coherent sentence that is in anyway relevant to the gamer zone.

[Mallow]

I do love when people cry about a score. Far as "boxing" game go Punch-out is the best and always will be, Fight night series, Ready 2 rumble(when it was good) just can't stand up to the classic Punch-out.

This game had me from the start, I didn't mind the 13 boxers bit and they have title defense mode ? challenges for each boxer ? 2 player mode ? Yeah, I have no doubt this deserves every high score it gets.

You ask me ? I think it's a shame when games like GTA, Halo, Killzone get those kinds of scores. Halo and Killzone are a dime a dozen yet people act like they're the most amazing FPS games ever and it always makes me laugh.

[TheBand1t]

Get off Punch-Out!!!'s nuts. It's a good game.

[Shoko]

Some of you are just hating.

as stated before, Punch Out!! does what it does well, thus the score. Game modes and amount of fighters shouldn't determine if a game is triple A or not.

You guys aren't true gamers. You think content makes a game now. It's all about the gameplay, which Punch Out!! definitely excels in. And plus, most of you have played the original, so I don't see why you're saying it doesn't deserve the score.
