hello all,

i went to my local software etc today, and i noticed that they had
CenterRing Boxing. Could someone post a review of this game? is it worth
getting?
also, another thing that bothers me about the saturn is the display
setup. they keep all the games behind the counter, and they have boxes
of the game on display. what bothers me is that they have Ghen, Wolrd
Series Baseball, and Centerring boxing in stock, but they dont have
display boxes in the store!
maybe that is a reason why they dont sell as many saturn games?
i dunno, just an observation.

YES!!!This game is a blast!At first the boxers seem kinda slow but after a
few bouts and after you upgrade your boxer in the main event mode you'll
get faster and better overall.Its great.Go get it if you are a boxing fan
or even if you are not for that matter!There's nothing like knowing your
opponent is getting his butt kicked then moving in for the kill while
he(or she) is trying to keep away from you and you go chasing them down
and POUNDING them with some killer combos!!!You have to go through 30
other boxers to achieve champion status so it'll be alot of boxing action
on the way to the top.You'll really get into this title.

This title is poor in respect to that vital quality 'Lastability'. I don't
want to sound cocky but it didnt take much effort at all to beat the 30
ranked boxers and 'The Champ' ! I learned NO combos on the way and got there
using left Jab 60% of the time, Block 30% of the time and occasional Hook 10%
. I expected it to be much tougher - this was my first attempt!

Don't get me wrong, it is a visually appealing Boxing sim (tho a lack of
blood) and beating up a Kangaroo is also fun. But please, next time - make it
harder !

Well either A) The software ETC in your area just got the title in, or it's
the last one they have, or that they are incredibly biased against the system.
I know that at the Electronic's Boutique that I work at, anytime we get
a new title in, if we don't have it already on the shelf, we take it to the
back, open it up, shrink-wrap the game and ut it's box up on display. (Unless
it comes with a display box,which then saves us the trouble... We do that
will all of our video game titles, even if we only have one single copy
available, we will put it up on display like that.
