Fighting Breaks Out at Rocky Party! (PS2/NGC) Screens

by Thomas on Nov. 8, 2002 @ 5:19 p.m. PST

It was virtual blood and sweat but the excitement was authentic when VIPs from the games industry enjoyed an evening of pugilistic pursuit on Thursday night, courtesy of Rage, whose critically acclaimed Rocky game arrives on the Sony PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube later this month. Check out the babes.. err screens i mean..

Visitors to Rage's glamorous 'Fight Night' at the Sports Café in Haymarket were treated to ringside seats as thirty-two of the industry's biggest hitters went glove to glove to win some fantastic Rocky-themed prizes.

After a nail biting, five round final, Official Xbox Magazine's Jon Attaway clinched a thrilling victory over his colleague Ben Talbot to become the undisputed Heavyweight World Champion. Jon walked away clutching his share of the purse – including a boxing glove signed by Mr T, whose Clubber Lang character appeared in Rocky III and features in the game.

Rocky has already had received widespread praise and has been called
"The best movie-licensed game since GoldenEye" by the Official Xbox Magazine; "The best boxing title on the market" by Edge Magazine;
"The most faithful and effective treatment of a film license ever" by Maxim Magazine; "Brutal, sweaty, bloody and full of character" by the Daily Mirror and
"Perfect arcade boxing - fast, fun and seriously violent" by Stuff Magazine.

Rocky is available now on the Microsoft Xbox and will be released on the Sony PlayStation® 2 on November 15th and Nintendo® GameCubeTM on November 22nd Priced at £39.99
