I'm sorry, but any game that allows Bill Clinton and Michael
Jackson to get into the ring and beat the crap out of each other is pretty
sweet. Even though the characters are great, Midway didn't fix what they should
have from the last game. The game isn't as strategic as it could be; it
basically requires no skill. It is to hard and random to dodge or block punches,
so instead you just hit all the buttons at once and hope to get lucky. Even
though the game is very simple and easy to just pick up and play, the game gets
boring after a while. Rings are also boring and always look the same.
R2R2 has a Team Battle Mode in
which you choose up to eight characters to go against eight others. There are
other modes to, but this is my favorite. One of the great new features is a
training mode which allows you to train a character to gain better stats. This
is something that many games today could benefit from.
R2R2 is a fun game but I would
recommend Mike Tyson Boxing for the better all around and more strategic
game.
