Super K.O. Boxing 2 [by Glu Mobile] is a sequel to their famous boxing game developed for dumbphones of 2006. This game is gloves-down the best boxing game available in Android Market. It is very well executed, smooth and cartoon-style graphics are very suitable for the game of this type. Controls are executed in already classic virtual pad style, with left side controls are used to block punches and dodging and right side has low and high punch, as well as super punch, that can be performed, if you have enough power, by holding and releasing the button; do this at the right time and you will send you opponent in knock out quickly.
The game actually surprised me with its ease of control and learning curve. I never thought I would like boxing game on my phone, but this one proved me wrong.
There are several game modes in this android application:
- Circuits – You fight your opponents one by one, going thru different stages, each boxer you meet on ring gets harder and harder to KO.
- Versus – simple versus mode. As you defeat more opponents in Circuit mode you get more boxers to choose from in VS mode, to kick their asses real fast.
- Challenge – similar to circuits, but here you have to defeat your enemy in compliance with rules given before round 1. For example – KO without using super punch.
First 3 opponents seem to be fairly easy – wait until you will be on the right with 15 pence, his middle name is probably dodger, you won’t be able to hit him unless you perform uppercuts, and he also has a trick up his sleeve – he can buzz you out!
What I like:
- Great game performance and graphics
- Free Ad-supported version of full game available
- Your opponents have personalities and own style
- Great controls
- Knock Outs!
What I dislike:
- Gets old after some time
