Greatest Heavyweights
SCORE: 62
I don't think the video my dad and I did
of Greatest Heavyweights will be online by the time this review is put
online. We are working on a massive pile of games that have been played
but not reviewed yet. Greatest Heavyweights on the Sega Genesis is a
great example of this. I played my dad in Greatest Heavyweights. The
main characters are the eight champions from different eras.
Greatest Heavyweights glitched on us during our video. Greatest
Heavyweights also glitched visually when it was played other times. I
cleaned this game with a Q-tip multiple times. It is possible the system
is having problems now. Other games did not glitch out like Greatest
Heavyweights though. I just know Greatest Heavyweights did not impress
me very much.
There are too many glitches in Greatest Heavyweights for my tastes. I
could see punches in this 2D side scrolling boxing video game go through
the other boxer and not count as a hit. How is that possible? Collisions
detection issues if you know what I mean. Graphically we have blood and
violence in Greatest Heavyweights. Characters have a damage meter to
show how beat up they are.
The game play modes of Greatest Heavyweights are Exhibition, Tournament,
and Career. Two of the older members of the family can box against one
another in Greatest Heavyweights. We can punch high or low in Greatest
Heavyweights. There are a couple of different punches we have in
Greatest Heavyweights. It can take forever to knock out certain
champions in Greatest Heavyweights.
The main characters in Greatest Heavyweights are Jack Demsey, Muhammad
Ali, Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, and
Floyd Patterson. All of them are put in their prime since they are from
different eras. I did not enjoy Greatest Heavyweights very much. I would
like to see some new boxing video games that are realistic though.
