 Excessive Story January 21, 2008
Fun boxing, but way too much of story that drags on. I'd say it's better than wii boxing, because it looks slightly more realistic, but, it's still definitely the cartooned version - overall, it's fun
Not that bad January 3, 2008

A lot of people have complained about this game, mainly over the controls. While the controls are not perfect,they work just as well if not better than the WII Boxing depending on the setting you choose. (Though others would disagree.) The graphics are okay, while the voice actors are just plain annoying.I wish they had left the original Japanese dialogue with subtitles. If you don't like boxing or some sort of active workout, skip this game.
Graphics 6 out of 10
Controls 7 out of 10
Music/ Sound Effects/ Voice Actors 4 out of 10
Replay value 4 out of 10 No extras ( 7 out of 10 for a good workout)
 Not bad if you learn it. Better than Wii Boxing. December 25, 2007

If you actually learn how to throw punches and use the controls to move and block, it is a very enjoyable game. It's about 90% responsive to your punches. There are six basic punches- straights, hooks, and upper cuts both left and right. Once you learn to move and time your punches rather than flailing wildly away, you will enjoy this game. It's decent exercise as well. Just not much depth in gameplay. The anime drama aspect is so so for me.
Not as good as Wii sports November 27, 2007
Yet another Wii game that fails to beat the Wii sports controls (see also Super Swing Golf, etc..)
The game comes with a variety of different control schemes but why bother? Most don't work
and I didn't buy a wii to use a joystick.
Only "Swing mode 2" kinda works asuming you don't need to block or dodge quickly. Of course you can't beat the hard level without being able to dodge and block well... So your kinda screwed unless you go back to your gamecube controller. (Again I bought a Wii to escape joysticks)
What's really terrible is the games controls don't work as well as Wii sports boxing. I found after looking online for tips I was able to get the punch I wanted 95% of the time in Wii sports (it's all about turning your wrists)- but on Victorious boxers the best i was able to get was maybe 60%.
I was always able to dodge and block when I wanted in Wii sports... Victorious Boxers makes this a chore. Worse Victorious boxers want's you to aim your punches... of course the only way to aim for the body with your punches is to duck first (i.e. dodge forward) and there is a slight delay when you go from block to dodge... just slight enough for the fast characters to nail you in the face... long before you threw the body punch you wanted- Very annoying.
The story may be based on a popular Anime but I can't imagine why. The story sucks and the character design isn't great either. (esp the failed crosshatch shading they tried to use)
Even worse you quickly realize that you have to turn off the story segments if you want to beat story mode (as the story segments will cause you to auto-lose) Again kinda Lame.
It's not a terrible game, but could have been much much better.
It does have one thing Wii sports doesn't and that's a lot of boxers to play against and more levels to beat.
I use it as part of my morning exersise, but I wouldn't pull it out for friends to play.
 Stick with Wii Boxing November 26, 2007

Don't waste your money. As frustrating as Wii Boxing can be . I find the controls to be way more responsive in Wii Boxing. At least in Wii Boxing I know when the punches are connecting but in Victorious Boxers missing a punch and connecting a punch seem the same to me.
The first 2 control options which use the remote and the nunchuck to punch seem to work fine in the tutorial but is a crap shoot during sparring. I didn't even fell like wasting my time with the story mode at this point.
For now Wii Boxing with all of it's flaws is the "King of the Ring" as it is still way more fun and a lot less frustrating than Victorious Boxers. Best to just wait for something else to come along.
