Cool.

Thing is I'm not that great at the offline play on the higher difficulties, but online is made a bit easier by the majority of people being really impatient and just trying to KO with one punch. It's just a shame they ain't ready for Iron Mike's right hand.

As long as you take your time and pick your punches you'll do well. I think I've played about 20 online fights so far and I'd say a good number of my opponents rush in as soon as the bell goes. As long as you guard their heavy shots and weave away from their combos you'll be fine. It's surprising how easy it is to knock someone out with a counter, especially with Tyson using the right stick you just hit them with a left hook to the body and that keels them over a bit but while that's happening you smack them with the right overhand and they hit the apron.

This game sounds good!vl I like a game with a good story mode. Is it quite a technical game to play? Never played boxing games before but don't really want to if it's just an unreal slogfest every round? Is there a lot of skill to it?

It's easy to pick up, but hard to master. The story mode isn't very long, I think it took me about 3 hours or something silly. There's another, better mode though. You pick (or create) a boxer and then they start with low stats, you build up their stats by earning XP from winning fights and doing training mini-games. It's really good, and then there's the online which has been decent. Not much lag either, I've played a few people from Korea and also China and the connection hasn't been bad at all. Virtually lag free when playing other Americans and Europeans.
