$20 game of the week: Rocky (GC, Xbox, PS2)

Okay, so It’s no Fight Night, but this Boxing game brings home ROCKY BALBOA! How ill is that? You can even play as his opponents, including Apollo Creed, Tommy Guns, VIctor Drago, and Clubber Lang. Not only that, but all the minor opponents from the movies have been included as well. You can either choose to take Rocky to the top as in the movies, or you can take one of the other boxers and take him through the tournament mode. My only beef is that Hulk Hogan’s character Thunderlips wasn’t playable, but oh well. For those boxing fans looking for something other than Fight Night or fans of the movies, you can’t go wrong at all with this.
