Summary

Developer:
Publisher:: Eidos

In Boxing Manager, players follow in the footsteps of legendary boxing promoters like Don King, as they make their way to the top of the business. Starting out with a small stable and just a single unknown fighter, he will be able to train and manage up to 20 fighters at the same time, as he aims for the championship titles in 3 federations and several weight classes.

Negotiate with locations, media, boxers, trainers and staff, as you set up bouts and promote them, juggling advertsising costs and income. The player supervises training, determines the strategy for upcoming fights and can adjust technique and tactics in detail between rounds.

With increased funds, he can sign better boxers and better staff, in order to be able to set up bigger and better live events for your fighters and market them to the public via TV, radio and other avenues. The slick menus, realistic 3D bouts and faithful, motion-captured animations guarantee for authentic boxing atmosphere throughout. In addition, the in-game editor allows you to create new fighters and individually determine their looks, as well as their strengths and weaknesses.

Boxing Manager Features:

Create your own champion boxer - Discover and train young talented fighters and give them tactical advice from the corner of the ring. Manage your boxers to victory!
The whole world of boxing - Promote your events with the help of TV spots, contracts, ticketing, etc. Work your way up to the top of the sport of boxing.
For beginners and pros - The clear menu layout and user-friendly controls will provide a full overview and total control of the game at all times.
Gameplay longevity guaranteed - Up to 20 of your own boxers can fight in all weight classes for the title in three groups. Become the champ of all the classes!

Customer Reviews

Submitted by Billy Dwyer

Provides about 10 hours of interesting gameplay before you realise it is ultimately formulaic and unrewarding.

The game allows you to create, buy and train your boxers then put them in bouts and earn money. At first this is challenging as you cannot afford all the best boxers and training staff. However, after a time you do buy in all the best trainers (and a top-rated sports co-ordinater who keeps all your boxers' contracts down thus making you more money) and the game quickly becomes a monotonous exercise in arranging bouts every month. Once you have bought a top rated youth trainer who has created a top rated young boxer who has progressed through the 3 divisions to become world champion the fun of the game is gone. What's the point of doing exactly the same thing in every single different weight when the gameplay remains moreorless the same? It is good for about 10 to 20 hours gameplay tops. 3 stars at best. Good buy at £5 as a niche purchase.
