Synopsis :
Rocky is a fighting video game published by Rage Software and released in 2002. The game is based on the Rocky franchise.
In the game the player controls Rocky Balboa on his journey from a club fighter, facing opponents like Spider Rico, until his championship bout against Apollo Creed and beyond. The game sticks closely to the movies, with all included characters being at least mentioned in the movies. In at least the PAL markets the PS2 and Xbox versions of the game were packaged alongside the original Rocky DVD release. A sequel was also made, called Rocky Legends.
The gameplay mirrors that of other boxing games of its generation.
In Story Mode, the player takes control of Rocky Balboa fighting many opponents, either new or already existent within the film series. Regular boxing match rules apply to any fight: winning depends on how many punches the player has landed or if the opponent has been knocked down and not gotten up within a ten-second time limit. The maximum number of rounds in a match is 15, and a round may last for a maximum of 180 seconds. Story Mode also includes training minigames, where the player can increase Rocky’s stats. Each individual minigame increases a specific stat:
Punching Mitts: Strength
Speed Bag: Speed
Skipping: Stamina
Sit ups: Determination
Heavy Bag: Movement
Besides Story Mode, other modes include Exhibition Match, Sparring, and Knockout Tournament.
