About this product

Product Information

Compete for the title of Accolade Heavyweight Champion with TKO boxing. The game features a unique perspective in which you have a dual, first-person perspective of the action. A split screen lets you see yourself hit as well as get hit. If you want to know your positioning in the ring, an aerial view is available. As the fight rages on and the boxers take punishment, their faces will swell, bruise, and turn black and white. TKO provides two types of fighting arrangements: One-Player Bouts and Two-Player Bouts. When playing solo, you must box your way to the title by fighting five of eight computer-controlled, unalterable fighters. Choose and create one of four unranked, alterable boxers and go up against four ranked contenders and one champ. To create your fighter, you must adjust incrementally the following settings: stance (left or right), power hand (left or right), best punch (head or body), strength (speed or power) and weakness (fatigue or cuts). When in the ring, you can throw three types of punches (jabs, hooks and uppercuts) at nine different target areas: nose, left eye, right eye, mouth, left jaw, right jaw, left side of body, right side of body and solar plexus. You don't control your boxer's footwork, but the fighters do move around the ring in response to punches received. In terms of defense, you can set your guard (where you hold your hands when not punching) at five different positions: head, chin, throat, chest and stomach. Each boxer has an energy bar that depletes itself as you throw punches and take hits. When you are on the defensive, you can regain energy. If your fighter falls, you may be able to coax him back up by pressing the joystick button furiously. Three knockdowns in the same round constitute a TKO (technical knockout). A face with excessive damage can also end a fight in a TKO. The computer keeps track of statistics such as punches thrown, hits taken, blocked punches, points scored, wins, losses, KOs and more. Each round lasts a simulated three minutes. You can choose to fight 3, 5 or 10 rounds.
