found it incredibly hilarious and somewhat charming that developer Survios chose to include some of Rocky’s run-ins as a loan shark, as he dishes out punishment in some back alleyway, still dressed in his red and white boxing shorts and gloves. However, the story takes you to some strange places. There is a certain level of charm to these fights, as caricatures of each opponent recreate some defining features with their own animated twist. As we flash back to each fight, the context is clear enough, even if the narrative in between these fights is relatively absent, lacking context for those who may have never seen the films. The Rocky storyline plays out as you would expect, as Rocky ponders his glory days in a conversation with Adonis Creed during a training session.
While the Creed and Rocky storylines serve as the highlight for this mode, you will get the chance to choose from 10 initial fighters, ranging from featuring Rocky and Creed characters, to some newer faces featured in Survios’ previous VR boxing project, Creed: Rise to Glory. Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions packs in the fun visuals and fast-paced arcade gameplay that manages to amuse for a few hours, even if it lacks the depth that brings fans back time and time again.īig Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions follows the stories of both Rocky Balboa and Adonis Creed, thanks to a main Arcade mode, which sees players slogging through some iconic fights that play out in hilarious clip-art fashion.
A new boxing game based on one of my favourite film series? Sign me up! After a few rounds with this arcade romp, I’m still left reeling for a new boxing saviour, even if I’ve played much, much worse. And then I saw it the announcement of Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions. Believe it or not, it’s been a decade since EA Sport’s Fight Night Champion, which I still dip back into until this very day.

As a fan of both the Rocky film series and the sport of boxing in general, I often wonder about the next definitive boxing game.
