Boxer's Road[lower-alpha 1] is a 1995 video game developed and published by New Corp for the PlayStation. It is a boxing simulation sports game. It was followed up by the sequel Boxer's Road 2: The Real.

Gameplay

Boxer's Road is a game which simulates an entire boxing career.[2] It is a fully 3D polygonal game.[3]

Release

It was released in Japan on September 8, 1995.[4] The game sold 400,000 copies.[3] On August 9, 1996, it was re-released under the "Playstation the Best" line.[4] It was released on the PlayStation Network in Japan on July 26, 2007.[5] It was re-released again for mobile phones in 2007 under the title "Boxer's Road the MOBILE" for 315 yen.[6]

It was followed up by Boxer's Road 2, released for the PSP in 2005.[7]

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the PlayStation version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "The matches are something of a letdown, being realistic to a fault, slow, and with sluggish control. The title shows an interesting effort, and with some tweaking it would make a fine US import. Until then, unless you can read a good deal of Japanese, you're out of luck."[2]

Famitsu gave it a score of 35 out of 40.[4] Ultima Generacion gave the game a score of 60 out of 100.[8] German magazine Mega Fun gave it a score of 86%.[9]
