Boxing has so many wonderful terms that hacky writers can employ when something is good. Knock out, 1-2 punch, we could go on. But there is a severe deficiency of boxing terms that just mean "OK" or "Kind of decent." It's a shame, because a few would have come in really handy when writing an intro to the reviews of Don King Presents Prizefighter.
Gamervision(60/100): "Don King Presents Prizefighter is a flawed boxing game with excellent presentation and some features that should make the next Fight Night team stand up and take notice. I stop short of calling it a solid effort because of the actual boxing gameplay, but 2K definitely has something to build on in the future."
IGN(50/100): "The poorly constructed gameplay handcuffs the game from the word 'go' and it never recovers. It's neither strategic or arcadey in nature and the animations are just plain ugly to watch. Boxing fans will just have to wait for the fourth addition to the Fight Night series in 2009 for another worthy addition to their boxing library."
1UP(33/100): "When a boxing game gets announced with (in)famous boxing promoter Don King as the pitchman, it's hard not to take notice. But if you're looking for the second coming of Fight Night here -- or even a viable alternative -- you've gotta continue the search elsewhere."
