Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! could be considered the fighting game that started them all. For a game made so long ago and so basic its almost kind of surprising how fun it is to play. The game was a huge hit when it was released back in 1987 during the time Mike Tyson was striking fear into the Heavyweight division of boxing. I don't think it is any surprise that this game was one of the best selling games on the NES because Mike Tyson was a household name back in 1987, and even to this day , everyone knows who Mike Tyson is.

You are Little Mac and you are ranked #3 in the minor's circuit as you begin your climb to the top of the world of boxing. Your road to fight the Champion himself Iron Mike Tyson will not be easy. You only have your Left and Right hands as your weapons (A and B buttons correspondingly). Just pushing A or B will throw a body shot with the left or right hand, while holding up then  A or B will throw punches to the face. You can also hold down your punches instead of tapping them to throw a power shot and also tap your punch buttons quickly to throw a flurry. The only other move at your disposal is dodging with the left right and down directional buttons.

GRAPHICS: 9
The graphics are clear and colorful and look good. Each of your opponents has his own style and are animated uniquely and also pretty funny. You might even recognize a guest appearance as the referee of your fights!

SOUND: 8
The music of the game doesn't do anything for me to really stand out especially. But some of the sound effects can be funny such as when you score a knockdown or knockout. Since NES games did not have the ability to have actual voice acting the sound of some of the games characters talking is an iconic part of the game.

ADDICTIVENESS: 8
If you are a fan of fighting games this game is highly addicting. The game takes a little while to understand the styles and weaknesses of each of your opponents but you will find yourself replaying this game until you can finally beat it. Once you beat the game you will still come back for more because you just can't get enough of knocking the snot out of your opponents. The game also gives Vizzed users the opportunity to compete for high score in the RGR.

STORY: 7
Well the story is fairly simple, you want to become the World Champion Boxer! This is not a game that is played for it's story so if that is what you are looking for you might want to check out some RPG's on the NES.

DEPTH: 8
The game contains 14 opponents in total for you to fight, which may not seem like that many, but once you start getting into the Major's Circuit you will quickly realize even reaching Mike Tyson is quite a challenge. For new players it will take quite a few trys before you would ever get close to Mike Tyson and that is if you are good. The ability to compete for highscore always raises the depth score for me because it just adds that competitive fun to the game.

DIFFICULTY: 9
Like most games on the NES, this is a tough one. I'm the type of person who just wants to get as far as I can in a game the very first time I play it. Well lets just say, on my very first time I never reached Mike Tyson and I did get somewhat frustrated and quit. It's probably not a game you will beat without practicing at it for a little while which is why I recommend playing this game in small sessions so it doesn't become frustrating constantly getting TKOed!

OVERALL: 9
Overall this game is a must play to any hardcore gamer. Anyone that considers themselves a fan of retro games or the NES must play this game! It is a game that played a role in the history of video games and shaped how fighting games would be played for generations to come.

Mike Tyson's Punchout is way better than the later released version including "Mr. Dream" instead of Tyson. I love this game, I actually own this version of Punch-out. Including the Wii version as well. No Super Punchout, though.

Great review, man. Hope you keep making them, you could be a real Reviewer for the site if you apply.

Woah, never thought I would see this reviewing on this site. I remember how frustrationing the Dream Curcuit is just by looking at videos on YouTube.

pacman1755 : The amount of time between the release of Super Punch Out and Wii Punch Out was around 15 years. :O

Nice review, LegolasJJH, I will find your reviews pretty much as good as my reviews. I am not complaining or making fun, but I say that the amazingness in your reviews is high, to my standards too.

My friend that this game is fun to play, but really difficult too. From seeing the post I could tell it going to be hard to beat. I might give a try to, and excellent review too.

pacman1755 : I did apply!! More than a few days ago now and I have yet to receive a response. I know the mods are busy so I haven't really checked in about it because I don't want to be a nuisance.

Coming from you though that is a huge compliment.

Stevie 764 : Hey thanks for the kind words, We are also on the same Tour De Vizzed team so lets make a killing of it!

harshdark : lol hi harshdark you may consider having a little more to your posts than just whats up, but Hello, none the less .

mr.keys : Yes its a hard game, It took me a lot of practice to even get to Iron Mike and it still takes me quite a few trys before I can ever beat him (and a little luck)
