I was seriously surprised when I played this game. I'm not a fan of sports games at all. Though from all the great comments I've heard about Punch Out, I decided to try it. I'm very glad I finally took the chance to play this game. Super Punch Out proved to take far more strategy and quick thinking than I expected, being very much a game of anticipation and reaction to the opponent's moves.

Graphics: There's not much to complain about with the graphics here. Which isn't surprising, seeing the lack of actual areas that needed to be made. All that needed to be modeled was the ring, crowd, and competitors. But it still looks like a great game. Each fighter is well made, having enough detail to enjoy fighting them. The colors are also vibrant and nice to look at. So you won't be bored by the look of the game during a match. It helps that so many of your opponents are such strange looking characters. Even a clown shows up to battle you at one point, giving many distinct visuals for you to look at while you pound your opponents face in. The graphics can get kind of silly at points, especially when you stun an opponent. The only problem I have is that most of the fighters in the game are palette swaps of other fighters. But this doesn't even matter much, as the palette swaps look different enough to be identifiable. 

Sound: The sound of Super Punch Out is another place where it rates high. The music that plays during matches is good for getting you into the spirit for the fight that's happening. Each punch also sounds like it has impact, giving you audio confirmation that hitting your opponent in the face is actually doing something to them. The voice for the announcer during the battle is also pretty decent for an SNES game. While it's not exactly amazing voice acting, it's nice to be able to understand what he's saying. Seeing how many old games with voice acting proved to be hard to understand. The sound is an overall plus, and really got me in the mood for every fight with the game's music.

Addictiveness: I found myself very addicted to this game. Each time you beat a circuit, it keeps track of your scores on how quickly you beat each fighter and your score for doing it. Obviously you'll want to keep going back to beat your old scores. This proves especially true once you've gotten used to the game and improved a lot. Fighters who once gave you trouble will be easily taken care of, giving you more points and a shorter time for winning the match. This gives reason for coming back and fighting again. Though, the largest reason for playing fights again is to unlock a special reward for doing good enough in every match. If you manage to get through every circuit without losing a fight, you unlock the real final circuit. This will really test your skills, and most likely take a while for you to beat.

Story: I'm going to admit, the story in this game is nothing to write home about. Really, there isn't much story at all. Mostly it's just your character rising through the ranks to become the boxing champion. Though you'll fight a lot of very interesting characters along the way, the story doesn't really change or become anything more. I did at least give the story a 3 though. Because, while it's not much of a real story, it does it's job to get you playing. Plus, with a simple story like this, at least you won't run into plot hole after plot hole like in some games.

Depth: Unfortunately, there's not much depth to Super Punch Out when it comes to variety and all. The game has a set of predetermined fights and you go through each of them. Sure there are a lot of different ways to fight each opponent, and you need to mix up your fighting  styles for different opponents. But when it comes to lasting a long time with a bunch of different content, Super Punch out falls a bit in the middle. It gives enough flexibility in the controls to fight in all different ways, but it also doesn't have much to do outside of the main fights beside a time attack mode.

Difficulty: The difficulty is a huge part of the experience of this game. Rest assured, you will be beat up, many, many times. But the point of the game is to overcome how difficult the opponents are. Most of the game's fighters hit much harder than you. They all seem to be able to beat you easily the moment you make a mistake. The important part is that you can do the same thing. The main draw of this game is how you have to watch your opponent. Every single move they do is telegraphed in it's own way. You need to watch how your opponent fights and learn when they'll use certain moves. Once you know how to dodge or block an opponent's attacks, it's much easier to start returning the punches and actually do some damage in return. Super Punch out will definitely be a difficult game, but not for the wrong reasons. The controls are simple and easy to learn, plus there is little to no lag. So if you do lose a match, it's not the game's fault. It's because you simply need more practice in how to dodge or block specific attacks. Or how to capitalize on the opportunities you do have.

Final Thoughts: This game was much better than I had expected it to be. I expected it to be another boxing game without much actual fun to the experience. Though I was shown wrong in the first few fights. The cartoonish art style and fun boxing kept me entertained the whole time, even when the difficulty had me wondering how I was supposed to beat the current boxer. This is a very fun game that I would highly recommend. Even if you're not a fan of sports games, you might have a great time while you play.

Excellent job on this review man, I am very impressed. Not only did you go into great detail with each part of your review, but you also broke it down and kept everything organized and easy to read and understand which is very important in making a review. You were pretty consistent throughout your review which is good, you gave each category a decent amount of information and kept it from being vague which is also good. 

Overall I think this review turned out pretty great, it was organized, detailed and lengthy at the same time, which a lot of reviews don't all have, so nice job on this one man. I think you did a great job with this. Just remember to keep writing if you want to maintain being a strong reviewer! Keep up the awesome work man!

Impressive work with this review. It's very nicely written, and offers plenty of insight into the game and it's inner-workings. I too loved this game, and I was glued to it back in the day.
