budding gaming enthusiasts was the likeable yet outlandish assortment of characters. In Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 2, the formula is repeated by adding as many as a dozen new characters, with Shaquille O'Neal, Freke Deke, Robox RE SE4, Johnny Blood, Mama Tua and even reclusive pop star Michael Jackson leading the wacky pack of fictional and semifictional boxers.A few of your favourite characters from the first game return in Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2, which features updated, customisable costumes. Each character also has his or her own special moves, including a bounce in the female boxers that mimics the real-life gravitational forces at play that are found in the female characters in Tecmo's Dead or Alive.In terms of gameplay, Sega has gone back to the gym and reworked the Championship mode. This time around, your fighting schedule is based around a calendar of matches, as opposed to being based solely on your prize winnings. As you win your way through the championship mode, new gym equipment will be available for you to use to build your skills. Some new training events have been added, including stair climbing and rope jumping.The most interesting part of the Championship mode includes the addition of a wrestling-style backstory that sees backstage shenanigans and feuds between the fighters. The new Team Battle mode lets you choose up to eight team members for an actual rumble with an opposing group of pugilists from the game. Several new camera angles have been added, which ups the total number to nine. Also, players can expect to suffer from computer-generated blurry vision after one too many blows to the head. As a result of these additions, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2 should be a knockout (pun most certainly intended of course). --Todd Mowatt

Advantages: Easy to use, fun, funny, great cast Disadvantages: Same as the original
Ready 2 Rumble: Round 2 is a boxing agme taht takes away the serious edge from it. You're not meant to take it seriously. When I got this game last year, I knew that. I already had the original and I'd been wanting the sequel for some time. When I finally found it I quickly got the disk in my Dreamcast and started playing.
The first thing I realized was that it looked almost exactly the same as the original. Now that sounds like a bad thing and ... ...'You don't fix something that isn't broken' or it's something like that. The graphics I'm glad to say don't look like they came from a Playstation game like some of the Dreamcast games look like. The characters are in 128-bit graphics and not in 32-bit. The envoronments and menus are great to look at and have an unique look. It's actually quite interesting to surf through the menus, if only to enjoy the effects and music. The theme song or theme ...

...action they wanted out of Ready 2 Rumble might want to think twice about purchasing the sequel.There are improvements and additions all over the shop, but this essentially a very similar experience.Those who never sampled the crazy world of Afro Thunder the first time roundthough , will get tons of fun out of this wild, tough,silly gam,e.While not quite a knockout, Ready 2 Rumble stil packs a decent punch.And you do get to smack Michael Jackson back, ...
