Knockout Kings 2002 - PS2 (RESTART)

Knockout Kings 2002 features a completely new game engine to recreate the fastest and most intense boxing in the series. Strap on your gloves and experience first-hand the thrill of boxing's greatest moments, the most devastating combinations, the incredible mobility, the astonishing footwork, the shattering strikes.

A long list of the greatest boxers of all time allows fans to play out endless dream matches with fighters such as Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard.

Additionally, the game features current lions of the sport including Felix Trinidad, Lennox Lewis, Oscar De La Hoya, Bernard Hopkins, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Fernando Vargas and many more.

Career mode allows the user to build a boxer from scratch thanks to the create-a-player function. Develop and manage the career of your athlete by improving his characteristics with the points earned in the ring, training a new one while the opponents will adopt increasingly complex and innovative strategies, during the climb to the top of your champion.

Characteristics:

• Motion capture technology - Motion capture gives a realistic look to the movements of boxers. With the help of hand-held animation and motion blending, fighters move extremely fluidly, generating a completely new level of interaction and verisimilitude in the ring.
• Superb graphics - The vastly increased polygon count of the models allows for the most detailed fighters in history ever seen. 3D facial mapping technology allows EA to analyze every detail of an athlete's face and recreate it in-game.

• Fist Control - Improved punch control allows players to unleash lightning-fast strikes on their opponents.
• Soundtrack - Hip-hop soundtrack that sets the beat as the fighters enter the ring, and new sound effects that take the player from the stands into the ring. You can hear not only the sound of the punches landing, but also the cheers and insults of the crowd.
