Item Description

George Foreman had just pulled off a stunning comeback when this game landed, regaining the heavyweight championship at 45 in November 1994, and Acclaim built a boxing game to match. Foreman For Real, the follow-up to George Foreman's KO Boxing, uses Acclaim's digitized graphics technology to give its fighters a photorealistic look, viewed from behind your boxer in the style of Punch-Out.

The career mode is the real hook. You start at the bottom of the world rankings and fight your way up through a field of fictional heavyweights, each with distinct strengths and weaknesses, until the only man standing between you and the title is Big George himself. Your coach offers advice before each fight on the weaknesses in your game, and passwords let you pick a career back up later. Exhibition and tournament modes cover quicker bouts, fights can run anywhere from 3 to 12 rounds with judges scoring every round, and there are two camera views plus an automatic switching option.

Reviewers at the time weren't kind; GamePro and Next Generation found the Genesis version stiff and its audio rough. That's part of its appeal now. It's a slice of mid-'90s celebrity licensing from the brief window when Foreman was the oldest heavyweight champion in history, before he became better known for selling grills, and climbing the rankings for a shot at the champ has a goofy, good-natured charm all its own.

About the game

Before marketing fat-reducing grills, boxing legend George Foreman endorsed this boxing game with a 3rd-person view similar to Punch Out. A full range of punches and jabs are available, with full round-by-round scoring from the judges. You can choose from 3-12 rounds, and there are 2 camera views as well as an automatic switch option. You can play simple exhibition matches or tournaments, or launch into a career mode. In this you start at the bottom of the world rankings, and must reach the top by beating the game's players, who other than George are all fictitious boxers with varying strengths and weaknesses. The coach gives advice before each fight to help highlight weaknesses in your play. There are passwords for each round.
