Item Description
"Let's get ready to rumble!" Michael Buffer's famous ring call opens every bout of Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, and few Dreamcast launch titles made a better first impression on September 9, 1999. Midway's cartoon boxer was the game people put on to show off their new console, with smooth, bouncy character models and digitized crowds that looked astonishing next to anything on the previous generation.
The roster is pure personality: Afro Thunder, Boris "The Bear" Knokimov, Big Willy Johnson and a lineup of other caricatures who trash-talk, taunt and swell up with bruises as the rounds wear on. The fighting is instantly readable but has real timing to it. Landing hard blows or taunting your opponent fills the RUMBLE meter one letter at a time, and once the word is spelled out you can power up for a Rumble Flurry, a devastating barrage that can end a fight on the spot. The smaller, quicker fighters reward patient cat-and-mouse play, while the heavyweights hit like trucks.
It is a terrific party game, the kind that has two players laughing out loud as they pummel each other, but the one-player Championship mode is worth your time too. You work a boxer up the rankings and sharpen him between fights with short, punchy training mini-games, which gives the game a sense of progress beyond quick matches.
The Dreamcast version was a big enough hit to join the Sega All Stars line, and a sequel, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2, followed in 2000. If your memories of 9/9/99 include Afro Thunder, this is that moment on a disc.

About the game
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing is a boxing game for the Dreamcast, PlayStation, and Nintendo 64 and it was released in 1999 by Midway. The success of the Dreamcast version led to it becoming one of the few Sega All Stars titles. Like Nintendo's Punch-Out!! series it features many characters with colorful personalities (i.e. Afro Thunder, Boris "The Bear" Knokimov, etc.); however, unlike the Punch-Out!! series, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing is in 3D, thus allowing for more control over your character in the ring, and also enables the players to choose whichever fighters they want. Throughout the fights in the game, there is a special RUMBLE meter which fills up, one letter at a time, until the word "RUMBLE" is spelled at the bottom of the screen. Letters can be obtained by successfully landing hard blows or taunting the opponent. Once the meter is full, the player can power himself up, enabling access to a special move called "Rumble Flurry", which might as well instantly knock the opposite player out cold. One unique graphic feature of the game is the gradual bruises gained by players as the fight progresses (like hematomas and swellings), present in all fifth-generation versions.
