With the recent release of Rocky Balboa in theaters, Ubisoft thought it was a good idea to release a videogame based on this movie. Strangely the PSP is the only platform it’s being released on, licensing the rights to create this game must’ve been cheap to pull a move like that.

In this game you obviously take the role of Rocky Balboa, a former heavy weight champion who’s stepping out of retirement. The reason for this is that the result of a ‘computer fight’ against the current champion showed that he might still make a chance if he were to fight him today. The game has a story mode where you’ll be able to fight against all of Rocky’s previous opponents from the 5 movies to finally meet up with Mason “The line” Dixon in the finale. If you just want a quick fight that’s also possible, and if you’re bored with playing versus cpu, play against a friend via Wifi.

Key Features:

• Take on Mason “The Line” Dixon in Story Mode:
  In order to defeat the champ you will have to recall your past glory. Fight fights within the fight by flashing back to iconic Rocky fights. As you relive those moment your skills will gradually return.
• “Historic” Fights:
  All the fights from all the Rocky movies are available for play. Fight Drago in Moscow or Apollo in Philadelphia.
• Match Any Two Rocky Boxers in any Rocky arena:
  Exhibition mode allows you to play our fun “what-if” scenarios. Match Mason Dixon against Apollo in Moscow or Cluber Lang vs. Drago in Vegas.
• True to Rocky’s Fighting Style:
  Slug it out in true Rocky style with dramatic movements and huge turnaround punches. Immersive camera angles make you feel the drama of a comeback, knock down or count out.
• Multiplayer:
  Challenge a friend. Match any two fighters in any arena

Rocky Balboa will only be released for the PSP and is available in stores January 25th.
