CODEMASTERS - E3 2002
Codemasters had a small booth that was sealed off to media only. They had a handful of marginal looking games, but I had fun with the Tyson game. I didn't really study Colin McRae Rally 3 too much, but what I saw looked typical for an X-box racing game, but the terrain actually was a little plain looking.
| Mike Tyson Boxing - Unlike the NES title over 15 years ago, this game actually features real looking boxers. Tyson is the only 'big hitter' that you've probably heard of, but the game does feature a cast of real boxers. The face and bodies show damage as the match progresses, adding some brutal realism to the game. While a little complex, the controls were surprisingly easy to pick up. I challenged the designer to a game and lost the first one, and somehow pulled off some good combos and beat him in the second game. hehe! You could see a little frustration on his face! This is the first boxing game I've seen in a long time that has a quality control system and more importantly, is fun to play. Coming really soon for both PS2 and X-box. |
