Teleroboxer:

In the future, the 22nd century to be more exact, technology has advanced that much Telerobotics technology was used to perform work under conditions unbearable to humans by mirroring their human controllers movements and with the specialization of this technology came the interest in sport, and you guessed it, human players began matching their robots out in boxingmatches and called themselves Teleroboxers. Now a world tournament was started to determine the world champion.

With Harry (your spike haired Teleroboxing Robot) you must battle 9 opponents to win or become scrap metal. To accomplish fighting your way up to the top to face the endboss, you must learn to control many different blocks, punches & special boxing attacks, some are hard to get a grasp on and often take too long for you to attack quick enough only to be forced back into defense, but others easy and effective for lightning quick attacks, which is exactly what you'll need when facing off with all these monster robots.

In up to five rounds a winner must be determined to pass on to the next round, just be careful not to be knocked out or you'll screen go blank with 'the static of destruction'. Your opponents are not to be taken lightly with their 3,000 to 6,000 kg backed up punches, but lucky for you the game gets saved each match you progress, so you can take in a little bit of fresh air away from your VB if you want to.

The ingame music isn't anything special to listen to, very basic, some nice effects though, the only music I really liked was that of the short intro movie which I thought was very cool with nice different effects! As for visuals, well the boxing moves are executed in depth perspective, but that's about it, you'd think you were playing a 16-bit boxing game there's that many cardboard cutout layers. Once you master some of the special moves (check the manual) you can really get it on with the harder enemies and after a "long" match (1 round = 1 minute) you will really enjoy seeing your opponent explode into a thousand pieces and having their human (CPU) controllers fall into awe. The game's very challenging at the least.

In short: An ok game, severely missing the Nintendo magic (what were they thinking?). There's just no atmosphere that has you wanting to go on to the end. A basic game, only advised to be bought by boxing fans who are looking for something different on their VB.

My opinion: I can't seem to play this game for more than 10 minutes, I just don't have the skills or patients to execute the Robot's moves that take the most out of each enemy's powerbar, so I'm probably not enjoying the game to it's fullest extent, then again, I don't really want to either. This game could have been so much better.
