Contender (PSX) Preview

Publisher: Sony

Background Info

Bringing pure fighting enjoyment to the videogame ring in January is Sony Computer Entertainment America's premiere boxing title, Contender, available only for the PlayStation game console. Contender offers head-to-head boxing action with arcade-style gameplay and control, and is compatible with the new Dual Shock Analog Controller.

"Combining crisp 3D polygonal graphics with fast and furious arcade boxing action, Contender is sure to appeal to a very broad range of gamers," said Peter Dille, senior director, product marketing, Sony Computer Entertainment America. "This is one of those games that you can just pick-up and have a blast with. You don't need to know a ton about boxing appreciate the game. It's amazing how quickly the competitive juices get flowing when your are trying to knock your friend out." Contender features 40 different boxers, 20 playable characters, each with their own unique look, fighting style, strengths and weaknesses. When playing in the Single Player Main Event Mode the ultimate goal is to jab, punch and knock out competitors till you rank as World Champion of the boxing ring. With every fight, you can build your fighter's speed, strength and stamina. These fighters can be saved on to memory cards to fight against friends. Contender includes ringside cheers from the crowd that grow louder with each progressing game, as well as realistic character reactions like twitching on the mat when lying unconscious, faces grimacing and eyes blinking when hit, and even facial bruises and black eyes after a brutal fighting match.

Utilizing a true boxing scoring system, it'll take proven boxing skills and mastery of the three different fight styles, including Detroit, Open and Peek-a-boo to outmaneuver each competitor and earn the ultimate title as boxing Champion of the World. A Super Punch can also be used, which has three times the power of a regular punch.
