Not Just for Kicks

Andre Panza is the reigning world champion of kick boxing. You don't mess with him in real life, but even his hot new cart might make you sweat as you turn on the power! In order to be the next kick-boxing champion, you'll have to bust up seven of the toughest boxers ever seen on a video game screen. This is some of roughest legal fighting you're likely to encounter.

Your boxer can fight using any one of eight styles. Each boxer is rated in several categories, which range from strength to reflexes. To make it to the top, your boxer is going to need some serious practice. Luckily, you don't have to take your lumps against the pros; a training room is available. Sharpen your skills there, or you can just take out your frustrations on the meanest punching bag your trainer can find.

The animation in Andre Panza's Kick Boxing is silky smooth, although the characters are a bit small. And the sound-well, let's just say your neighbors might call the police when they hear some of the effects this cart puts out.

The two player combat mode is nice, if you want to beat up a friend, but the real action happens when you take on the tournament mode. There's a password feature, so you won't have to spend eight straight hours just so Panza can turn you into pizza.

Referee's Call
