Animal Boxing is more of a novelty than a compelling game. It's got gimmicky controls and a genuinely good-looking art style, but there's not much in the way of gameplay here. I would like to have seen a greater variety of boxing techniques in the animals -- you know, what Punch-Out! did way back in 1987. The fact that Animal Boxing is shallower than an NES game is a problem. Slick visuals and, like I said, novelty gameplay will draw you in initially, but play one round and you've basically seen all the game has to offer.
