> Rather then take a serious approach on a boxing game, Midway has chosen to take the fun, arcade style path. As can be seen, all the contenders take on an arcade-ish look with things from large afro's to huge bodies.
     > Ready 2 Rumble for sure had one thing going since the first second it was shown -- great graphics. Very clear and crisp graphics and the all important, great frame-rates.
     > Twenty contenders will be selectable for your fighting pleasure, each with their own fighting style and definitely their own look. From Afro Thunder, to Selene Strike, there's a fighter to match your taste. Michael Buffer always lends a hand with in-game announcements to his famous saying, "Lets get ready to rumble!"
     > If this title can keep up with the hype, your in for some great fun. And don't forget about the multiplayer option where you can take your on your friends and neighbors.

     > From the maker's of NBA Jam (Genesis, Sega CD, 32X, GG, and Saturn) and NFL Blitz, the Dreamcast gets the highly anticipated Arcade/Fighter known as Ready 2 Rumble Boxing (R2RB).  With Blitz-style, over-the-top gameplay, R2RB showcases the stunning 128-bit graphics capabilities of the Dreamcast, according to Midway.  Oh... and don't forget the famous voice of boxing fame, the one and only Michael Buffer.
 
     > The game will feature the choice of 20 boxers, each with their own look, moves, and fighting style.  There will be an unlimited number of punch combinations for both realistic and over-the-top boxing styles.  The moves will be split into three categories: basic (all fighters), advanced (character specific), and rumble (most powerful and unique).  You'll be able to choose from Arcade, Championship, Versus, and Internet modes as well.  To top it off, R2RB has VMU (VMS) support which allows you to save your progress and keep track of your blow accuracy during the fight.

     > The game is said to run at the Dreamcast standard of 60 fps, which provides smooth, realistic movement.  R2RB will be loaded with cut-scenes, highly detailed textures, and special effects.  Of course, what would a fighting game be without great looking taunts?  Don't worry, they're in there...
 
     > This is shaping up to be a must-buy for launch customers as well as procrastinators.  The Dreamcast is set to break even more records around the world with the help of third party publishers and developers.  You can be a part of it or you can patiently sap xenon (PSX)...
