A great workout

I love this game. Make sure your boundaries are set correctly. Nobody wants you breaking anything besides your opponents ego. I bought some one pound wrist weights and they make a difference when I do the training on the heavy bag, the dummy, the focus ball, and the speed bag. Fighting an opponent with them on is such a great workout. The cardio is insane. I love this game for it's workout purposes and its overall game play. You definitely have to fight for your life.

Horrible game

This game is horrible. You can’t even move in the game. You have to move in real life and you have a boundary that’s super small so you’re gonna have to keep getting a boundary and if you’re a kid you’re not gonna be able to play and the game is a scam it cost a bunch of money for a piece of junk scam. Scam scam scam scam scam scam scam

GREAT FOR MOVING AND WORK OUTS!

This Game is phenomenal, love almost everything about it, you just need to have enough space to be comfortable swinging and stuff, I did break my skin on my hand when I accidentally punched my book dresser, but just remember to set up your BOUNDARY CORRECTLY, please do not be stupid like me…

The best VR boxing game, avoid the 2nd

I am in no way an experienced boxer but I love to play fighting VR games and none of them have brought be back like this one, people complain about not being able to move but I don’t feel it’d be as good if you could, I play with pass through and a boxing ring sized play area and it genuinely feels like im boxing someone in my living room. The connections in this game feel clean and it helps with coordination, I know it doesn’t give actual boxing experience but it’s the closest thing you’ll get if you enjoy shadow boxing and want to have a fun intense workout. Avoid the 2nd one like the plague though, I played it and refunded it after 10 minutes, dont know how they destroyed such a good engine but the damage and connections in that game didn’t feel half as strong or good, I had it on hard difficulty and you can be put down in 2 punches but you have to hit 20 haymakers in a row perfect for them to even stagger, plus the models looked lifeless and were unresponsive to clean hits so you cant tell if you’re hitting them correctly, and the blocking and dodging was horrible, I would be punched through my blocks constantly and be hit by things I dodged. Dont even wanna mention the multiplayer, it’s horrible. On top of all of that charging 20-30 dollars on top of the base price for cosmetics is ridiculously scummy when your community has complained since release about the horrible damage and dodge system.
