Comments: A great, original boxing game, that actually has voice command recognition technology!  I've heard rumors that this was THE first voice command game in the history of gaming, but I have no proof to back that up :)


So you can be lame and play using just the buttons, or you can bark commands into the microphone like "uppercut", "jab", "defense", "sway".  A friend of mine came over, and he said all the commands in japanese, and I swear this thing understood perfectly!


the game body was designed to nicely hold the mic/earphone device around it
