Background:
Have you got the Eye of the Tiger? Based on the officially licensed Rocky movie anthology, you must take to the ring as the Italian Stallion or one of several other fighters including Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang, Ivan Drago or Tommy Gunn and fight your way through a variety of single and multi-player game modes.

Gameplay:
Fight your way through a variety of single and multi-player game modes using a huge range of punches from attacking hooks, jabs and uppercuts to defensive blocks, ducks and weaves. Rocky features a wide variety of fight and training locations painstakingly recreated from the movie anthology, from the early rundown gyms to the world’s best-known arenas, and is the ultimate boxing game franchise.
