KEY POINTS:
Pros: Those cinematic interludes from the Rocky back-catalogue have nostalgia appeal, and the game is well-structured enough to keep the progression of fights interesting. Power Mood slows down the action to make it easier to get your punches in.
Cons: The controls are hit and miss at best and there are lengthy load times between cutaway scenes.
Verdict: Ill-suited to the PSP, Rocky Balboa does its best with some good material but fails to deliver anything as compelling as the Fight Night boxing series.
Censor's classification: 16+
