Knockout Kings 2002 XBOX, PS2 game

Knockout Kings 2002 is a boxing video game released in March 2002 for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. It features Muhammad Ali on the front cover. It also features many well-known boxers like Lennox Lewis, Félix Trinidad, Oscar De La Hoya, Evander Holyfield, Butterbean, Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko, and Bernard Hopkins. It is the fourth installment in the Knockout Kings series, and was succeeded by Knockout Kings 2003 later that same year, for the GameCube.

Knockout Kings 2002 features a different engine than its predecessors, as it now features smoother graphics and a new control scheme, which allows boxers to move around the ring more fluidly, as well as a new analog evasion system, where tilting the left analog stick slightly allows a boxer to bob and weave in the direction of the stick's movement.

Like its predecessors, Knockout Kings 2002 features a career mode, where a player can create a boxer and partake in a series of fights to become champion. For the first time, players can use a real boxer in the mode. The game also features a tournament mode.

Recently, the game has been added to the Speedrun.com Leaderboards so you can compete, in the following categories:

• Knockout Any%
• Career Mode Any%

You can submit your runs from either XBOX or PS2, or from the emulators.
