I’m a big fan of the sweet science so you can imagine my excitement when I first learned of 2K developing “Don King Presents: Prize Fighter”. My excitement grew when I learned that it would be Venom, creators of the ‘Rocky’ games who were behind the making of this new title. After getting some considerable time into the game, I’m happy to say that if you’re a fan of boxing, you’ll be a fan of 2K’s Prize Fighter. The game revolves around a documentary type storyline. Actors, portraying people of significance in your life as ‘The Kid’, are interviewed regarding various aspects of your career. Even former boxing greats are featured speaking in regards to the legend you’re about to build. What separates Prize Fighter from previous boxing titles is how decisions not only made in the ring, but outside of it, affect how the story ends. I’ll touch on those aspects of the game later.

  This afternoon, I got to represent Consolesports.net on the 2K conference call regarding Don King Presents Prizefighter for the XBOX 360. This has got to be the most lively conference call we've ever been on. The legendary boxing promoter Don King and former Heavyweight Champion Larry Holmes are on the call too.
Don King is absolutely halarious! And when Larry Holmes called out George Foreman in the conference call, it was absolutely classic.
Also- there's tons of stuff about the upcoming game too. I also get a question in towards the end of the conference call. It sounds like the title is going to have tons of depth, and should make a lot of boxing fans happy. Producer Matthew Seymour handles the more detailed questions on the call.
Be sure to check it out HERE.
We will have more info on Prizefighter, as well as a detailed review, in the coming weeks.

June 3, 2008 – 2K Sports announced today that Don King Presents: Prizefighter, the first documentary-style boxing extravaganza, has officially gone gold and is now ready for production for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Developed by Venom Games, a 2K studio, Don King Presents: Prizefighter is equal parts sports simulation and true boxing drama that takes place both inside and outside the ring.
Don King Presents: Prizefighter casts players in the role of a talented, unknown boxer fighting his way out of obscurity and into the international spotlight while attempting to claim the world championship title. The immersive storyline challenges players to balance their rigorous training regimen with the temptations of wealth and stardom and unfolds in a unique, live-action sports documentary style that features real-life legends and current stars from the world of boxing including Ken Norton, Larry Holmes, Andrew Golota, Joe Calzaghe and many others. Heather Vandeven, the reigning 2007 Penthouse Pet of the Year, and popular video vixen Bria Myles also star in the documentary and act as temptations for boxers throughout their careers.
