OMGP: Rocky
Manage episode 375065476 series 2907108
In this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Devon sits down with Judd to discuss the first of two Rocky video games for the Playstation 2 (it also released for Xbox and Gamecube). The movie mode covers the first five Rocky films, putting the Italian Stallion up against famous opponents like Apollo Creed and Clubber Lang, as well as lesser known fighters that are merely mentioned in the films. Oddly enough, important characters like Adrian and Paulie are dismissed, but Scandinavian boxing sensation Billy Snow, and Big Yank Ball get their time in the spotlight. Like any movie game from the early aughts, Rocky has its fair share of goofy elements, from an “Eye of the Tiger” rip-off track, to projectile beer bottles that explode in the ring mid-fight in the seedier venues, but it’s very clear that the developers loved the Rocky movies
