| It's a hard-knock life on Game Boy Color |

| Buffer's intro has been moved over to the Game Boy Color -- and it doesn't sound too bad! |

For those who might be wondering how Midway's rather tongue-in-cheek boxing game Ready 2 Rumble fares with its comedic elements removed: not altogether well. Crawfish Interactive manages to fit a lot of boxing, some wicked super-combinations and 10 fighters on one Game Boy Color cartridge but fails to capture the game's essential charm. With no voice samples (save for those of famed ring announcer Mike Buffer), there's no back and forth trash talking between the fighters, and the fighter introductions are graphically wonderful but so generic as to impart none of the gleeful joy seen in the Nintendo64, Dreamcast and PlayStation versions of the game. What's left for Rumble here is rather solitary and straightforward punch-and-block boxing that loses what little flavor it has by the time the bell sounds for round two.

| The gameplay isn't much -- move, hit the keys, move some more. |
| Ahhh... Two women boxing. 'Nuff said. |
| Although the characters come over from the other platforms, they just don't look too good. |
