Rawness of the sport

What’s the story behind this game, how have you captured the rawness of the sport?
We’ve really tried to capture the spirit of the story behind so many boxing professionals. A lot of these athletes started from humble beginnings and went on to accomplish great things with a combination of raw talent and hard work
iPhone action

How have you managed to capture all the action of the sport on such a small device as the iPhone?
We’ve adapted a lot of elements of the sport onto the device in ways that take advantage of its unique features without being gimmicky or awkward to control.
Designing this for the iPhone and iPod touch from the ground up has kept us from getting mired down in technical or control issues the way that a lot of ported products can be. We’ve really put a lot of thought into how people use their devices and what they like and dislike about the platform to make it a fun experience.
If looks could kill

It looks fantastic, are you proud of it?
We’re really proud of the visual presentation of the game and feel like it can stand toe-to-toe with PSP or PS2 titles.
Awesome graphics

How did you manage to create such stunning graphics?
We’ve pushed the limits of the platform to get graphics people probably didn’t think were possible before the 3GS
Marketplace

Who do you see for the market for this game?
We’ve really striven to make a title that casual players can pick up and play anywhere, but also offers some long-term depth and competition for hardcore players. Our road map for the game will add even more stuff to keep the product fresh after its release
Technological advances

Can you tell us more about the technology involved in this game?
We have some really advanced engine technology powering this game that doesn’t exist in even a lot of console or PC titles. Thanks to the team at Unity Technologies, we can really push this platform to places it hasn’t been before
How good is good?

Can this game REALLY deliver, gamers are pretty experienced these days?
We’re really committed to delivering on players’ expectations. We’ve integrated a lot of suggestions from beta testers with different backgrounds and will be paying close attention to what our players want from the game in the future
