Overview
Description

Black & Bruised delivers a light‑hearted, cartoonish take on boxing, featuring 18 distinct boxers each with unique personalities, special attacks, and 30 facial expressions that react to every punch and miss. The game offers five modes—including multiplayer split‑screen, exhibition, and a story mode that uses CG cutscenes to explore each fighter’s background—providing both casual fun and deeper narrative content. Developed by Digital Fiction and published by Majesco Entertainment, the title launched on PlayStation 2 in early 2003 and carries an ESRB T rating. Players can pick up power‑ups during matches, customize strategies per boxer, and enjoy a blend of fighting, sport, and action gameplay that’s easy to pick up yet offers enough depth for competitive play.

WWF Attitude brings the excitement of 1990s professional wrestling to your screen, featuring a roster of more than 40 iconic superstars like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and The Undertaker. Customize move sets and costumes to craft a unique competitor and dominate the squared circle. The game supports both single‑player and split‑screen multiplayer, with two‑man commentary from Shane McMahon and Jerry "The King" Lawler adding authentic broadcast flavor. Perfect for fans of classic wrestling action and competitive couch co‑op.
