Can’t really understand why thrill of the fight (which has the best engine of the boxing games) only lets you play against realistic, male characters. It would be tons more fun if you could play against fantasy characters and even politically incorrect ones. Everyone i talked to seemed to agree. Once another studio fills this niche, and provided that their engine is just as good, i think TotF will be sidelined.
