Wii Warm Up: Ready 2 Rumble with Hasselhoff?
Ready 2 Rumble is making a Balboa-esque comeback on Wii, but here's the catch: Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution will follow an example set by Celebrity Sports Showdown, by having only caricatured celebrities as fighters. That means no Afro Thunder, Boris "The Bear" Knokimov, or any of the other original cast.While fighting as a moobed Simon Cowell wouldn't be our first choice, if the game is as fun as the Dreamcast titles were, we'll suck it up and get throwing haymakers. What do you personally make of AKI wheeling in the slebs? Would the fact the original line-up is totally missing color your decision to buy Ready 2 Rumble? And who did you use back then? We were Angel Rivera experts.

in a game that's as wild and off the wall as Ready 2 Rumble boxing, I think that having celebrities duking it out could actually be pretty funny, I mean we can all agree that there are certain celebrities who's egos could most certainly be large enough to warrant a boxing counterpart!

I'm gonna miss Big Jimmy... or was it Jimmy T.? Whatever the Italian dude's name from Round 2 was.

Hopefully they'll allow for the wiimote to be turned sideways and used as a traditional control, instead of forcing us to throw punches with the wiimote and nunchuck. That can get tiring after a couple of rounds.

Celebrities are a terrible idea. I think its just a gimmick to reel in the casuals. Maybe they thought R2R wouldnt have legs in todays market (Perhaps after Facebreakers terrible showing). Disappointing really, Afro Thunder ruled.

No "Big" Willy Johnson = no dice.
