Ready 2 Rumble boxart, videos enter the ring

First of all, it would appear that the boxart for Ready 2 Rumble Revolution has leaked onto the net courtesy of GameStop's site (image has been pulled from their site, but peep it on the right). Love it? Hate it? Indifferent?

Second on the agenda, IGN has uploaded four new trailers of boxing action and they feature a variety of different aspects of the title. We've got character intros, as well as individual looks at some of the combatants included in the game. We're not sure how to feel about R2R Revolution yet, to tell the truth. For one, if looks like the gameplay is spot-on with the original games, but on the other hand, it looks a little too slow to us. That is, in these new trailers. But, hey, at least we aren't stuck having to play as ~~David Hasselhoff~~ Dewie Streudel or anything. There's other boxers to choose from, aside from the celeb knockoffs we've already seen. Check out the trailers past the break.

I know, right? Too bad we don't live in a world where both games can co-exist.

Ready 2 Rumble was awesome on the Dreamcast. However I'm not looking forward to playing a full boxing game by punching the air with the wii-mote. I hope the game allows for regular control.

Damn, where are all of the insanely long and crazy fast RUMBLE combos at, this sucks, it seems like it's a Facebreaker game disguised in a ready2rumble-like drawing style that went overboard and stopped being funny. Also the speed of the fights in the videos remind me of nothing insane button mashing gaming play of ready2rumble, and more of the likes of "simulation" boxing games like fight night, which take a much slower paced route to fights.
