Editorial Review
Ready to go the distance? Then get your gloves on, since this knockout fighting game boasts a variety of bouts and boxers, and offers four modes of play: versus, exhibition, career, and tournament. Whether you just want to go mano a mano with a buddy, or for the championship, you will need to do more than just randomly punch a few buttons to progress to the higher levels. We found the controls for each hook, punch, or block to be fairly easy to learn. However, to really land some punches, you'll need to master an assortment of advanced combo moves. In the career mode, you must conquer each of 40 challengers to become the world boxing champion. With each progressive fight, you will build up your strength, speed, and endurance. However, even the best boxers will invariably suffer from a few bangs and bruises. As you slug your way to the top of the career mode, you will unlock several secret challengers for the exhibition mode. Gameplay in Contender can be experienced through numerous camera angles, including a dizzying first-person mode. Be sure to turn up the volume, since you will receive assistance from your trainer, who screams out helpful tips in the background during your bout. Further help is given through informative statistics that are spewed out at the end of each round. There are also cool replay options, so you can review each punch. --Michael Byer Pros: - Easy-to-learn gameplay
- Secret characters
Cons: - Graphics are not as advanced as some other boxing games

 This game is only a Contender for the worst game of the year February 19, 2000

I'll cut to the chase here, and this game is awful. You name it, gameplay, graphics, audio....they're all awful. Stay away from this poor excuse for a game
Good but frustrating November 20, 1999

This game is overall pretty fun but it takes a little time to get used to how to fight most of the people on the game. This wouldn't be a good game for people with little patients. One big drawback is that when you start to get in the upper ranks the opponents are ridiculously better than you, wich goes back to trying to learn how to fight most of the other people on the game.
Good game but not "King of the Ring" July 22, 1999

This game has good graphics. If you are looking for a brawling, one punch knock out type of game, this is the one. But if you want a realistic boxing game try King of the Ring. It has most of the greatest boxers of the past 50 yrs; Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Holyfield, even ButterBean. This is the game to play when you want a real boxing experience. In the career mode you sculpt the boxer into the fighter you want; fast, strong, or both.

the Contender is an ok game, but I wouldn't recomend it. If you want a boxing game, get Knockout Kings. The Contender is more like a fighting game than boxing game. I have played both games and Knockout Kings blows out the Contender. Knockout Kings actually has real boxers in 3 weight classes, plus you can create your own boxer and bring him up to the top.
