You ever forget about a game that you used to play hundreds of hours of, only to remember you still had it, only to find it's still really fun many years later? Hajime No Ippo 2 Victorious Road is that game for me. Not only is it one of the finest PS2 Boxing Games ever made, it's one of the finest Boxing Simulator's PERIOD.

    I looooove this game series and Ippo as a whole. You are the second person I've seen on yt recently covering it, and every time I see it I get the biggest smile on my face. I would love to see you continue it. You've got a new subscriber. 😊
  • just got this game two days ago , cant stop playing its so much fun.. and with the Ozuma fight i had to use legit boxing theory to win after losing many times
  • the learning curve is so big in this game.. im just realizing you can mix the sway movement in a certain direction with punches to maximize their power

    Hi. Just picked this up. I’m addicted. The difficulty is just right and it’s the third day now that I’m still learning things. The flow in this game is crazy. When you are in the zone it just feels amazing. Career mode is crazy in depth and the replayability is off the charts. Thank you for sharing this gem and bringing some joy to my days. Edit - I’ve played FN Round 2, 3,4 and Undisputed. This game is just as good and even better. Pro tip - Put the SWAY on L1/LB. Put the gyrometer to 90 degrees and choose camera option 02.

    I"ve been addicted to the psp spiritual sequel Boxer's Road 2 and I'm so obsessed i think I'm gonna have to buy a ps2 to dive into this one too bc I love the anime and want to play in that world. The gameplay is wonky at first but everything you want to do in a boxing game feels 10x better than anything else i've played. I wish they would have made another title with this boxing engine and some more polish bc the progression and depth from the first title on PSX to the last entry on PSP, for such an obscure series, and seemingly small dev team is awe inspiring. Truly excellent take on boxing and combat sports in general. It knocks fight night and ufc out the park and puts EA to shame imo.

    This games amazing I wish we had an updated graphics up to date version today
  • I just got into this game from a video documenting its advanced career mode. The game physics are really fun!
  • it took me a whole day to learn how to liver shot to beat Ozuma, but after that i just spammed liver shot on everyone and they died , even Hayami was a easy win, even tho i lost to Ozuma 50 times
