On his way home from the monster truck rally in Albuquerque when his car manages to break down. Yet again. Luckily for Wade, he isn't far from the little known boxing town of Big Piney. And this is where our adventure begins. Help Wade fight his way through eight opponents on his quest to fix his car and get back home. Counter Punch is a non-linear boxing adventure game that lets you star as the dumb witted Wade Hixton. But it doesn't end there. On your journey through Big Piney you'll meet the local towns folk, learn new moves, payoff thugs to lend a helping hand a whole lot more. In other words, it be real fun I gar-ron-tee! Product Description Help pugilist Wade Hixton prove himself the finest of 9 fighters in this fantastic boxing title for Game Boy Advance! Features over 2,000 frames of hand drawn cell animation, more than any other GBA boxing title. Earn cash, purchase new moves and even bribe fighters to take a fall for you in the ring! Review Who's Wade Hixton? Think of him as Mike Tyson without the psychotic chemical imbalance, but with the gameplay that'll happily remind you of Punch-Out!! Although Wade has less than 10 opponents (and you'll have to fight many more than once if you want to make some dough), the game's open structure is inviting. Roam around town and fight for cash, answer the call of your beeper (where you get money for winning under certain conditions), or pay off allies to intercede on your behalf during the middle of a bout. Along the way, Wade Hixton will entertain you with its colorful art style and amusing dialog. It's not often these days that a developer treats the GBA not as an afterthought, but gives us a title that's solidly entertaining.Rated: 7.5 out of 10Editor: Matthew KatoIssue: May 2004Subscribe to Game Informer -- Game Informer Review
