"Rocky" is a video game of the fighting game genre released in 2002 by Rage Software. The game is based on the "Rocky" movies.

In the game the player controls Rocky Balboa on his journey from a club fighter, facing opponents like Spider Rico, until his championship bout against Apollo Creed and beyond. The game sticks closely to the movies with all characters being at least mentioned in the movies. In at least the PAL markets the PS2 and Xbox versions of the game were packaged alongside the original Rocky dvd release. A sequel was also made called "Rocky Legends".

Gameplay

When the game begins, as a "button-mashing" game, one must repeatedly press the A button in a "Training" stage, showing Rocky punch some sort of punching bag in a limit of 60 seconds. The more punches, the stronger Rocky will become during the next match.

Once completed, the player will first fight Spider Rico(the person seen fighting Balboa near the start of the first Rocky film). You fight three boxers (while doing 2 training sessions between each match). After the 3 matches you fight the boss of that movie, Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang, etc. When either fighter is low on stamina, one will fall to the ground, not using the three-time knockdown rule. The player has 10 seconds to get up, however doing so isn't controlled by the player. Once all three opponents are defeated, or if Rocky cannot stand up again, the game is over and will show the opponent cheering on another screen.

Controls

The player has control over their characters movement with the anolog stick while the circle, triangle, square, and X buttons are used for various punches.

Audio and video content used from the film series

The games intro movie features film footage edited from the five movies showing the main boxers and ends with an advert for the "Rocky" DVD. The remaining five cutscenes feature CGI footage using the in-game character models and original film audio recreating segments from the films. The song "Gonna Fly Now" is the only one from the series featured in the game.
