Mike Tyson Returns to the Ring News

Codemasters confirm Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing for the Playstation2.
Codemasters today confirmed that Mike Tyson will be returning to a Playstation2 near you in Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing.
The game is a sequel to last years PSOne hit, and is scheduled to go on release as of April 2002.
The game is set to feature a unique facial damage graphics engine, to realistically recreate every bruise, cut and gash. You can almost feel the pain.
Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing will enable players to create up to four of their own boxers, choosing their personal, physical and boxing attributes. Players can also choose their own boxers' theme tunes, taunts, speeches, and knockout moves.
Player-created boxers will be able to "win" special moves from opponents as each is beaten, building their own boxer's skills up.
As players progress through fights in the seven gaming modes, more challengers and game features are unlocked in preparation for the player to enter the ring with Tyson himself.
Bronze, Silver and Gold title belts are featured and the player's challenge is to develop his boxer through these championships to win the belt and purse money. Cash prizes play an important part: the more a player earns, the more of the game can be unlocked. Feeling confident? Players can, at any time, call up Tyson for a "friendly" match to see how their skills and techniques are coming along.
Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing has a belt-winning team behind it. For Codemasters, Jon Hare is Lead Designer and this is his first complete project for the publisher. Atomic Planet, a new venture from Jason and Darren Falcus, previously of Iguana and Acclaim Teeside, is responsible for the game's development and John Roberts, head of one of Codemasters' studios, is producer.
Says Jon Hare, Codemasters' Lead Designer for the game:
"Tyson's a remarkable global presence and we've now got all the right elements, great gameplay, top licenses, real depth to create the definitive console boxing game. We learnt a lot from the production of the PS one Tyson game and with that experience, and the fresh approach Atomic Planet will bring, I'm confident we're onto a real heavyweight hard-hitting winner."
Speaking about his continuing involvement with Codemasters, Mike Tyson says:
"My kids talked me into doing last year's PlayStation game and now they're getting into their new consoles and they want to see me on those too so it's cool that Codemasters want to go on with the Tyson games. The ideas for the new game sound awesome and it'll be good to see me going face to face in a heavyweight-specific game."
