Final Blow is an action game based around the sport of boxing. You can play the fighters in a sequence of knock-out competitions, (the computer versions also include a round-robin league). Rounds last one minute, with a short break in between them. As in the real sport, your aim is to knock your opponent down for 10 seconds, by gradually weakening him with a series of punches. You can block punches, to avoid them inflicting damage onto you. The ring is of a limited size, so players can be cornered, although the referee will intervene to break the boxers up if they become entangled in a stalemate position.

Who would've thought that the obscure master system game was bad, Punch Out this is not. Stilted as hell fighting, just the most unsatisfactory gameplay I've ever felt in a game period, and confusing as hell design. The bar at the top isn't the opponent's health, what the hell were they thinking? The opponents fall down at random, it feels almost impossible to not trade hits, and as far as I can tell the only thing you can do is punch left and right, move, and block. Just awful, don't touch it, the game equivalent to sucking on a lemon with just your gums. I'd rather pull teeth then press start on this again
