Rocky (Xbox)

Introduction Yet another game/movie tie-in? Clearly this is where the money lies for games developers, as invariably the copies will be flying off the shelves regardless of whether the game is a star or a lemon. so how does xbox rocky fare?

Rocky has always been a well loved, or well loathed film series, that you could either say was great use of a basic, chump to champ story line, or a over worked clieched pile of crap.
