The gameplay in Victorious Boxers is a mix between simulation and arcade style boxing.[4] It features 3D character models fighting each other within a boxing ring. The game ... keeps track of the fight records and saves it to the memory card, via an auto-save option. In addition, actual matches can be saved to the memory card as "replay data" and be viewed later. Another feature of the game is that there are 18 different camera angles[2] available during matches, some of which include a first person view from either character, a TV camera angle, and overhead views for various angles.

Victorious Boxers is a patience-requiring game. It starts out easy, but gets extremely difficult if you don't take the time to learn the controller. At first it seems almost like you can go and bludgeon anyone you want, but enemies will get faster and stronger, dodging you like hot potatoes, and leaving a lick across your cheek that will take weeks to heal. Bobbing and weaving are very important, and punching off of defense as well. In the later matches, you'll have to have close to perfect matches because one mistake can knock you out for good. It seems like the higher-level fighters can easily outreach you, and can knock you down with a good combo of punches, while you have to essentially 'whittle' them down the whole fight with combo after combo, and if you're lucky, you can land a hook to their temple, and put them down.

Once you finally get the chance to start fighting, you’ll find that Victorious Boxers 2 features the tried and true gameplay found in most of today’s boxing titles. Each jab, hook, and uppercut can be mapped to different buttons, allowing you to customize the controls as you like. But unlike some of today’s boxing games, simply mashing buttons will get you slaughtered within seconds. You’ll have to time your attacks carefully, allowing each punch to flow into the next for a solid offense. The AI in this game is unforgiving of mistakes; should you leave yourself open to an attack, your opponent will make sure to exploit your weakness. If anything, the defensive tactics of boxing are just as important as the offensive; you’ll have to watch your enemy’s movements, then duck or sway in a different direct to avoid an oncoming attack.

Victorious Boxers boasts a knockout combination of incredible 3-D motion-captured graphics and addictive gameplay. The title introduces gamers to Ippo, who, fresh off of the mean streets, meets an old trainer who puts him in the ring. Gamers must start at the bottom, then earn the right to a pro placement. Eventually, by working up the professional rankings, they may earn a crack at the world champion. The game differs from other boxing titles in that it offers career progression through constant improvement, and gamers must learn new moves to progress. Listen to your trainer, and he will advise you as each fight progresses.

Once you’ve battled your way through the multiple chapters of the Story Mode, you’ll find that the rest of Victorious Boxers 2 is just as demanding. If you’re sick of the lengthy cutscenes and uninspired dialogue, you can give the Exhibition Mode a shot and pit different boxers against each other for a few rounds. Before the match starts you’ll be given the option of selecting your boxer’s power, speed, and endurance stats. Should you max out someone’s power, his other abilities will shrink to nothing, effectively forcing you to rebalance your character. But if minor matches aren’t good enough for you, the Tournament Mode allows you to arrange larger tournaments, select the contenders and have the computer fight in the matches in case you’re too lazy. Considering all the characters, boxing rings, and music tracks to unlock, you’ll have quite a few options on your hands.
