The Thrill Of The Fight and Creed: Rise To Glory are two of the best VR boxing games available, both offering highly immersive boxing experiences, loads of fun, and a really good workout while you’re playing. They are quite different games, and the right one for you will depend on what you are looking for from a VR boxing game. This article is going to compare The Thrill Of The Fight Vs Creed: Rise To Glory to help you decide which is right for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve purchased both of these games myself and played them for about 40 hours in total using the Meta Quest 2 and HP Reverb G2. This article is entirely independent and provides my personal opinions about both games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Thrill of the Fight is a single-player VR boxing game that is heavily focused on providing an authentic boxing simulation.<\/strong> It is a room-scale VR experience where you must use realistic movements to punch, block, dodge, and move about the ring to defeat a series of AI opponents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Thrill Of The Fight feels as close to real boxing as you can get in VR<\/strong>, and you must block and dodge effectively, and time your punches if you want to beat each opponent. It is a single-player game where you can fight against 9 AI opponents at a range of difficulty levels or play a number of training modes. The graphics are reasonable but not as impressive as Creed: Rise To Glory, and there are fewer features, including no access to multiplayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creed: Rise To Glory is an immersive, story-focused VR boxing game<\/strong> that has you taking on the role of Adonis Creed, as you rise through the ranks of the boxing world, trying to make it to the very top. It’s a terrific game with very solid gameplay mechanics but it is a boxing game, rather than a simulation. It has a number of great gameplay mechanics that some will love and others will hate depending on what you want from a VR boxing game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The core mechanics are excellent, with punching and blocking feeling accurate, and gameplay that rewards well-timed dodging. There is a stamina system that gives the gameplay a good rhythm between offense and defense and there are fun mechanics for recovering from knockdowns and big hits that significantly differentiate this from The Thrill Of The Fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of the cast of the Rocky movies make an appearance and hearing the Rocky theme playing as you load the game never fails to make me smile. There is a short, but entertaining story mode, and a free-play mode that lets you enjoy training activities and fight any of the opponents at a range of difficulty levels. Creed: Rise To Glory has a multiplayer mode which is tons of fun, although the low player base can make finding matches a little slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creed: Rise to Glory is a game first and foremost, in contrast to The Thrill Of The Fight, which sets out to be an authentic VR boxing simulation.<\/strong> I found both games hugely enjoyable, but there is a clear market for each one. If you are looking for a boxing simulation experience, choose Thrill Of The Fight. If you want a premium boxing game with gameplay mechanics and a story designed to entertain, choose Creed: Rise To Glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are significant differences between these two VR boxing games, and you are likely to prefer one or the other depending on what you are looking for. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCreed: Rise To Glory<\/h2>\n\n\n
