Conclusion
GF KB is a very limited game in many ways that range from only having to play as him(1 player mode); One stage, to the lack of options that could have improve playability for different levels of players. To beat your opponents in this game you will have to spent some time learning the basics, practicing and may be reading the instructions manual(I didn't have it) for any useful advices or tips if there are any. I bet most of the people that have this game never finish it its too difficult, I couldn’t pass the first stage. I went online to read other reviews for this game to know how others felt about this game here are some lines from those reviews; “Incredible mediocre & frustrating ”, “I am afraid if I give this game a 0 George foreman will hunt me down and kill me, I give it a five”, “Get this game if you want to have a HORRIBLE time”. I highly recommend skipping this game it has nothing to offer. ♦GGG♦
