Get ready to enter the world of legends as Ubisoft announced today that Rocky Legends has shipped for the Microsoft Xbox and the PlayStation 2. As the follow-up to the smash hit, Rocky, Rocky Legends serves up a one-two punch of adrenaline pumping, arcade-simulation boxing action. Players will begin their careers as one of four legendary fighters, Rocky Balboa, Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang, or Ivan Drago, as they fight their way to the top from unknown amateurs to legendary champions.

"Rocky Legends pummels all other contenders - its easy controls, fast-paced action and diversified fighting combos provide a unique and fun-filled experience," said Helene Juguet, director of marketing for Ubisoft. "Ubisoft is thrilled to be continuing the legacy of the Rocky universe through such an innovative, interactive medium."

In Rocky Legends, players will relive boxing-cinema history, playing through the careers of Rocky Balboa, Clubber Lang, Apollo Creed or Ivan Drago from their raw beginning as unproven amateurs to their ultimate rise as boxing champions. Rocky Legends also boasts new boxing arenas, intuitive training modes and 40 opponents to choose from in arcade mode.
