So what is Creed like, as a game?
There's an option to do “Career,” which I haven't chosen yet
because it sounds like a big time commitment. There's an online
opponent mode, where you can fight other players live, but I have
little interest in multiplayer video games, especially when a lot of
online players are immature teens with no filter. So far, I've just
selected “Free Play,” which starts me out in a boxing gym. I'm
represented with the full-body avatar of a rather buff boxer wearing
boxing shorts, shoes, and gloves. I can walk around the gym by
swinging my arms back and forth like I'm walking, and my avatar's
legs move in tandem. I can click-turn quickly, which is nice because
it doesn't induce any motion sickness. In the gym, there are a bunch
of workout stations: two heavy punching bags hanging from the
ceiling, two humanoid-torso dummies, two round punching bags
suspended at eye level by cords attached to the ceiling and floor,
and a treadmill. Plus, there's a boxing ring, which you can go inside
and train with a trainer-guy holding punching mitts that you have to
strike. Oh, and did I mention the trainer looks exactly like
Sylvester Stallone? It turns out, Creed is based on the movie,
“Creed,” which features Stallone as Rocky Balboa. Usually games
based on a movie are terrible, but I have to say, I've been impressed
with this one!
