Get a taste of 3D fighting with the launch of the latest game for the iPhone, Iron Fist Boxing. Iron Fist Boxing has great graphics, plays well on the iPhone’s touch screen, and has terrific character variety. But the truth is that it all boils down to repetitive gameplay that feels shallow and half baked.

Iron Fist basically revolves around a simple idea. You pick a fighter, and the game chooses many competitors for you to fight. It follows a “career mode”, if you will, where your fighter gains experience.

The game really shines, and the 3D modeling is beautiful. Textures look good, and the fighters are very well presented, in both visual terms and variety. Punches and kicks are animated well, and hitting an opponent sends sweat and blood flying. It’s especially motivating when blood goes all over the place during a slow-mo special attack. While it does look great, there really isn’t much to see.

Aside from the aforementioned side exercises during story mode, the only place you will really see is the ring. Audio is good, too. The game has a fitting sound track that complements itself nicely, and the sound effects during fighting work just fine. Especially enticing is the countdown after you’ve knocked down the other fighter.
