Hi Ken, While I can't really agree with you on the whole "all audio games are bop it" thing, I definitely see your point with the Saveage Gambit; you definitely have no room in which to do anything different than the expected imput.

I think Self Destruct is better. At least when I played that I didn't feel like I was playing yet another Bop it game. I like Bop It, but not for a boxing game.
