It was back in October 2010 when we first told you Mike Tyson will get its own iPhone game. Then at the SXSW 2011, our very own Will Park got Tyson to briefly talk about the game. Mike was smart enough not to insult Will, knowing our Editor-in-Chief could easily knock him out in a flash of a second. 😉
Anyway “Mike Tyson – Main Event” is now in the AppStore, featuring multiple arenas, as well as tons of fictional fighters like Jordy McDirt, Fluke O’Brady, Jay Shore Tenerelli and the non-fictional Mike. You start as an underdog in a pound-for-pound boxing competition en route to the “main event” – boxing against the former undisputed heavy weight champion of the world, Mike Tyson.
Each victory gets you RockCash credits, which you could use to purchase virtual items to help defeat future opponents.
The game is available as a free download and it will get additional updates in the (near) future. “We’ve got a lot of surprise updates in store with this game,” said Mike Tyson. “It’s going to be a knockout!”
