Reception
Like the first Victorious Boxers, this game had a relatively unknown release. Though very similar to the first, it did not receive as many positive reviews. PALGN rated it an overall 6.5 and stated that it was a "reasonable boxing title" that could have done better if released earlier. They also stated that fans of the anime and manga would enjoy it. Famitsu rated the game a 28/40. ThunderBoltGames rated it a 7 out of 10 and said that the games has "the right stuff were it counts." Eurogamer also rated it a 7 out of 10 and said that while many gamers may prefer games like the Fight Night series over Victorious Boxers 2, "it's certainly an acquired taste that proves satisfying if you give it time to beef up". Metacritic has it rated at 61 out of 100 and Game Rankings has it rated at 70%.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”

“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
