All Stars entry in the Ippo franchise bringing together multiple iconic series boxers. The format differs from main entries with emphasis on varied character matchups. A pleasant spin-off for fans wanting to see their favourites face off outside the main story.

Description
A compilation and expanded roster from ESP released in 2009 in Japan, gathering nearly every boxer from the manga up to the mid-2000s. The system inherits from the two previous entries, with a few tweaks and an "All Stars Tournament" mode. A late release, on the margins of mainstream PS2 production.

Is Hajime no Ippo All Stars still worth playing in 2026?
A boxing game from Dimps based on the Hajime no Ippo manga, All Stars widens the formula with a broad roster of playable series characters, in bouts that rely on the technicality of the sweet science, dodging and signature combos. The fidelity to the manga, the variety of boxers and the intensity of the clashes win over fans of the work. The modest production and sometimes rigid handling weigh on it. A title for video game boxing devotees and Hajime no Ippo fans after duels between cult characters.
