Unwind after voting in your local primary, caucus, or the general election and give your favorite (or least favorite) politician an uppercut to the face! I was pleasantly surprised to find that Knockout looks to be a polished, suitably ridiculous arcade boxing game. - Pocket Gamer Game Features Beat them all and become president!
