Coin945: It is much better, although the reception is extremely one-sided considering its scores. Surely there is some criticism of the game somewhere. Gameplay and plot usually comes before development. The article also needs the actual genre of the game and a gameplay description of what you actually do (right now it just describes the game in a vague way).

... that fighting video game Panza Kick Boxing was endorsed by a French kickboxing champion who also supplied technical advice? Source: Patterson, Mark (January 1991).
"Andre Panza's Kick Boxing". CU Amiga: 49.
Seems to have been 5x expanded at time of nomination, the article reads fine though could use some light copyediting. This might seem daft, but the hook fact is not explicitly stated in the article (merely that Panza "endorsed" and "advised", not that it was "named after" him), nor is it actually found in the source (probably because it's obvious). Much of the "meat" of the article is derived from the reception/legacy, though this is probably to be expected of a video game piece. Also awaiting QPQ.
