Rocky Before Apollo Creed
by bambino33 on March 20, 2010
Pros: Graphics, training
Cons: Limited Boxers, tiring hands from trying to keep up with R stick and L stick, following games direction and throwing punches and nothing happens, or it doesn't act as stated.
Summary: What this game " could be",sad. It has so much promise, one I'm tired of unlocks for fighters, I payed the game price give me all its fighters and ...
Summary: What this game " could be",sad. It has so much promise, one I'm tired of unlocks for fighters, I payed the game price give me all its fighters and tools. Make use of the buttons, using the sticks leaves you exhausted after three rounds. I can't find Rocky in the game or created online, you're kidding me. This game really is in need of "Project Nadal"

Great game ruined by the bugs
by clubber316 on February 13, 2010
Pros: So realistic the learning curve is great then you get better the game also gets harder if you up the difficulty
Cons: The bugs spoil the game and in same cases i heard gives your 360 the RROD when it freezes.
Summary: A great game which i enjoyed so much until after i won the middleweight championship i was challenged by marvin hagler then when he was knocked just as the count ...
Summary: A great game which i enjoyed so much until after i won the middleweight championship i was challenged by marvin hagler then when he was knocked just as the count went to 10 that was it each and everytime it froze at that point there.Tried it on my mates 360 it froze at same point plus tried 3 different copies at the shop but still the same froze in same place.
I gave up and got a refund.
So the final word is brilliant game ruined by bugs -
The greatest boxing game of all-time!
by NWOgichidaa on July 9, 2009
Pros: The gameplay and graphics are near perfect.
Cons: I wish the roster could have had more of a selection of fighters in each weight division. As a big-time boxing fan there are a few details that are part of the fight game that are missing from this fight game such as accidental headbutts, slips, ect.

Great graphics, unacceptable error in coding...
by respect2nd on July 1, 2009
Pros: Looks Great
Great Fight MechanicsCons: Splash screen error, near deal breaker!! EA needs to patch right away. I can't play on XBOX Live because my playlist is too large?? That's terrible work by you EA.
Tedious Training ModeSummary: Aside from the confirmed splash screen error, this is a pretty good game.

Not the leap I was hoping for
by afroloq on June 25, 2009
Pros: Still great controls and decent character renditions...if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Cons: Still has not made the out of ring technical immersive experience to bring this game to life. EA owns the rights to use the ESPN licence but still fails to fully use it except to toss the logo around.
Summary: What can I say? It's another rendition of one of the best boxing games hands down. If you played the revious incarnation that came out 4 years ago, it'...
Summary: What can I say? It's another rendition of one of the best boxing games hands down. If you played the revious incarnation that came out 4 years ago, it's relatively easy to pick this up and jump right in.
So, why did I give this game 2 stars? Because I know a lot of you are going to thik I have lost my mind when you see this but when you think about how much time EA has had to improve this title over the last one and when you really see the failed opportunities that EA had to improve this over UFC OUTSIDE of the ring mechanics you will really understand my low score.
I would dare say if you have forgotten, grab part 3 and play it again.
Now, while I think EA took a step in the right direction with some of the fight mechanics (glancing blows count stamina meter counts for more). I think in a lot of the technical aspects the game has languished or took a step back.
EA has the licence to ESPN and really has yet to take advantage of it (and just in boxing but in most of their sports games... They still haevnt learn the lessons from NFL2K5 of how to immerse people into a sports game!!). Please turn off the rerun of the 2 minutes of ESPN Sports Radio!! If I want to know what's going on, I can stream it from my PC! I really would like to see an in game pre fight show or something to hype the bout you are about to fight.
Another thing I really would love to have seen added would be some kind of rivalry or rematch mode during the Legacy Mode where you and another boxer have a series of matches to prove the best boxer like how mny times did Frazier and Ali fight or classic matches like Sugar ray and Roberto Duran? I mean yes, other fighters will challenege you from time to time but without the added hype behind it, it doesn't feel like much. You do get extra gear from the wins you rack up during the game but it really doesn't feel like you are doing much in Legacy mode except fighting to unlock stuff. Again, there feels like so much more could have been done for legacy mode but it falls short.
Also another small gripe I have is that the create a boxer mode is not(and has never really been) as robust as most fighting games (UFC and WWE anyone?). I could get more into it if I could create a fighter that I like as opposed to feeling limited to the templates given.
Even still if you feel a bit lazy, you can check out EAs online gallery and download a few or even try uploading a pic of yourself and try out creating a pugilist using your mug.
Now in the ring, again, if you have played the last fight night, you can jump right into it and punch away. This time around glancing blows count and thankfully EA didn't go out of thier way to make them apparent but you can tell even better the nuances of when you hit somebody full on vs a punch that lacks power. You can also still swtich your stance, throw haymakers and so forth as long as you remember how to control your character. This is probably the only part of the game that has improved.
Last gripe is not really a big one considering real life considerations but the roster seems more to be inclusive of real life current boxers and not a lot past greats unless you have the time to create them with the blase palate. And even some of the ones included don't translate very well considering how hard the hardware pushes this game to look as graphically superb as the last one. Even so...some of the boxers lack personality...it's almost as if you feel like they just stuck a bag with human skin in front of you to beat around a bit.
To a point I can almost understand why some people who have been behind boxing for years are gravitating to UFC...gaming and in real life.
Outside of all of this, if you have enjoyed the Fight Night series, this is a no brainer to pick up but with the 4 years that it had to really take a huge leap...it only took a hop. It's not the in ring issues that is the problem with this series, it's the out of the ring stuff that is lacking that keeps this title back. -

As evident on the EA forums, the game is unplayable. it has several bugs freezing up at different points in the game which has rendered the game unplayable for many to the point of even causing Xbox 360 consoles to RROD. I will not recommend this game for anyone until after EA sorts out the issues with the game.0 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: Fight Night Round 3 was a great game. When you punched you could feel the power. In Rnd 4 it feels more like your involved in a tickling contest; poking at the other boxing with no real feeling of power behind the punches.

I wonder how EA could take such a HUGE step back with this game and not even realize it during testing??
I wouldn't buy this game again.

Cons: movement is unflowing, ratings are bad for boxers, lack of boxers, and CARTOON LIKE GRAPHICS-ROUND 3 GRAPHICS ARE MUCH BETTER.

Pros: will be $20 dollars by christmas

Summary: graphics only go so far before people realize what they're playing is the same ol same ol. sure there's some strategy and all, but really, i grew up with NES and have played the generations and this game does nothing new for video games. how can you anyways? boxing is dead. ufc, whether you like it or not, and put boxing to shame. fight night is like mario party...fun the first time or two, but when it gets up to 4, 5, 6, 7, shoot even 8...ug. give up.
