| This game is quite frustrating takes some practice to learn how to use the controls effectively and button mashing will not help. Cause at first no matter how many times or how hard you push the buttons you will get beat. It does have amazing graphics. Overall the game is good and its worth the price you pay. |

The 2 star review is from someone who obviously didn't take the time to figure out the game. There is a training mode, which is very helpful, as well as instruction on the moves in game manual. After the first night I was knocking the crap out of my opponents. It seriously isn't hard to figure out how to play this game.
Ok, now that I have cleared that up I would like to go into what I though of the game itself. I am playing this on 42" plasma with 1080p and the graphics are stunning. I didn't feel like the punches/defense was delayed at all. It feels very on demand and when I execute a move I get a response right away. Also I love that you use the right analog stick to throw all of your punches (L1 + right analog for body shots). Covering up and bobbing and weaving are real simple to perform as well. It takes some practice to get off solid combonations, and you have to make sure to work the body and jab to be effective.
I would recommend this game to anyone that loves boxing. For some in game video clips, there are plenty [...]

| Much like the previous Fight Night games it's fun with your friends for a good while. Pretty soon it begins to get a bit boring and falls by the wayside. Fun to pick back up and play every once and a while. Amazons price makes it a pretty good deal for a solid game. |

"Not what we expected" | 2008-03-15 |

| Not exactly a fun family game when the boxers don't do what you use the controllers to get them to do -- major delayed reactions. It seems like a bunch of random punches. We wound up with sore thumbs pressing buttons trying to defend against another boxer's punches, and all our guy would do is just stand there and keep getting hit. We couldn't read the print on the screen and the documentation to get help -- where's that? And WHY is it necessary to throw a bunch of scenes of half-naked women holding round cards after every round? I expected a TEEN rating for a little blood and violence, but not sleeze. I'm sure others love this game and perhaps understand the button techniques, but like I said, for us it was a disappointment, as we thought it would be better family fun but instead was frustrating. |

I've got some seriously mixed emotions on this one.
On one hand, I absolutely love boxing games and feel that this one was done very well. On the other...I have some serious issues with the MULTI-PLAYER gameplay.
STAND-ALONE: Outstanding!! Easy set-up. Very real feel to the action. The training sequences...while repetitive, don't get too boring really. Love the way you can affect your boxers appearance with training! Customization gives you something other than just beating the crap outta people to look forward to.
MULTI-PLAYER: Poser-types that sit in the middle of the ring with a loaded haymaker are everywhere online!! That bread & butter style of gaming is the reason why games fail online. Hooray for you poser!! You found a way to win 99 out of 100 times with some junk-boxing that steals the realism and the fun from an almost perfect boxing game.
Great game in STAND-ALONE, totally frustrating in MULTI-PLAYER. You make the call.
Note to EA: Just get rid of the Haymakers! Increase the damage done by someone walking into a punch and you will have achieved the desired effect of that stupid Haymaker system. Also...please give up on the right analog stick punching system. The learning curve is too high for it, it gets changed to the button configuration by most people anyway, and it was just a bad idea in the first place. I know there was a push to incorporate that previously useless analog stick, but just because you can do something...doesn't mean you should. |

| Very good game, the carrer mode it's excellent you can create any boxer with very real caractheristics (in other words yo can create exactly yourself) the only bad thing is the loading times take so long...Overall is a very good game highly recomended!!! |

| First of all, let me say that this is a very good game. The animations and details are cool. Sweat and blood flying off of a punched face give the game a realistic feel. I would give this game a 5 except that I feel they should take a "maddenesque" approach to the carrer mode. It doesn't go into much detail on this front. I would like to see ea go into more of a detailed approach in this area for the next installment of this game. Overall though I would highly recommend. |
