If you liked Fight Night 2004 and Fight Night: Round 2, you are going to LOVE Fight Night: Round 3..... Read here.......
Fight Night: Round 3 makes up for most of Xbox 360's failures by contributing variety and stunning graphics to the system. Round 3 takes full advantage of the 360's system, and holds nothing back. In my opinion, Round 3's graphics are the best for the Xbox 360 yet. You could literally feel the pain you cause your opponents in the game. The best facial expressions I've ever seen in any videogame to date.
Round 3's variety of gameplay modes and customization only adds to its success. ESPN Classic Mode is a nice addition to the Fight Night series and allows you to relive some of the greatest rivalries in boxing history. Round 3 also offers a wide variety of new-to-the-game boxers, such as Oscar De La Hoya. Create-A-Boxer returns and is better than ever. New fighting styles are available to you such as the Philly Shell and cross defences. And finally, I'm happy to say, Haymakers do not make a fight one-sided anymore. You will now throw a 'slow' Haymaker, making it convenient for both new players and veteran alike.
The only failures I've recognized in Round 3 is its just above average Sound. The soundtrack is once again mediocre, and to me, the commentary only adds to its demise. But, other than that, Round 3 is in my opinion the best Xbox 360 game to launch yet.
