Personally, i'm not a boxing fan, but somehow this game sucked all gamers into the sport. When I got the demo, I thought that we could try this game out, and it might be fun for about 15 minutes. I spent a lot of time on that demo! I was astounded with the graphics and I was sucked into the fun gameplay. Eagerly anticipating the game, I played the demo every so often. Once the game came out, it was all that I had expected. The graphics were still amazing, and some major glitches had been worked out. I must say though, there are some glitches regarding how the opponent falls to the mat and sometimes the speech of the trainer. Sometimes the trainer will say i'm doing well, and then switch to telling me how badly i'm doing in all the same aspects. I am still loving this game though, and those minor glitches do not get in the way. The story mode is quite fun, and its great to be able to create your own boxer and watch as he moves up the ranks. There is a mediocre amount of variance to your different opponents, but after a while you can pick out how to best attack the enemy. One thing that is fantastic is the player damage. The cuts are so realistic, and blood will stream farther and farther down the player or opponent's face as time goes on. The same goes with the swelling, you can see how it affects the player and how it changes the shape of the face. All in all, this game is probably the best game out for the Xbox 360 to this date, after games like GRAW, we shall see if it will stand the test of time.
