Fight Night Round 3

Expected so much more...

User Rating: 8.5 | Fight Night Round 3 X360

By prioritymail | Review Date: March 15, 2006

This game is another solid title in the acclaimed series, but it promised much more than it gave me.

PROS:
-Silky Smooth gameplay
-Accurate player damage and fatigue
-Excellent Graphics
-Tight Controls

CONS:
-Mundane fighting experience after a few rounds
-One punch can change a fight (they gave this new aspect of play too much power)
-Slow motion during knock out mode only helps the opponent dodge better
-Same old style of round 2
-recovering from a knock-down shouldn't be made physicaly impossible, it should only gradually increase in difficulty rather than the game deciding which time you never get up

You shouldn't be discouraged from buying this game if you are a fan of Boxing. It is still a very well-made game. It only lacked in a few important places in my opinion.
