Great gameplay, good looks but a seriously flaw: the music! A very small selection of menu music annoys you to death.
The punching system as in the previous game is very fun and makes the boxing feel more real. The graphics are pretty nice on the Xbox. A major downfall is the menu music. EA is usually good with it's EA Trax but for some reason this soundtrack is lacking and it gets on your nerves very quick. Beyond that you can't select your entrance song as far as I'm aware, which you could do in the previous game. It makes little sense to me.
Good game if you like boxing but the difficulty is flawed and the music WILL annoy anyone who spends a decent amount of time playing the game. Custom soundtracks would have been nice.
Rent it!
