User Rating: 9 | Fight Night Round 3 X360
One of my favorite games series' in gaming. I've been playing EA boxing since games since knock out kings, I loved Punch Out & Ring King on the NES, I even liked Ready 2 Rumble on the DreamCast. Put it wasnt until Fight Night 2004 when I truly loved boxing games. The unique control mechanic got me sucked right in. I never use the button in this game, & i like how it's more balanced for button mashers & analog stick users to fight in this iteration. Lets face it this game has the best charcter models in games to date. Which is fabulous but i'm still in love with the gameplay. I play my matches like a real fight i jab, block, parry & counter. I am a god in this game, my record is flawless though I have gotten close to losing on certain occasions. The multiplayer is by far the best part or the game, theres nothing like owning a real person in the virtual wolrd by leaving their face bloody & swollen. Career mode is nothing special the A.I. is weak & easy and i hate how you cant create a perfect boxer in career, but it is more realistic. I just feel like we should have been given a choice on whether or not we wanted a realistic boxer or a perfect boxer. But you can still make one for mulitplayer mode which is great. It's an overall great game that has can be simplistic yet surprisingly deep.
