Gameplay: The gameplay in this game is relatively good a bit repetitive as it is always the same pattern fight train fight train fight train etc. You can get different personal trainers to help you costing about £50,000 or something along the lines of that a true rip off for a few more percentage. When you train some things will go up others down as it realistic. It can get annoying though but doesn't ruin the game in the slightest. There are different types of training though so it doesn't really get that boring plus each one only lasts about two minutes. Now for the actual fights. The fights at the beginning are alright but there isn't that much good blood effects as you have the protective gear on. Once you are above the Amateur level or rank you the graphics really come into play but I'll go into more detail about the graphics later. The fights vary as each person fights differently. Some don't block run straight into it fists flying all over the place. Some come in slowly blocking and dodging they can be quite annoying. It is especially annoying when they are dodging. It seems you just cannot get a punch in. (personally I get very annoyed with them!)

Graphics: As I said earlier the blood graphics and sweat don't really come into play until above amateur level. The create a character is absolutely great. The amount of detail from are you fat ripped skinny muscled to how wide big thin your eyebrows are the range of detail is simply massive. The in fight graphics are better than most games that I've seen. When you knock them down the sound and face crunch and wobble etc. Finally the bit I've been waiting for. The blood effects. They are amazing! The way the blood flies through the air and you hear the jaw crunch neck snap and face smash as the opponents face hits the deck for the count! The way the muscle look and the arms stretch out to smash the opponents face is simply phenomenal.

Controls: The control scheme in this is very good. Something like Skate. but Fight Night Round 3 was here first so probably that is where the inspiration for Skate. came from. Swing right for a right hook or left for left hook. Swing it up for an uppercut. This eliminates button bashing but for those who want to though you can swing wildly and hope you get some good punches in this is how I started out but I slowly got better and got the swing of things (no pun intended!) It is very fun though even if you are just swinging the sticks randomly. Just looking in aw at the graphics.

Multiplayer: The multiplayer split screen is fun. It is fun when you have a friend round for playing seriously or just a fun game. Probably quite good when you are drunk I couldn't really tell you though as I am only twelve. Online is fun too but if you aren't very good at it then I advise that you don't play with anyone that has a really high gamerscore or anything like that trust me I tried and failed miserably.

Overall: A great game with great graphics flawed gameplay but no with glitches just not much
variety when it comes to career mode!
