Wonderful! The best game ever made

This game is wonderful and its just amazing how such a game can ever be made. Sticking and Jabbing Eventually wears down ur opponent letting u do a crazy KO punch or a haymaker. The controls are easy to maneuver and learn although throwing a haymaker requires correct timing. Tending to cuts and swelling between rounds really brings out the realism of boxing in the game. Sparring lets u harness ur skills and learn the controls. Sticking and moving lets u easily avoid hooks or deadly punches and lets u throw a stinging jab to the face. Counterpunching just makes u feel so good. For example your opponent throws a deadly hook, you can immediately counterpunch and hit your opponent right back in his face, and this could distabilize him because he wasnt prepared for it, letting you throw a flurry of punches and even giving the opportunity to go for a haymaker, which could send them straight to the canvas. Animation is excellent and is very funny too. Rings are beautifully created and lighted and the way the boxers are introduced makes the whole thing awesome. So, what are u waiting for??? Get your copy right now and you wont regret it.

Cool If you aren't into boxing

When I first played Fight Night 1 i was convinced that it was the best boxing game of all time. I couldnt wait for part 2...but now that part two is here i have to ask what happend to the game i knew and love...The biggest complaint(not mine) about last years version was for people who fought with buttons...(which i actually gave you a very realistic button/punch setup) however buttons will do you know good on this one. the game has been changed to favor analog use. even though it not a great control scheme for a sport like boxing..my question is simple WHY..I read in one video game magazine that the buttons where a cheat way to victory...but I seriously doubt if the reviewer actually has ever seen a boxing match on TV...let alone ringside..So now we have HAYMAKER PUNCHES...which i have actually never heard of before...It lets u throw harder punches by playing with the analog...my question is this...Why would and uppercut not be as strong because the person is using buttons..Think about that...I thought all punches hurt..and since i have actually boxed before..i would like to tell u that they do...This is the single greatest error in video game history..Buttons actually made u feel like a real boxer...the anolog just seems like you dont even have to know boxing to beat anybody...In short its for gamers and not fans of the actual sport

This game is off the hook

I don't know what ya'll are talkin bout this game is off the hook. You just have to play the game for a day to get a hang of the new controls. This game is so much more realistic then the last and the graphics are so much better. I think the gameplay is 10 times better you really have to plan out your moves and their is a lot more strategy involved then the last game. This game overpasses 2004

Not a step in the right direction!!!!!

Three steps forward last year with Fight Night 1, four steps back with this title. Greath graphics and.......... that's about it. Get's real old real fast. Fighting mechanics do not feel organic, difficult still, even with the improvements to throw combos and the using the fight stick has literally given me a blister on my right thumb. Rent it to see for yourself, avoid buying it.

As a big fan of the Fight Night series, I expected this to be a great game. But noooo. They took everything good about Fight Night and flushed it down the drain, keeping all the bad parts and constructing an invention from scratch.

When they proudly looked upon the garbage heap, they decided to title it Fight Night Round 2.

I rented this game.I created my guy, and entered him in the Heavyweight class.I went through the ranks with this guy, starting around rank 50, i worked through the guys,some stronger than others, i eventually reached the first place guy.So after KOing him, you get the heavyweight belt woo hoo, then you go down one weight class to light hevyweight,easier cause they dont have as much power,so then you get up to the 1st place guy and k.o him too.then you go for the Unified title, which is basically a really strong and fast guy, so i eventually k.oed him too. then you defend your titles until you lose them. then theirs not much else you can do,its not for friends coming over cause you need time to get used to the controls.i thought it was good at first, then you realize that you just wasted 20 hours of your life for nothing, not much entertainment at all.

GREAT GAME. THIS GAME IS VERY REALISTIC BUT DOESN'T GIVE ENOUGH PRAISE TO ALLAH.

THE BOXERS ALL PRAISE HIM IN THE RING BUT EA DOESN'T GIVE PROPS WHEN PROPS ARE DUE. IF YOU HEAR THE BOXERS TALK THEY PRAISE ALLAH BEFORE EVERY MATCH... SOMEHOW IT DOESN'T TRANSLATE WELL IN THIS GAME.

THE BOXERS FACES ARE SUPER REALISTIC AND THE GAME IS INCREDIBLY UNIQUE. TO USE THE ANALOG STICKS AS PUNCHES IS REVOLUTIONARY. YEAH ITS WORTH $50. ONE OF THE ONLY GREAT GAMES EA HAS EVER MADE. I'M NOT A FAN OF EA AS A COMPANY BECAUSE MOST OF THE STUFF TEHEY DO IS VERY GENERIC.

OVERALL, THIS GAME ROCKS. I'M A TOUGH CRITIC OF GAMES BUT THIS PASSES WITH FLYING COLORS.

great game

This game is awesome in controls and its very exciting. The controls are so simple once u get used to them, you can concentrate on the game itself and not on how to use the controls to beat the game(some games are exactly like this, u have to beat the controls and not the game itself). Here, once u get in the ring it feels very real. Best part about the game are the strong punches u can throw (of course if you threw something like this in the real boxing match, u'd probably kill your opponent), these land like atom bombs, each one that scores brings up a feeling of a job well done. Of course this game is not for everyone and people with love for strategy may not like this as this game requires simple strategy "Hit your opponent and don't get hit yourself" so whenever you're tired of all the "complicated mind games" just pop this one in and have yourself a "non-stop action" experience. This game is that kind of game which u can play every day and never get tired of playing, just like all other successful fighting games. Assuming 5 stars is "THE BEST" game I gave this game 4 - very good.
