This is a great game, with graphics that are out of this world. You can actually see the sweat come off the fighters as they box in the ring.
With each crushing blow you can see the contorted faces of the boxers and the actual spit flying out of their mouth..gross but very realistic...
I find myself getting into each and every bout..you can fight against the computer or against someone else if you have 2 controllers. I just started a career w/ Ali and am looking forward to see how it all plays out. I highly recommend this game to anyone that is looking for a good/realistic sport game to play.

Awesome

This game is solid. I love it when it replays the knockdown punch in slow motion and see the sweat flying off. Anyone fight there won't have a pretty boy face left after a good long fight. Takes time to learn to hit your haymaker punches and need to time them right or it will cost you. EA Sports did a fine job converting this game for PS3. Outstanding!

Close to Perfect

I was never a fan of Fight Night games, nor any type of boxing games. The last boxing game I owned was Mike Tyson's Punch Out. However, after purchasing a PS3, I did some research to locate a game that would best show case the power of the PS3. My conclusion was FNR3. I had very high expectations of this game and I must say that most of my expectations were met.
Pro's:
Amazing graphics (skin texture, and sweat).
Great customization to creating your own boxer.
Great Soundtrack (hip hop).
Con's:
Occassional frame rate issue.
Load screens take a very long time.
Customization takes a long time to load, especially when browsing through the different hair styles.
Soundtrack library is too small, only about 10 songs. But this will change once Sony releases a Firmware that allows for custom soundtracks.

Overall, I was very pleased with this game, and enjoy it. Learning curve is about an hour. The various game modes are fun. Split Screen "Get in the Ring" is a cool feature if you want to go up against a buddy. But I personally don't like the "Get in the Ring" mode, although, it's a nice feature exclusively for the PS3.

DISAPPOINTING at best!!!

I was quite surprised by the good reviews for this game. Overall, the game actually took a step back from Fight Night 2004. My breakdown is as follows:

Graphics: I paid $600 for a PS3 and expect high-definition graphics, but Fight Night has graphics I would expect on PS2, very disappointing. There is nothing high definition about the graphics of this game. The boxers are decent but the ring, the boxing venue and especially the crowd are awful. The crowd is blurry and looks straight ahead although you may be on the other side of the ring and they repetitively do the same motion over and over regardless of what is happening in the fight.

Game Play: The actual boxing is very similar to the last Fight Night (I agree with the "if it ain't broke then don't fix it" here). However, the other parts of the game play have become worse. In career mode, the options are very limited. When you train, your boxer actually blocks a portion of the speed dummy so you cannot see what you are supposed to hit. Also, there are no boxer rankings, rather a meter that tells you how popular you are. Are you kidding me EA? You randomly pick contracts (since there is no rankings you just pick randomly based on money). This game is not very fun because there are no rankings and you have no idea how you are doing, who is the champion, or what you are ranked. There is no pre or post fight commentary and no boxing magazine with articles. Literally, you pick a random contract, train and then fight (over and over). It gets boring and old after a while. The only good thing about this game is the AI, the computer does figure out your boxing style and adjust. The other bad part of this game is the store, there are not enough items and it costs $300,000 for a different color pair of shoes or trunks but you only make a few thousand dollars per fight. You also have to pay for certain trainers but it doesn't help your boxing if you do. In addition, they do not show the boxers walking into the venue as in the past, they miraculously about at the bottom of the ring. There are only two winning celebrations and two reactions for knockdowns for your boxer.

Postiives: The only good things about this game is the sound track (one of the best I have heard) and the AI. Otherwise, go back to the drawing board with this one.

Recommendation: No! This title needs serious improvement.

EA Sports is 0 and 2 for PS3 games thus far. What is going on?

And that is the word of D-Critique.

Excellent boxing game

It's my first time on the fight night series, but i liked it a lot, all the options that are available makes it to enjoy a different experience every time.

the online matches are excellent...

Winner by a knockout

My 16 year old son loves this game. The graphics are unbelievably great, at times it looks almost like live action. You can see beads of sweat on their lifelike-looking skin. Definitely a game to own, not just rent. Worth the money. A real winner!

great game

Someone did say the graphics looked like PS2 graphics and that someone probably needs some serious eye laser surgery or a tv that wasn't made in 1985.

The graphics are amazing!.. on a HDTV. I'm still awed everytime i play it.
Gameplay is solid.
Online play is solid.
Replay value isn't much... but playing over and over again with friends never get old.
Nothing to new about it... it was a simple port from the 360 version.

Good game but...

This is a good game but have some misses. The Load Times are too high and the carrer mode is nothing awesome. The Support of EA is very bad, I can't play on Network becasuse the EA servers are not available and the EA can't help me to solve that problem.

The best boxing game around !

Ok first off fight night round 3 is one of the best fighting games for the playstation 3 as well the xbox 360.

The playstation 3 version is the best one of the two console systems. The graphics alone bring you into the game alot more then you could ever think of . Seeing the boxers go at it in the ring , seeing the handy work done to the other boxer by you is verry life like . The arena's you fight in seem to be nicely done for the ps 3 .

The audio seems to matchup extremly well with this game. The sounds comming from hitting some nasty blows is great.

The controls for fight night round 3 don't seem to bad for the gamer , but some players might have a little time needed to learn the controls to have more impact in the game.

There is a cool feature with the playstation version of being able to see the point of view of the boxer . This will add some depth to the game by placing the player more into the shoes of the boxer .

There also is the feature of making your own boxer , this alone can add a good amount of reply time to the game . Here is a example of what you could do . You could try to make a boxer that looks like you or a friend . Then you could fight your self in the ring or take your creation into the game more. You will also notice in the chacacter creation there is a good amount of things you can do with your boxer however you wanna build . You might come up with some insanely funny boxers that look really cool or just pure goofey .

If you have a sony playstation 3 and someone in the family is a boxer fan or just a gamer who likes almost all games then this Fight Night Round 3 is well worth the money and will give you a great time .
