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.

Fight Night Round 3 on the PS3 is far superior to Xbox 360 Version!!!

Fight Night Round 3 for the PS3 is one of the best looking video games I've ever seen. Don't trust me, check out [...]. It won the award at the 5th annual Visual Effects Society Awards on February 16, 2007 for "Outstanding Real Visuals In A Video Game." It is far superior than the Xbox 360 version, don't listen to these websites and people that say they are both equal...THEY ARE NOT!!! I have the 360 version, too, so I think I know what I'm talking about!

The fighters look more realistic as they have veins in this version! I saw no veins on the 360 version. The sweat and muscular structure look more defined and realistic, too! I own a Pioneer Elite 42" Plasma HDTV which blows away even the best 1080p LCDs and Plasmas from other manufacturers, so I'm viewing this game the best possible way it can be viewed! Now get this, the PS3 version is 720p and the 360 version is 1080p! You may ask, "How is the 360 version inferior if it is at a higher resolution?" My answer to be honest is I have no idea. I think it might have something to do with the fact that the 360 version was released about a year ago. However, could it be that the PS3 can handle the extra pixels and character design information more effectively? That would seem to be the case since the blu-ray disc that it's on can carry a much greater capacity than it's DVD-ROM counterpart on the 360 - up to 6x more if it's on a dual layer!

Look, I LOVE my 360 and the games, don't get me wrong. I just call it like I see it and this one's a winner all around!

Another stellar inclusion is the "Get In The Ring" mode where you fight from eyes of the boxer! AWESOME!!! I can't tell you how much more this adds to the game. It's like playing a completely different game!

I forgot to mention that the girls in the PS3 version are finely rendered unlike the scarecrow-looking girls in the 360 version! You also get to see the referee in this version! I'm telling you, people, it is worth buying this one, even if you own the 360 version! Trust me! It's like playing a different game altogether! And just to add, the load times are not THAT bad!

I think I'm going to put my 360 Platinum version up for sale on Amazon Marketplace!

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!

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!

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 .

A must have for any boxing fan.

I'm not a hard core gamer. I won a PS3 in a contest and purchased this primarily because I'm a big boxing fan.
This game takes some practice to use the controls effectively and button mashing will not help. When I first loaded the game I couldn't get past the first or second round against any fighter without getting KO'd. As such I found the game quite frustrating. However the more I learned to use the various intricate controls, the more I enjoyed it. Now, this game is one of my favorites.
The game is challenging. The graphics are fantastic, especially on a HDTV. The gameplay is incredibly realistic. Matching up differnt fighters with different styles, strengths, and weaknesses, makes for endless fight possibilities. The 'get in the ring' (only on the PS3 version) is particularly engaging.
I have read complaints about the load times on this game, but they don't seem to be any longer than most other games and don't seem to bother me.
Joe Tessitore serves as the ringside announcer in the game. At least initially this is quite fun because his voice brings the feel of a real fight on ESPN. However, once you've fought a few fights, you've heard most everything he has to say and it starts to get redundant. EA Sports is definitely on the right track using the voice of an actual ESPN boxing analyst, but it future versions I hope they include a wider variety of things to be said, and also additional personalities. It would be great, for example, to hear Tessitore's television counterpart Teddy Atlas chime in during the fight. Or during a heavyweight bout, it would be great to hear commentary from the voice of Lennox Lewis or Mike Tyson.
The game does have areas which can be improved in future releases, but all in all it a great game and by far the best boxing game I've ever seen.

I need a cut man for my thumbs

I am not a huge boxing fan, but this is a PS3 game I can play over and over again. HD makes the difference. The graphics are amazing. The load times do get annoying after a while, but if you play it long enough, you will need the down time to rest your thumbs. Also, if your PS3 is online, you will get real-time ESPN sports ticker info at the bottom. I wish EA had put this into the game during the fights as well. it would give my friends something to read while they were waiting to get beat.
I love the career mode. I disagree with the post that it is nothing special. If you think things are tough, you can create a bigger, stronger fighter. If you think it is too easy, create a smaller fighter. There is a learning curve, but the load times offer helpful tips. Play the training game, it makes a difference. If you are still unsure about this game, all you have to do is rent it. Try the career and in-the-ring modes and you will be hooked.

Excellent boxing 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.
