This is the first boxing game I've played that really captures the feel of an actual match. The demo is downloadable from the XBox Marketplace, but the controls have changed from that version to the final release. The button-mashing has been replaced with the Total Control system, utilizing the left and right control sticks to throw punches. A little more difficult, but much more rewarding.

The control scheme is adjustable, however, using six different configurations, so Total Control is optional.

Grest game, wish for better Boxer selection

No problems with the game except for the commercials. You would think that EA would be able to afford to include fighters like Foreman, Lewis and Louis, Tommy Hearns,and Marciano after receiving the big bucks from Burger King and Under Armour. Instead we get Calvin Brock, guess his management team paid to include him too. Lots of money to be made on a marquee fighter, ask Jeff Lacy's team. A fight game should have respect for the fighters, historical and current, that elevated the game

This IS what Im talking about

This game is a must have for all xbox 360 owners. If you dont like box go find some thing else, but if you do you should apprechiate how realistic this games. EA relay did a good job here. The controlls are tight and well tuned the visuals are mind blowing. The boxers realy seem to get tiered and it shows in the amout they sweat and in body language. Every thing has been articulated to near realist value exsept for the fans in the crowd but who even cares about that but people that can even play. So buy keep it play it on line its so sweet come let me beat you up!!

Fight Night Round 3 -- a decent offering

This game is VERY GOOD but it could have been GREAT.

The actual boxing is well done - it's everything else that lacks.

After you play this a few days, you're going to compile a record the likes of, say, 20-4. Pretty soon you forget the guys that have have fought. It would be nice to keep track of the statistics so that you know, for example, that your record against Tyrone Sharpe is 3-1.

Also, they've clogged the game with a bunch of completely unrealistic items...boxing shorts that cost $700,000?!? C'mon. Plus, once you choose your outfit that gives you a 20% boost of some kind (power, speed, stamina, chin, etc. -- you decide), the items that are less than 20% aren't anything you're going to drop down to. You should be able to "closet" all the clutter you're not going to use. I like the tattoos but you should be able to upload your own.

Having the Burger King guy as your trainer is just plain stupid. Funny that he sounds IDENTICAL to the loser trainer that doesn't cost you anything to use. I don't eat at Burger King so don't appreciate it splashed all over the place: in the ring, on the walls, on your boxing gloves, the trainer in the corner...LAME.

Again, the gameplay and graphics are fun but I need STATISTICS to make Career Mode meaningful.

If you like boxing or any kind of fighting sport, then you will like this game. I'm not a huge fan of boxing games...I think the last one I played before this one was Evander Holyfields game on Sega. Obviously it's been a while. But I was once addicted to that game also. Train, fight, train, fight, train, fight. repetitive, but that's how boxing really is. Great game and highly recommended.

Fight Night 2004 + Fight Night Round 2= This!!!!!!

Pretty much its the past Fight Nights with a few twist that can change the fight around in 1 punch. The graphics are STILL some of the best on the 360 and whats scary (lol) is that PS3 looks WAY BETTER!!! Single player is pretty much the same as Round 2. The only redeeming quality is the online which can be fun as hell or wishing your oppenent will go to........yeah. Online is just duking it out with people online across the world. The lag is present due to some connections but oh well. All games have some lag at one point in time. Now, be prepared for people cheating by:

Pulling: disconnecting the ethernet cable and inserting again to save theirselves a loss

Turtling: Only throwing one punch and then moving their fighter in a circular motion thus making him MUCH harder to it. Its possible to hit them, but by the time you've hit them enough your fighter is already punched out. Also, they won't throw a punch at all and as soon as you thow "ONE" uppercut, they counter with a haymaker to knock you out.

Lagging on purpose: When they are about to get knocked out the game "suddenly" starts to slow down and then they "miraculously" come back to win.

Illegal blows: Yep. They a elbow you in the face and cause you to bleed on both sides which they take advantage of.

* Deep breath * Now, if you can overlook these aspects of how the core gameplay hasn't changed since 2004, the repitive single player career, and the cheaters online then you'll find one of the best sports games ever.

Now it seems like I'm bashing it but its not that bad at all its just that it the only improvements from the past iterations are the graphics and the slower hay-makers(thank God). Its a good game to have just to play but if you're going online, proceed with caution.

After Madden and Bouldergate, this is his favorite XBOX 360 game. He doesn't even like to watch boxing but he loves this game

This game is probably one of my favorite and most played games! The controls are easy to use and it's just non-stop action. I like the create your own character. Also rebuilding a legend is great also. Playing this on XBOX Live is the perfect way to sharpen your skills. Game play is always different and keeps you on your toes. I hope EA keeps this franchise alive!

Great for the Boxing Fan

Fantastic game. I'm a boxing fan and I get into the strategy of this game. Whether you're working the jab, wearing down your opponent's mid-section, parrying, or trying to land that 12th-round haymaker this game has it all. The punch system is awesome; you throw the joysticks forward as if you were actually punching. I like to throw a lot of punches, so this game actually wears me down in a 12-round bout. My only knock is that this game only has maybe 15-20 real fighters, but in actuality that is a lot for a boxing game. I've only played against a friend a few times but that is a ton of fun. Nothing's better than slugging it out with a buddy. Best boxing game I've ever played (this side of Punch-Out, saying otherwise would be heresy).
