This is one of the wrost games I've played. Whoever came up with the idea to have the right analog stick as the punch control should be fired. It is the most idiotic and ridiculous system I have ever seen. They should have stuck with regular buttons. Also having you put the image of the ref in focus using the left and right analog sticks to get up after a knock down is plain dumb. Sure the graphics are great and there is all lot to customize your personal fighter with( almost to much), but that wont ever make up for crapy gameplay.
In three words: This game sucks.

This game is whack just like crack!!!!

First of all the analog punch control is basically the opposite of punch control. It constantly pissed me off to the point where I wanted to destroy my PS2. And the selection of the fighters for each weight class is pretty sorry. So if you read this don't waste your money and buy this just steal it. Holla.

Rent before you buy...

I couldn't stand the way the controls were setup on this game. I played this game for about a week until a huge blister formed on my thumb and I traded it back in for MVP2004.

Great game bad controls

If you like boxing and don't mind playing with the right analog stick on your PS2 controller then disregard this. I played the demo from OPM and it was a lot better than this game. Whenever you block the health meter on the other boxer goes up. The signature punches stink. But overall I guess the best boxing game $50 can buy.

mediocre at best

not that good but not that bad either. its an ok game with strange appeal.

its not addictive to play. but at the end you feel like this game is just trying to appeal to Hip hop kids without much saying from adults.

i don't think its worth buying but i'm waiting till the new version comes out.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING

The first two games were good but then the next one was bad. Then there is this one!! Why the "tigger" anouncer? Why the stupid, annoying rap music? The camera angels are terrible too. I finally settled on the swing angle. No clinching and the fact that you cut the fighter so easily is not real. The game does have some cool stuff. The knockouts are cool. But overall the game is frustrating to play. You don't have that total feel that you are in control of your boxer like in the 1st two games. I only paid $15.00 bucks for it so I am not too upset. Had I spent $40 or more I would be pissed.

A Step Back

This game is nothing like the previous ones. The game control is awful, movement really sucks, graphics are not good at all, the rap music is just pathetic! And when you knock down an opponent, they look down right stupid. That rag doll technique really is lame.

It was fun for a day

1. The soundtrack is limited to hip hop garbage; I thought they should have included a variety. I think the hip hop is probably realistic though since boxing is a ghetto sort of sport. 2. The detail of the arenas is very good but the actual boxing graphics leave something to be desired. The boxers have a rubbery sort of unrealistic look. 3. The level of detail provided for creating a boxer is outstanding. I was able to create a boxer that looked just like me! My friend was laughing when he saw it. Overall, the game is okay but I don't think great. It's the only PS2 boxing game I've played so I have nothing to compare to it though.

Great Idea just a little far ahead of this Gaming Console

The graphics and design of the game are superb, having Roy Jones Jr. endorse it was a great idea, of course until he got embarrassed by Tarver the other night, and the music is fantastic. However, the game remains light years behind other EA sports titles due to its reliance on "joy stick punching." Though the gameplayer has more control over the fighter, overall gameplay suffers on higher levels because the PS2 controller cannot respond to player commands quick enough to defeat quick opponents. At times, if you dont move the joystick in the EXACT position prescribed by the manual your boxer will simply smile and take a devastating punch to the face. I like the idea of joystick punching but the PS2 is simply not a game console prepared for that level of gameplay sensitivity. Aside from this major problem are smaller ones in which the judges almost always rule for the incumbent opponent in close fights (Roy Jones must have had input on that), and Tiggers redundant round closing remarks becoming increasingly aggravating as the match proceeds. Some more originality is necessary there. On a whole the game is a strong contender in the boxing arena, but I would caution anyone looking to buy it about the game controls they are difficult to master, and the difficulty increases with the age of your PS2. Better controllers are necessary for this game to survive in its current format.

If you're new to Fight Night, this is good

I made the mistake of playing the newest fight night before going back to play this. I wanted to see how far they came. Anyway, this game is good if you're just starting out, create a boxer is awesome, some of the boxers get on my nerves, they run around the ring the whole fight, and it's like 'what's the point?'. I HATE, absolutely HATE the way they have you toggle the analog sticks to get up if you've been knocked down (you're seeing triple and you have to use them to 'focus' and bring the images into one) it's a pain in the you-know-what, but over all it's good.
