This game is a great fighting game. You can create a person and start a career! When you punch people in the face they slowy begin to swell and then a cut will open and they begin to bleed! Every time you punch them blood splaters off their faces.
When you start off playing career mode you can make your own boxer or play with a known boxer. You start off in last place out of 50 other boxers you slowly work your way up to first place, then when you get to first place you have to defend your tittle!
There isn't much to tell about this game, just that it has good graphics, good joyicestick control, and that its a good game.

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.

Just play the game.

If you are like me, then you may be tired of people sharing their lists about the pros and cons of every game they play. Rather than giving you a play-by-play analysis of the game, I will ask you one simple question: Are you looking for a fun game with high replay value? If your answer is "yes," then you will definitely enjoy Fight Night Round 2.

The Bottom Line: This game has a great career mode, and the boxing action is fantastic!

Great Improvement Over first one

I purchased this game because I enjoyed the first. The only problem I had with the first one was that it was very difficult to get high in the ranks before you were forced to retire. In this installment of the game you can just keep fighting, although with the slow loss of stats biting at your heals. The mini games to build your stats are easier. If you try to take the easy way out and to the auto train, you get lower results and can potentially hurt yourself, which in turn lowers stats. The gameplay itself is practially identical, with the addition of the haymaker. This is a more powerful hook or uppercut that takes more energy. A few well timed haymakers can turn the tides in almost any fight.
Changing weightclasses and unifying belts is a great addition as well.
Really nothing to say bad about this game other than it only has so much replayability. After you retire one fighter, making another is kinda fun, but you can only do that so many times.

Awesome Boxing Game - Strongly Recommended.

I have played quite many boxing games and this one, I have to say, is one of the best. Though I haven't played the first Fight Night, I can't make any comparison with regard to this one.

The career mode is great. You could either create a new boxer (your own boxer with facial feature and body build type, etc...) or you could rebuild the career of those famous boxers came with the game. With new boxer, you would start out at 20 years old and fight until your boxer gets old and retire. This game mode is highly replayable.

A lot of people like the way EA makes the total-punch-control (using the Right analog stick to punch). Though I only use it for making the Haymakers. I still stick with the basic punch buttons for jabs, cross, and hooks. The game punching mechanism is extremely smooth. That is a big plus.

There are many things I like about this game. Graphic is awesome. EA makes the boxers look very real (great job). The best part is the fighting. In this game, you MUST BOX to win. This is not the type of game in which you would win depending on how fast you jam the buttons. You must dance around, defend yourself, and box! Patient is the key of winning. If you are not patient rushing in and punching yourself out to dead, you'll be KO fast.

I know some people complained about the computer would over-use the Haymakers in the Hard Level. It is true! In the hard-level, you don't expect to stand toe-to-toe trading with the computer. The computer is too fast for you and it will "haymaker" you to dead. Again, you have to be patient and box! The true champion is the one who could defend as well as (or better than) offend. The fun of boxing is only to hurt your opponent but also to protect yourself well from being hurt.

Overall, I would rate this game is one of the best boxing game out there available. Prior to this game, I vote for "Victorious Boxers". Unfortunately, "Victorious Boxers 2" never came to U.S.

If you are boxing fan, I would strongly recommend getting this game. It is very addictive.

I hope you would enjoy the game as much as I did. Have fun.

Wowwwwwww. I truly love this game to death. I think by far the best platform for this is the Xbox. Anyway The graphics id give a 9.0, the sound/music 9.2 (espesialy since Big Tiggers gone) the gameplay, a 9.7, and overall probly a 9.8. I play this game online EVERY NIGHT and i just want to say no one could ever beat me, im the greatest in this game. And if you think you can beat me, meet me in the online lobby and we'll brawl fasho. But anyone who dosent have this game must get it. ITS A MUST HAVE!!!

I hesitated buying this game because the other boxing games in this series i would play finish then be bored stiff.But not this one what a great game Love the punching control and the defense and counter punching is awesome.It couls improve on the next one though the only thing I didnt like about this game was in carrer mode when you make it in to the top ten and go for the title you fight no namers insted of all the greats or even the current champ in real life.You can only fight boxers like ali and lewis ,and all those guys in a exhibition match.Plus Only have One create a boxer and I agree they need to let 2 players challenge each other in a title fight.Othe than those things this game is a no brainer JUST BUY IT if you love boxing youll LOVE THIS GAME....
OH and NO this Game or any boxing game doesent need TYSON he is a has been that cant fight anymore and he has turned into a discrace.They wont put him in this game because of his behavior in a nd out of the ring...This game is for the greats that went oput in style.Tyson once was great and I like him but now he is a black eye on boxing...
10 STARS FOR FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 2

No Competition

Fight Night round 2 is the most well put together stunning boxing game there is, but they have no competition with Knockout kings out. The Graphics are fantastic you can see the sweat coming off of the boxer, to the amazing varity of clothes your boxer can where to all the traing you need to do to keep up in this game you will never fell let down by the 50 dollar price tag. The gameplay is outstanding using the right analog stick to throw different and unique punches to get a KO. Usually announcers get on your nerves with all there gay and limited phrases, But fight nights has a annoncer that tells you every last detail of whats going on and what to watch out for. Fight Nights incredibley realism is amazing after each round they tell if u did good or not and give u stats of that round. You even have to cure the cuts and stuff, as you rise the rankings to the best boxer. I give it 5 stars no problem.

I'm Ready To Fight!!!!

This game is the best boxing game so far (that's until Round 3 come out). The graphics are great plus the soundtrack and the haymaker I love that haymaker. It's a very easy game to get hooked to. The best thing about this game is that you can do combos and knockouts out this world. You should get this game and you will love it. I got this for New Year's and it was the best of the best.
