This game is ok for the regular xbox but is so much better on 360. The game play is pretty good and champion creator is interesting. However, the game is pretty easy, all you have to do is start off leaning and dodging, then hit some body shots, then throw your haymakers, and if opponent blocks just switch stance. Its not a bad game for the money.

The title says it all. the new haymakers are far too powerfull, landing ONE is enogh to put your oppenent in danger, even with full life and stamina. this game is all sizzle and no steak.....boring. FN-R2 is way better

This game is great fun, high on adreline, good graphics and the best of all, lands your punch like no other :) Among the highlights, I loved the ESPN Classics where you can relive the greatest boxing rivalries that existed in the world. By taking on the role of a previous champ, you get to play his moves! For instance, Ali is nimble, has stamina etc. while Frazier has deadly power behind his punches. But ofcourse, the main highlight of the game is the career mode, where you get to create your own boxer and make him a champ in any weight class! The game has amazing punch control and is extremely addictive. On the negative side, it lost charm after 40+ fights - coz most of my rivals had better physical fitness ratings than my boxer :( Overall, highly recommended - you will love it till you get tired of it.

XBOX Live "bug" fixed...

This is one of the first boxing games I've grown to love. Unfortunately, the game lacks features like themes - the soundtrack gets old very fast, especially if you're not into hip-hop.

Anyway, XBOX Live doesn't work until you "fix" the "bug" the game was programmed with. In short, I had to call XBOX support to get the solution - Set your XBOX System's date to 11/15/01. This is the only way anyone will get this game to work on XBOX Live.

As for re-setting the date every time you want to play online?...I don't know because there were only 12 others online at the time I played, which doesn't make for very good competition...considering the lag and cheaters.

I love fight night, and I have been playing EA's boxing games on XBOX since Knockout Kings 2002. The total punch control is nothing new now, and I find it very intuitive once learned. The reason why I cannot give this game more than 3 stars is because A) it has very few new boxers from last year's edition. If there can be over 500 baseball players in a baseball game from EA and several hundred real Football players in Madden, why not make more fighters in Fight Night? Also, this game is really easy. I am a true boxing fan, and if you fight with the right style it is very difficult to lose a fight, even on the hard setting, until your fighter has lost all his attributes on the decline in career mode. (the Mike Tyson punch out style actually works the best for this game) What I mean by that is... Block and Parry your opponent and counterpunch rather than lead. After successful parries, you should be able to land 3 and 4 punch combinations at will and you should have no difficulty breaking down your opponents and stop them 95 percent of the time within the distance. When I first played the game, I went straight to career mode on hard... and unified the title with a 35-1, 34KO record. The one loss was me fighting out of character going for a KAYO when I was ahead on the scorecards but didn't play it safe and paid the price. The game is just too easy against the AI.

For those wondering why your boxer freezes sometimes when you are blocked... it is because the computer is parrying your punch, which renders you useless for a bit and opens you up for very damaging counters. Do this to the computer, land counters in combination (I prefer a right hook to the head, right to the body, left to the body, right to the body or head as my bread and butter combo thats easy to pull off) At least 3 punches should land hard and clean after a successful parry.

Fight night round 3 is the best boxing game so far, I mean pernonaly I like it, you can go to carrer mode, and you can make your player look like you, and as you go through training,and fighting you really get into it, makes you feal if your in the game boxing your way through belts, and trophys ,and keeping your record clean with no loses.

DO NOT BUY!!!

It will ruin your TV. The fights are displayed only in widescreen and can not be changed. The fight action is very slow paced. Worst game ever played. I had to return it. I thought EA would do better on this game.

Fight Night: Round 3: Extremely Unpolished Embarassing Release

I had high expectations for Fight Night: Round 3. If EA just built on what they already had from Round 2 they would have been on the right track. They obviously rushed this game out the door extremely early in order to make microsoft happy. Other than how the game looks... the changes that were made impact gameplay in a very negative way. For example there is now nothing (yes absolutely nothing) on the screen during a fight. No power or stamina bars which is OK at first. But at least put the round time or give me an option to do so. But this is a minor gripe when compared to how stats mean nothing when it comes to your competition. Even if all your stats are higher than the competition, your computer oponent will exibit super human abilities to knock you out with a single haymaker even though you hit him with four in a row with no affect!!?? There is just too much to complain about to even list here but I will tell you that you should not buy this game. I have decided not to sell my copy to another unsuspecting gamer. Instead, I will sacrifice my game disk to the fire so that at least one copy will be eliminated from the planet. I encourage you all to do the same.

I don't own it because I have a question that I want someone to answer

Fight Night round 3 is a decent game it is everything that round 2 was except for the training which is easier in this game except for the problamatic combo dummy
in the fight when you are going to your corner to get all patched up by your manager and what not it is completley different from round 2 round 2 is so much simpler and uses the q-tips to soak up the blood and the d-sweller to take away the swelling this is my most hated part of this game for some reason i JUST HATE THAT THEY DIDNT KEEP IT THE SAME other than that there are no new features to this game just if you like round 2 youll probably like this one
