An instant revolution to fight fans and sports fans alike. Fight Night is a heavyweight contender!
With a more than solid style of gameplay, gamers will put their skills to the test with the new TPC, Total Punch Control, feature in Fight Night 2004. Throw devastating combos and flurries of jabs, hooks, and uppercuts with a simple push or curve of the R3 joystick. As if you were to throw a punch in a swinging motion say for a hook, the same action must be given with the right joystick to throw either a right or left jab, hook, or uppercut. Gameplay offers you a chance to dress your boxer for success with a wide array of boxing shorts, shoes, gloves, and defensive gear. Even buy yourself a spectacular entrance with purchasable effects, lighting, music, and even a beautiful entourage to accompany you to the ring. Once your dressed for the job, fight in the selection of arenas from a fight arena in Philly, all the way to the world renown Staples' Center! Boxing has never felt so fun!
Though not the best graphics for 2004, Fight Night has beautiful visuals that are sure to win you over. Though some of the graphics are not as always true to heart, Fight Night is one of the best they get for the boxing world and gaming world combined. Pro boxers look so real and the attention to detail in the custom character design is marvelous. Boxers are reactionary to hits, parries, and blocks, as well as leaning to avoid a killer punch. The graphics are a hit inside the arena but lacking outside. With blocky audiences and no sign of commentators, once leaving the arena is the only complaint.
Sound is innovative yet far from perfect in Fight Night 2004. Commentatorship is often repetitive and boring at times with its hip hop vibe. Often off target with the punches commentatorship is shortcoming but can offer a real feel at times. The sound effects are clean and clear for each punch moan and groan in the ring. Outside the ring, boxing style music is entertaining as you flip thru the menus. The sound isn't horrible or even bad, but not that good either in FIght Night 2004.
The fight results for Fight Night 2004 are unanimous and the decision is a winning one for this heavyweight contender. Add this fantastic game to your collection and you will surely not be disappointed. So touch gloves and prepare to fight!
