The Bottom Line:

"Almost, but not quite"

This game was an amazing game. The matches feel real to me and I really enjoyed the Champion mode. Following Andre Bishop's rise and fall and rise again to greatness was loads of fun. I actually sat and watched all the cut scenes (even tho you would have to wait a while to skip them). The counter system and the fatigue system felt great adding a better feel to the boxing.
The problem begins with the multiplayer. The problem is that it is totally unfair to new comers or to people actually trying to rank up. My first match online was horrible! I was put up against someone I thought was a beginner like me but instead my opponent had bought exp from the marketplace. When have game ever made it OK to "cheat"? I don't understand why buying exp is allowed online it gives players way to much of an edge when boxing.
