User Rating: 8 | Fight Night Round 4 PS3
By korol_i_shut | Review Date:
Let me first start by saying, this game is pretty much exactly what I expected, I've played and enjoyed all the games in the Fight Night series and this one is obviously the best. If you're looking for anything new from the series, don't bother, the only real difference is that you can no longer block left or right punches, this time, you have to block in time with a thrown punch, and counter it, which by the way, is the only way to win any fights. If you think you're going to punch the opponent to death, you'll be TKO'd quickly. Which actually, is very realistic, the punches that hurt the most in real life are the ones you move into, after being squarley blocked or dodged, and, in the game, the same holds true. So get your reflexes in check, its the only way to become champ!

GFX: Really really good, best i've ever seen in a boxing game, this game is a joy to look at, excellent boxer detail. The backgrounds aren't as eyecandy as you'd like but your focus will usually always be on the boxers.

9/10

Sound: I like a game I can mute and listen to music, this is one of those games, the announcers say the same things over and over again and the music is terrible, be sure to get a set of earplugs with this game.

2/10

Gameplay: True to real life boxing, the fights WILL get harder as you move up the ranks and theres plenty of people still playing online to make it worth your while, theres not much in the way of replay but after you hack through career mode, you'll be ready to duel real life humans.

9/10

Overall: This game is sweet, when i want a bit of quick thinking fast action ass crunch, this is the game I play, one of my favorite fighters for the PS3, this game has what matters, FUN!!!

8/10

    Grimacing faces wobbled and crumpled under ferocious punches, sending spittle and sweat flying. It was beautifully brutal and the perfect advert for how next generation visuals could enhance a gaming experience. It also ... Read Full Review
