Stop Whining Already! This is great!

People need to stop whining that this game uses the total punch control and not the buttons. At first I was a little picky about this too... (didn't whine though) until I spent some time with the demo. I understand why they went with making you use the sticks now. THIS IS A SIMULATOR not a "fighting" game. They want it to be a realistic as possible and that doesn't include "BUTTON MASHING".

Look at it from this point of view. I'm glad they didn't allow us to use the buttons because how could online play be fair at that point? You have a button masher against someone using sticks it would be very unfair and very unrealistic with some one just pressing buttons how ever they see fit and putting no thought into what they are doing or having NO skill whatsoever. The sticks make you really feel like you're throwing the punches, which makes it more human.... UNLIKE the buttons which makes you fight more robotic!

Game wise... the graphics are unbelievable. You can see the pores in their skin on nice LCD TVS. Good Lord the KO replay is insane. Better than FN 3 by FAR. Physics are very realistic.

The fact they gave us the option to upload our own face... WITH OUT USING THE XBOX CAMERA... is a plus! Also there are numerous boxers you can download right from the game that others have created. I just got Rocky Balboa last night lol! Dope. Get this game if you are a gamer and want a challenge and don't want to be a button masher and fight against people online that don't want to be button mashers. If you want buttons... go play FN 3 and stay in the past ;)
