It seems crazy that I've just now gotten into the world of Fight Night, only picking it up 2 days ago. I now believe this is simply the best boxing game available, especially after experiencing Prizefighter. FNR3 immerses you into a chase to become the best, and you don't have a choice. To begin with, the create-a-fighter is fantastic, the only downside being the hair choices. You can adjust any setting you'd like, including height and weight, not always featured in games which a gamer would assume they should be in. The fighting is amazing; it looks great, flows smoothly, and keeps you coming back as each fight moves you up and becomes more intense. When knocking someone out, the game slows and the graphics become incredible as the opponent gets flung backwards with spit, maybe blood, flying out of his mouth as your fist collides with the side of his face. It's entertaining. The downsides, now, would have to include the storyline not including any sort of cutscene or dialogue, and the way an enemy can take a surprising number of shots to the face without falling at times. Other than that, this game is a solid fighter and deserves some praise. I haven't gotten to try the multiplayer for FNR3 yet, however I don't think it's anything special from what I've heard, so I'll just continue my quest in the story. If you like boxing, fighting, even a game that isn't overly exaggerating blood and injuries, check out this great game soon. It's worth the new Platinum Hits price tag.
